Guide to facial muscles for a better understanding of facial anatomy. Drawing a face is not just about copying features or proportions. Much of the sense of realism, expression and volume comes from understanding what's going on under the skin. That's why studying facial musculature can make a huge difference in the way you build portraits and expressions. In this free downloadable resource you will find a color visual guide to the main muscles of the face covered in the Anatomical Drawing of the Human Head course. The sheet is intended as a practical support for drawing students, illustrators, figurative artists and anyone interested in better understanding artistic anatomy. Beyond memorizing complex names, learning facial anatomy helps to understand why the face changes when a person smiles, frowns or turns their head. That structural understanding makes the drawing more coherent, intentional and natural.
