Lesson

Different Facial Expression

Step 1: Head Base
1. Start by drawing out a
simple head shape, an oval
for the skull, two ears, a
neck and the start of the
shoulder. Once you've got a
shape that pleases you, we
will start placing in the grid
that will help us place the
facial features

2. Now draw a vertical line that separates the face in half and make sure either size are
about the same width.
3. For the eye line, simply draw a straight line (Line Segment Tool (\) or Pen Tool (P)) from
one top of the ear to the other.
4. For the nose line, draw a straight line from one bottom edge of an ear, to the other.
5. To define the height of the brow line, cut the section between the eye line and top of
the skull into three. Only keep the line closest to the eye line and remember it to be your
brow line.
6. For the mouth line (that line will define the center/opening of the lips), cut the section
beneath the nose line and above the chin in half, draw the line and remember it to be
your mouth line.
Step 2: Features Base
*The nose is the one that will
help us with all the other
facial features. Using the
nose line, shape out the
nose you want; The width of
the nostrils is a great way to
determine where the inner
corners of the eye should
begin and where the top lip
should start to curl down.
And when you cut that
width in half, you have a
great reference for the
temples (they are located on the eye line, started beside the top of each ear).
With the temples created, you'll also know where the outer corners of your eyes are
located; so, with the inner and outer corners determined, you can shape out the
eyes. *For the mouth you want to make sure to draw the upper lip on top of the mouth
line and the bottom lip beneath the mouth line. *Finally, for the eyebrows, make sure to
have them slightly bowed and that the line is slightly longer both on the inside and outside
of the eyes. I then cleaned up the base
with the Brush Tool (B), color black, Stroke
Weight 0.3pt and the round brush in
Illustrator's default brush panel.
Step 3: Smile
Draw a simple bowed line, the corners
going upwards, to define the center line
of the mouth and then shape the top and
bottom lips to that line. While the eye
shape doesn't change, adding one or two
small lines on the outer corners to hint to
subtle laugh wrinkles will add to the
expression, since when you smile, your
cheeks push up.

Step 4: Grin Draw some small straight lines for the

teeth. Make the crinkles beside the eyes more
prominent and even add a small bowed line
beneath each eye to show the top of the cheeks
pushing up

Step 5: Surprise
All facial features move upwards and
become rounder/wider. *The brows arch
up, like trying to shoot its way up into the
hairline and because they do, you want
to slightly lift the nose up a bit since the
nose moves along with the eyebrows.
The eyes are almost completely circular
with the add on of the inner corners of
the eyes. *The mouth is the most
expressive feature in this expression. You
want to make the mouth less wide, but
taller. It helps to create an oval for the
mouth opening and then draw the lips
around that oval (teeth inside the oval).
Step 6: Sarcastic

The eyebrows do most of the work in

this expression, but there are some
subtle things happening in the mouth
and nose as well. Using the smile
expression as base, reshape the
eyebrows first. You can simply use one
eyebrow of the surprise expression,
since it goes up just as high. Whereas
the other frowns downwards.

You want to keep the outer corner

about the same height as the smile
eyebrow, but really push the inner
corner down towards the inner corner
of the eye. On the same side you
have the surprise eyebrow, tilt the
nostrils on that side subtly upwards. As
for the mouth, use the original center
line for the smile expression, and tilt it up on the same side as the surprise eyebrow. Adjust
the upper and bottom lip to the newly directed center line!

Step 7: Disgust

Use the sarcastic expression as base for

the nose wrinkle. Both for the center line
of the mouth and the eyebrows, you
want them to be as straight as possible.

