HOW BROWS AND CHEEKS INTERACT WITH EYES
One aspect of facial expression that is often overlooked is how the brow and
cheek muscles affect the eyes.
There are muscles under the eyebrows that tend to cover your eyes during
expressions of anger or frustration. Cheeks will also overlap your eyes when
you smile or laugh. Learning the anatomy of facial muscles can help your skills
improve—I guarantee it!
FOCUS ON EYES, MOUTH, AND EYEBROWS
The eyes, mouth, and eyebrows are where most facial expressions come from.
I find that when you focus your attention on these specific areas, it is easier to
create great facial expressions. Parts of the face such as the nose and ears play
a much smaller role since they do not move much regardless of the emotion
shown. Focus your creative energy mainly on the eyes, mouth, and eyebrows
when drawing facial expressions.
