DESCRIPTION:
"I'm glad I ordered it anyway" according to Tenshi. After reading several critical reviews here, I was a little hesitant to buy this book. I'm glad I ordered it anyway.Despite the fact that the art in this book is excellent, it's not a coffee table book, nor is it an art showcase for the authors. This book is designed for the beginner to intermediate level artist who wants to get a good understanding of what happens when a human face goes about the business of describing emotions and feelings.The book consists of 2 main parts. The first part is an illustrated breakdown and explanation of individual facial features. In other words, a step-by-step app. Coloring outside the lines! Dr. Jelly Very well written and easy to comprehend. I really like that it is trying to teach you to draw your own characters using the knowledge of expressions they teach your rather than learn to draw 100 characters that are their own.this book teaches you to create expressiona while coloring outside the lines.other books demonstrate expression and ask you to not only color in the lines, but copy their lines first.. Wonderful character studies I use this book in my art class to show how facial features change with expressions. The book has wonderful series of characters who are put through various situations, and it shows how to re-draw their face through each expression change. The art is superb, especially compared to other books in its price-range. The only issue is that I have had to censor the book because some of them images are not school appropriate. There are several (heavily exaggerated) scantily clad women and a man who goes through the stages of being drunk and hungover.
