@kyolin's post on Artfol

You know... I've come to realize that I only posted one artwork of a girl truly smiling. Maybe I should admit that I suck at doing facial expressions? Maybe im just scared that if for some reason I were to give them the facial expression I wanted they'd just turn ugly πŸΈπŸ‘œ.

I want to do facial expressions that REALLY show off emotion, instead of the typical "pretty girl" Carbon copy I always end up them. βœ¨πŸ™ƒ

Where the heck do I start? 😀

I jus draw circles with the plus sign, guideline thing (whatever it’s calledπŸ˜…) in the middle and draw faces wit different expressions at different angles, that helps me wit expressions and face structure

I would suggest practicing drawing just the expression (like no head, just eyes eyebrows nose and mouth) and then sketch them on heads until you feel like you’ve got it down

I totally feel this! I recently watched one of Ethan Becker’s videos about fixing β€œdeadface” and thought it was helpful
