What you'll learn
By strengthening your understanding of expressions, you can breathe a lot of personality and emotion into your own characters. You can convey what they are feeling and how they might be reacting to other characters and situations. In this course, we'll focus on drawing six common expressions. For each type of expression we'll start off by exploring how we can draw it on a human character. Following this, we'll spend some time drawing the same expression on non-human characters and explore how we can push other attributes of this character to get the most out of each expression. By gaining an understanding of how to draw these common expressions, you'll be able to create more interesting and engaging expressions for your own characters, in addition to exploring many other expressions with more creative confidence.
