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.