Create a prominent frown between the

eyebrows, since they are essentially
pushing together in reality and make
sure the eyebrows push down onto the
top line of the eye, hugging one another
tightly. As for the mouth, the bottom lip
speaks for itself, whereasthe top lip, to
really definethe expression 'disgust',
curlonly one side (doesn't matterwhich)
of the mouth upwards
Step 8: Laugh
For the laugh expression we will
use the smile expression as a
base. Since themouth opens
further than it has so far, we're
going to move the jawline down
and at the same time, move the
bottom lip down with it while
keep the top lip right where it is. If
you're not sure how far down you
should move the jaw, use the
length between the bottom edge
of the nose and the start of the
upper lip as reference. The top
line of the bottom lip you can
draw by followed the cheek lines.
*Much like the smile and the grin,
you want the cheeks to be
prominently apparent
as they push up, but to add more
to that effect, we want to make the eyes more slitted, as though squinting. To do this,
select the bottom line of the eye, flip it horizontally, and adjust it back to the top eye!
There, you've got squinted eyes!
* Make the eyebrows less neutral by moving the inner corners closer to the bridge of the
nose while curving the outer corners upwards as they originally did.
Step 9: Shout
We will use the laugh expression here
since the jaw line is already properly
drawn for an open mouth, which is
needed for theshout [Link] the
mouth, don't touch the bottom lip,
only the upper one by bowing the lip
downwards, then adjust the bottom lip
to the newly shaped upper one.
What will really define this expression is
the eyebrows and nose. While the
bottom edge of the nose doesn't
move, you want to push the nostrils
upwards, as though they are flaring. As
for the eyebrows, the inner corners can
be pushed down in an exaggerated
manner, going as far as touching the
bridge of the nose and even drawing
a line to connect one eyebrow to the
other (without hairs). But keep the outer corners bowed upwards. To make the frown more
prominent, draw to small lines between the eyebrows to show that the skin is pushing
together there.
 Step 10: Angry
For the angry expression we'll use the shout
expression as base, since then we can leave
the eyebrows and eyes as they are while only
needing to work on the jawline and mouth.
Since the mouth won't be open any longer,
you want to move the jawline back up.
As for the mouth, remove the teeth and
tongue and then push the upper lip down
and the bottom lip up. Make sure there is a
small gap left to show a sliver of teeth, as
though gritting the teeth together.

Step 11: Sad

Sad is easy after you've created the smile
expression, since for the mouth, all you have
to do is flip the center lineof the mouth
horizontally so that it bows down rather than
up. The upper lip will need to be adjusted a
bit, but nothing to complex! The eyebrows
really help add to the expression. While the
inner corners create a curve, the rest of the
line follows the shape of the top line of the
eye, pointing downwards.

Step 12: Crying

Using the sad expression, we'll keep the
mouth as it is and work on the eyebrows and
eyes. While we want to keep the outer
corners of the eyebrows where they are, we
want to push the inner corners upwards. Like
the sad eyebrows, create a small curve on
the inner corners and then draw a straight
line downwards.
As for the eyes, remove the pupils and then
push the bottom line upwards to make them
seem more slitted and then redraw the
pupils, pointing them somewhat downwards.
People rarely look another person in the eye
when they cry. To add to the expression, you can add two small lines between the
eyebrows, to show the skin slightly pushes together there in sadness/worry. And then
because it's the crying expression, add some tears!
Step 13: Worry
Here we'll use the sad expression as base
since the eyebrows are in perfect place.
You want to add worry lines of the
forehead and to help define this expression
further, by thinning out the bottom lip, it'll
look as though she/he is bitting it in worry
when allowing a little bit of teeth to show.

Tip: If you use the worry lines of the

forehead with the eyebrows of disgust, the
slitted eyes of angry and the mouth of kiss
(will be shown in the next step), you get the
expression: Pensive

Step 14: Kiss

You can draw the kiss with open eyes, but

it's not as effective. So, remove the top line
and pupil, but keep the bottom line of the
eyes. What you want to do, is thicken it a
bit since you have the upper lashes and
bottom lashes meshing together. You want
to really curve the eyebrows, it'll give a
relaxed feel to the face, but the feature
that defines this expression is the mouth.
You want to make the lips almost as wide
as the nose, the center lip should bow up a
little bit since generally people who want
to kiss someone are happy, but, since the
lips are pushed together, allow there to be
wrinkly lines in the center. Two short and
curved lines placed on top of one another (one facing up for the upper lip and the other
facing down for the bottom lip). Drawing a heart can help to shape the lips around!
