INTRO TO FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

Faces are capable of making countless

variations in expressions, and each person

has their own unique looks and reactions.

It is our task as artists to recreate them in

our artwork.

There is nothing better than being able to

translate an idea you have in mind onto

paper. This lesson will help you learn how

to do just that.

Facial expressions are one of the best

ways to make your drawings come to life.

Whether a simple cartoon or majestic fine

art painting, facial expressions are a large

aspect of creating any character.

Using a few simple tricks and a

basic knowledge of anatomy, you

can create amazing expressios.

As we did with eyes, we will first

explore the basics and how to

breakdown facial expressions. The

same process will easily translate to

any character you want to design.

So once again, grab your

sketchbook and pens and let’s

get started!

PRO TIP:

You can use different levels

of detail for characters in

your artwork.
