How troubling

So I've just thought up of a really awesome one-shot comic about a kid and his pet fish, but as I'm doing preliminary sketches, I realize that I've never drawn seriously sad faces before. Seriously, all the people I've drawn have either happy faces or super exaggerated extreme faces, which are more for laughs than anything really haha.

In the middle portion of this story, the boy starts to cry, which turns into something like a massive sobfest as he runs home hahaha, AND IT'S NOT WORKING. Oh boy, I can't seem to draw that one snotty sobbing face that really elicits feelings of sympathy from people, which is the reaction I totally want aaaaarrrghghfhhgakjdfa. HAAAALLLPPPP!!

Do any of you kind MangaBulleteers (lolwut) have handy reference sheet for crying faces? Or general advice about this sort of stuff? Any input is highly appreciated ;v;

HAH. MangaBulleteers. Great job Lark.
