About this product

Product Information

Chances are, you already know how to draw some expressions. But face it, your stories can only get so far with "happy," "sad" and "angry." In order to give your characters some character, you need to know what they look like when they're about to sneeze, when they smell something stinky or when they're flirting, horrified or completely blotto. Lucky for you, that's what this book is all about Making Faces contains everything you need to give your characters a wide range of expressions Part 1: The Basics. How to draw heads, mouths, noses and eyes, and how they change shape when they move. Part 2: The Faces. Over 50 step-by-step demonstrations for a variety of expressions divided into scenarios. Each scenario shows four or five expressions from a single character, from simple emotions to more subtle and complex variations, so you see how a face changes with each emotion. Sidebars illustrate the same expressions on a variety of other characters. Part 3: Storytelling. How to move your story along using expression, point of view, body language and composition. See how it all comes together with damsels in distress, a noir-style interrogation, a Western standoff and other situations. Illustrated with a diverse cast of characters from hobos to superheroes to teenage girls, this guide will help you create the looks that say it all.

Pencil actors
I believe that cartoon characters are like actors, and the cartoonist is at the same time actor and director. Most cartooning books prepare some basic expressions, others prepare a expression sheet, but not many decide to make a deep study on a particular expression. Exaggerating, yes. Extreme, could be. But the cartoon faces need to transmit feelings, thoughts, personality. Of course, faces need to be combined with body language. You can complement the book with the chapter "What are your characters saying?" of Mitch Byrd's "notes to draw from Vol. 1" from Blue Line Pro.

Awesome Book for Any Level
Character drives story, and story drives sales. Facial expressions drive character and story. This book is a gem: concise but thorough, it works both as a primer for the newb, and also as a great reference or review for the pro.
