ART GUIDE: Face anatomy - Main muscles 😮
Added 2021-05-23 11:00:00 +0000 UTCHello my dear Patrons! 🦦
Hope you're having a pleasant weekend 🌴
I present to you a short guide about facial muscles. I love that I can learn such things with you! Drawing facial muscles on my line art portrait was extremely interesting. (Of course, I didn't study medicine, so I used many photos from the Internet).
I recommend drawing muscles on one of your portraits - it can be on transparent tracing paper in traditional art, or on a separate layer in a digital drawing. There is a lot to understand about expression (where the muscles that "pull" in a given direction begin) and how the planes of the face are shaped. Regardless of whether you create realistic or cartoon drawings, at some point such knowledge will be useful.
If this topic interests you, we can explore it a bit more - then I would draw portraits with facial expressions along with the muscles that are responsible for them. It is a bit broader topic so I would need more time for it. But if you are curious, let me know of course!
Have a nice week! 🧁
