Facial Expressions, Volume 3: A Visual Reference Photo Guide for Artists

The best-selling facial expressions books now have another volume of amazing reference images for artists of all kinds. Artists are tired of looking in the mirror and drawing their own face. For those artists (and their long-suffering friends), here is the best book ever. Facial Expressions includes nearly 1,000 photographs of 50 faces (full galleries of 13 models)—men and women of a variety of ages, shapes, sizes, and ethnicities—each demonstrating a wide range of emotions and shown from multiple angles. Who can use this book? Oh, only every artist on the planet, including art students, illustrators, fine artists, animators, storyboarders, and comic book artists. But wait, there’s more! Additional photos focus on people wearing hats, pointing, leaning, age progression (super cool!) and close-ups of eyes, ears and mouths. Still not enough? How about a one-of-a-kind series of photos of lips pronouncing the phonemes used in human speech? Animators will swoon—and artists will show a range of facial expressions from happy to happiest to ecstatic. Perfect gift for any artist. “The most amazingly diverse collection I’ve ever seen.” – Bud Plant Comic Art “Absolute necessity! I just recently started creating a webcomic and I never could have done it without this book. The expressions range from highly exaggerated to more subtle and, I promise you, will work for almost any expression you want to create. Also, many expressions are shot at multiple angles, making it much easier for me to create the exact image I am thinking of. Perfect.” – Jaz Sendon INTRODUCTION 8 HOW TO USE THIS BOOK 9 SKULL GALLERY 11 EXPRESSIONS GALLERY 17 AGE PROGRESSION GALLERY 63 PHONEMES GALLERY 73 HATS & HEADGEAR GALLERY 77 LEANING GALLERY 83 POINTING GALLERY 87 CLOSE-UP GALLERY 95 ART GALLERY 105 MODEL CONTACTS 120 ARTIST CONTACTS 121 INDEX 122 MARK SIMON BOOKS 123
