good start on facial expressions
The book goes over the fundamentals of drawing faces and later gets into facial expressions.
Each artist brings their own individual art style and their drawing process of developing facial expressions, A good book to have in a cartoonist's library,
Avoid the Kindle version of this book which has grainy images and the intro page that introduces the artists is unreadable, Far from being written by a talented person, it can be quite useful for the first steps of the child, And the book is far less formulaic than others in the same range, Pretty good
The book was good but more for beginners,
The illustrations were stylish and instructive, Not to mention funny. The level of expression of the drawings are awesome definitely good starter work, I enjoyed the diversity of style in the book and the input of different artists, The variety of characters
was helpful in exploring different approaches, A bit selfimportant and unnecessarily smart at times, but it was fun to see different styles, Probably useful for a beginner hobby artist, Chances are, you already know how to draw some expressions, But face it, your stories can only get so far with happy, sad and angry, In order to give your characters some character, you need to know what they look like when they're about to sneeze, when they smell something stinky or when they're flirting, horrified or completely blotto.
Lucky for you, that's what this book is all about!
