Guide to facial muscles for a better understanding of facial anatomy. Learning to draw faces is not just about copying features or memorizing proportions. Often, the difference between a stiff portrait and one that conveys life lies in understanding what's going on under the skin. That's why studying facial musculature can completely change the way we look at and construct a human head. Understanding which muscles are involved in an expression, how they modify the volumes or how they affect the surface of the face helps to draw with more precision, naturalness and coherence. This free download brings together a color guide with the main muscles of the face worked on in the course, intended as support material for drawing students, illustrators, figurative artists or anyone interested in artistic anatomy.
