Draw face expressions how to#
It’s a good idea to observe different people’s expressions and try drawing different expressions.This project had everyone laughing, but there was also anger, surprise and fear! That’s because the children were learning how to draw faces expressing a wide range of emotions. When drawing a character’s happiness, sadness, or anger, it’s easier to draw a character’s emotions, and many cartoonists and illustrators say that they tend to draw the same face as the character when drawing their expressions. When drawing facial expressions, in addition to being careful how you draw them, I recommend that you draw while feeling the emotions of the character. The larger the surprise, the larger the opening of the eyes and mouth should be. The mouth should be round and open to create a surprised look. When you are startled, your face will look round in the image of your eyes and mouth.Įyes should be slightly wide and eyebrows raised. You can make her look more like crying in frustration by making her eyebrows weaker than in anger, moistening her eyes and lifting her lower eyelids. Slightly loosen your anger and crying face to make it look like crying in frustration. The corners of your mouth should be lowered to form an upward angle.ĭepending on how angry you are, you may want to increase the angle of your eyebrows, widen your eyes, or blush. When you’re angry, your eyebrows should be lifted upward.Īs you lift your eyebrows up, as if they were wrinkles between your eyebrows. I’ll show you how to draw a cry of frustration together in the next section on angry looks. If you are crying with happiness, you should keep your mouth in a smile and your eyebrows lowered modestly. If you imagine that you are crying loudly, you can open your mouth wider.Īs your grief grows, we recommend lifting your lower eyelids to moisten your eyes and making your tears bigger. This is quiet crying, but as the crying becomes more intense, the lowering of the eyebrows and the expression of the mouth becomes louder. When you are crying, your eyebrows drop and your mouth is right next to each other. Your character’s face will also look more emotional if you lift the lower eyelid. So if you want to look more happy and joyful, try lifting your lower eyelids a little bit. This is because as your cheek muscles are lifted, your lower eyelids will also naturally lift. If they look very happy or happy, do your lower eyelids lift up a little bit too? Observe the pictures and the expressions on your friends’ faces. So let’s start by raising the corners of your character’s mouth. When you are happy or joyful, the zygomaticus muscle in your cheeks is pulled up and the corners of your mouth go up. The first thing you want to be aware of when drawing a smile is the upward angle of the mouth.

We’ll also introduce some other points to keep in mind besides the eye and mouth area, so check it out. Now, let’s see how the eye and mouth areas change with each expression. The areas around the eyes (eyebrows and eyes) and the mouth are the ones you want to pay special attention to.Īs the old saying goes, “The eyes speak louder than the mouth,” and emotions can be seen around the eyes.Īlso, just by changing the mouth area, your expression can change dramatically. When drawing facial expressions, you should first observe the expressions of your friends, whether in a mirror, in a photo, or in a friend’s face.
