Drawing Facial expressions, Readably and Convincingly is indeed a challenge. Facial expressions need a higher level of involvement from the Artist, as compared to other forms of drawing like quick sketching, roughing out layouts for a composition or even making gesture drawings etc.
The artists at Disney studios in the early days, were taught to draw with “Feeling”. This meant that the artists were encouraged to ‘feel’ the emotion or facial expressions that they tried to show on the face of a character. But before ascending to that level of performance, the artist needed to have a strong grasp on how the facial features interact and play out the varied types of expressions that are possible on the human face.
This course simplifies the how facial expressions happen on the face. The idea of focusing on only a few crucial factors which alone can execute every possible facial expression is the core thrust of this course.
And with minimal handles to worry about, the process is made more simple and the artist can put all the focus on ‘feeling’ the expression by adding value with additional input like “enhanced acting” etc.
In short , this course aims to be the bridge between the the artist and that higher level of performance. Where it’s not about the drawing , but about the ‘Acting’ and ‘Feeling’ , In the drawing ,which the artist infuses into the drawing by feeling and acting out that emotions etc. To make it project that magical quality which makes the audience forget that they are looking at a drawing, and become engaged with the acting, feeling and essence etc of a facial expression!
