In this next Beginner Figure Drawing lesson we'll cover the area that is going to give our figures more personality and that is Facial Expressions! Because we need to know a bit about how the face moves we are going to have to delve into the underlying anatomy for the first time. So we are going to spend most of our lecture going over these internal mechanics so we can understand how they move the muscles of our face. After which we will do some demonstrations of different expressions and then end everything as always with a Timed Drawing Session as well as follow-up demonstration. References used in the class are attached to Project and Resources. Let's get drawing!
