Not by me, but his things to know
How to do “extra” facial expressions!
Drawing basic facial expressions is not the hardest. Most people can draw a sad face, a happy face, angry etc., but making more multidimensional expressions is more of a challenge. I have gotten a lot of compliments on how I draw facial expressions, (specifically “angsty ones”) telling me that they are very dramatic and well… expressive! And there are actually only a few things I think about when I draw faces that take them to the next level, so I thought i’d illustrate them all here!
SUPER IMPORTANT TIP BEFORE WE START: Look at your own face when you draw faces. Even making the face when you are drawing (you don’t even have to look at it), will give you some sense of how the face muscles pull and where things fold and stretch, because you can feel it. You are the best reference when it comes to facial expressions!
Angles 
Draw the head in an angle that matches the expressions you want to make. It is not a requirement, but is going to add to the effect.
Tumblr media
Symmetry vs asymmetry 
A face is rarely symmetric. Unless the face the character is making is 100 % relaxed or even dissociating, the eyebrows, mouth and facial muscles will have different placements of their respective side. This image shows the dramatic impact asymmetry has on a face: 
Tumblr media
That’s the difference between a smile and a smirk!
Tumblr media
The first one’s like “oh yeah?” and the second is like “oH YEAH??”
The “balloon squishing principle”
This is something I did subconsciously, and I didn’t know about until I made this tutorial. And this principle goes hand in hand with an asymmetric face. Basically, if you squish one part of the face, you need to even out the empty space by “inflating” the other part of the face so that it doesn’t appear shrunken. The picture hopefully explains it:
Tumblr media
Teeth 
Don’t forget to add the gum when the mouth is open to its full potential!
Tumblr media
Squinting and folding
Adding folds around the eyes when a character is squinting makes a HUGE difference. It makes a smile more genuine and a growl more intimidating. Adding folds to the face in general makes your characters more lifelike and ‘visually relatable’. Like, they look human, and less plastic or fake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and so on..
Pupils and irises 
The placement of the iris and pupil in relation to the eyelids is very important! The less of the white you see, the more relaxed the character is. 
Tumblr media
And then of course eyebrows and eyes go hand in hand!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gestures, spitting, sweating… 
Adding more elements than just a face is key to making the character actually look like they are feeling what you want them to feel. Just the tiniest sweat drop adds to their anxiety, spitting adds frustration to their rage, slouching shoulders, waving hands, a double chin, extreme angles, the list goes on! Add whatever and see what kind of impact it makes! Does it do the trick? Great! Add it! 
Over exaggeration!! 
Remember that you can almost always exaggerate more. Don’t be afraid to do draw “too much” because you’re just experimenting. See what works and what doesn’t. What do you like to exaggerate?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now that you know some theory, it’s time to practice!
Practicing!! 
The 25 Essential Expressions (a classic! I’ve done it multiple times)
Tumblr media
And the one I do when I’m bored:
Fill a page with circles and fill them in with different expressions. Try and exaggerate as much as you can! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is mostly for experimenting. They are quicker to draw than complete faces, but the same rules should apply!
And that’s about it!
I don’t know if I covered everything in this tutorial, since some things might be obvious for me, and this post perhaps only scratches the surface. So feel free to send me a message if you want an explanation about something more in depth! Thank you for reading! And now DRAW!!! ✨🎨

This has been something that has been bothering me for the past few years, every time I encounter someone who’s just started as an artist, they put themselves down because they’re intimidated by artists who are more experienced.  Intimidation is something that every artist has (or will) encounter in their lives, and they need to pull through that fear in order to grow as an artist.  Take that intimidation and be inspired about it.  What makes it intimidating?  What makes their work look so unique?  That’s where your learning opportunistic moments will occur, you find those reasons and you create something new out of all that you’ve learned! I believe that anyone, ANYONE, can become an artist.  It takes dedication and determination, but I promise you that drawing is one of the most rewarding art forms I’ve ever experienced.  You will always learn something new with it, therefore, the fun never stops!

This is awesome
I feel like we need to talk more bout America Chavez.
Tumblr media
She’s a teenage latino gay superhero from another dimension. Like, how could you not just love her? Oh, and she’s a member of the Young Avengers.
Tumblr media
Yes. As in THOSE Young Avengers. Did I mention she’s incredibly bad-ass?
Tumblr media
You wanna talk powers? This lady has powers up the wazoo. We’re talking super strength and durability, flight,
Tumblr media
as well as bullet-proof skin.
Tumblr media
Is Loki checking out her ass? goddamn it Loki she will kick you so hard in the face. Oh yeah, there’s another thing.
Tumblr media
She can literally kick holes between dimensions to allow for instant travel across worlds. So, basically…
Tumblr media
America Chavez is essentially the ultimate superhero and someone we DEFINITELY need to be talking about more often.
