FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
How are you able to distinguish when a person is
happy, sad, mad, confused—the various emotions we
all experience daily? It’s all thanks to facial expressions!
Drawing expressions can be difficult, but I will teach
you some tips and tricks I use regularly to draw them
better.
THE CATERPILLAR EYEBROW APPROACH
An art instructor told me about a “caterpillar eyebrow”
approach to facial expressions. It involves taking both
eyebrows and drawing them as one long unibrow
across the forehead.
You then move the unibrow around like a caterpillar to
see how many different expressions you can make. You
can definitely discover a lot of fun expressions using
this method. This is also a great way to break free from
overusing the same expression.
OVERLAPPING SHAPES AND LINES
Learning the correct way to overlap shapes and lines
will help you create depth and add character to your
drawings. Good areas for adding lines are on the
cheeks, mouth, eyes, and eyebrows.
