Would you like people to connect with your characters instantly, on a deep, and profoundly emotional level?
Of course you do.
That's why we draw characters in the first place - to captivate the audience, and engage them. That connection is never more powerful than when our characters feel relatable; when they feel real.
One of the best ways to achieve this is through facial expressions. It's one of the most potent non-verbal ques that allow people to empathize with and understand your characters. It gives us a visual clue as to what they're thinking, feeling, and even planning to do next.
Facial expressions allow us to capture an outward representation of the character's inner emotional state.
If we're able to convey the emotions of our character's effectively, they instantly come across as more believable, but most importantly more human - which is vital in visual storytelling.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to draw facial expressions easy, as you shape, animate and draw them to effectively emote. Specifically, we'll be focusing on how to draw happy face expressions.
You'll also learn about range of emotional expression, as we exaggerate the shape, movement and composition of the facial features to display building intensities of Happiness.
The same theories talked about here can of course be transferred over too any number of feelings a character is capable of emoting.
If you're ready to learn how to get better at drawing facial expressions and bring your characters to life with new levels of emotional flair, there's no time to waste - watch this tutorial and discover the true range of expression your characters are waiting to portray.
Let's begin!

I have heard a reason why rough work can look better than clean lines. Your eyes and brain will create the "perfect" line in your head from all the seperate ones turning it into and intended image.
It is kind of an illusion your brain tricks you.
