All language subtitles for 082 Drawing Character Expression Sheets Part 2.en

So first off let's just kind of draw what we have going on right here.

And so that's going to look something like four.

The eyebrows are going to be very angled downwards.

We're going to England downwards even more than we did on the last.

We're going to let them kind of overhang over the actual circle we have there the oval that's representing

the eye

right.

Something like that.

Let's go ahead.

Let's draw the nose in so since this person is going to have an open mouth and they're going to be stretching

their draw down and they're also angry noses tend to flare.

So what we'll do is we'll kind of draw this one a little bit differently.

We'll draw a kind of more like this kind of more stretched out and we'll see a little bit more of that

nostril something like that.

Once again we're exaggerating.

So doing stuff like this is always good and just really exaggerating that feature.

And that might look a little bit weird we'll come back and maybe change that if it doesn't look right.

Then let's go ahead and let's draw in the mouth so the mouth is somewhere down here and we want to just

kind of copy the same basic shape we have over here on our simple version of the angry face.

So it's just kind of a curved trapezoid.

So you get the top part kind of comes down like this

something like that.

So they're like yelling or something like this.

Then let's go ahead and let's sketch in the jaw line so an issue I see a lot of the times with begin

arteries is that they will draw a character yelling or opening their mouth or something like that and

they don't realize that the jaw has to open when you draw that if you go look yourself in the mirror

you'll notice that when you open your jaw at angles backwards curves back and your face kind of becomes

longer.

So you need to take that into account when you're drawing an open mouth so we can go ahead and kind

of sketch that out just kind of stretching out the same sort of shape we have going on there.

We're gonna get a little bit more of a down view so that means that the chin is gonna get a little bit

pointy or a little bit more long dated

right.

So that looks really messy right now.

But what I can do is it can come back and I can kind of clean that up but I just wanna make sure that

it looks good like that and I'll come back and I'll just erase some of this.

EL

I come back in and kind of sketch that out.

Maybe I'll just kind of lighten it up like this.

Kind of make it match my under drawing

and I'll go back in there

and I'll draw it in with a better line quality just more crisp and clean looking

I can still keep it pretty sketchy looking.

All right.

So that jawline looks a lot better.

Next let's go ahead and let's do the eyes.

So for the eyes again it's going to be scrunching down over his eyelids so that means that we can go

ahead kind of sketch something out.

And actually this person to be this kid is going to be very angry so let's just make his eyes closed

so I'm going to actually bring down his brows a little bit more so they are really closing his eyes.

I'll bring him down to somewhere right about their

and then I'll go ahead and kind of sketch in where the eyelids would kind of be closing so something

like that and I want them angled upwards kind of like his eyebrows right.

That's kind of representing his closed eyelids or at least the crack between them going on at a line

like that that for the eyelid Kevin line coming off like this the line coming off from the corner of

the IRS is or from the cornea

then we can go ahead and also kind of sketch in sort of a line like that and somebody is kind of squinting

their face like that because they're angry it really kind of squishes everything together and gets really

wrinkly some like that.

Let's go ahead and add some teeth in.

So just kind of add a round sort of line like that because the teeth are kind of rounded back into the

head

go ahead and kind of clean this line work up on his mouth.

Use kind of cleaner and more simple lines.

His bottom lip.

Go ahead and let's actually add his bottom teeth in here as well

that also get his tongue in there.

We can go on shake this and later when we come back for shaving maybe I'll actually just kind of do

a little bit of cross hatching in there to shade it for now.

Looks pretty good.

All right let's see.

Let's kind of work this face a little bit more.

Let's work the eyes a little bit more.

I think it can look a little bit better.

So what I want to do is I'm gonna go ahead and kind of race out the eyelid

I'm going to kind of work on this a little bit more and try to get a little bit more woops a little

bit more squinty

there will be kind of my eyelash

let's go ahead and kind of draw on the shape of those eyebrows as well

and those lines are to really show how distressed our character is

you can even add some wrinkles kind of like coming out the eyes like the that'll help out the anger

in our characters eyes a little bit more

and I also think that we can probably actually enlarge this and mouth a little bit so because of photoshop

I can just kind of quickly do this.

If you can't that's OK you can always race

you can reposition that Mal flex a little bit better.

All right.

I think that looks pretty good for a really angry face.

Just keeping it nice and sketchy

and a little bit more arch to his eyebrows.

All right now going to go ahead sketch the rest of his head.

I'll see you when I'm done.

All right.

Great.

That looks pretty good.

So let's go ahead and let's try another one.

So go ahead move these faces over to the next one would be sad.

So let's do a sad face.

We'll start down here in this corner.

So again we're just going to start off by using the markers we used for the eyebrows the mouth and the

eyes to figure out where this face fits onto it.

So if we're sad that means the eyebrows are going to kind of angle upwards a little bit like this right

and then the mouth is going to kind of have a downturn to it.

So everything is angled downwards the corner of the mouth is angled downward as the eyebrows are angled

downwards and that makes a sad face.

And I should specify it's kind of angled downwards from the outside edges of these.

So now we can base you can really see that our character looks sad.

Now we just have to add in the details.

So we'll go ahead for the eyes.

Oftentimes somebody is sad their eyelids will kind of droop down a little bit more so we can kind of

bring the eyelashes down a little bit the top eyelid and we'll just show off a little bit more of that

top eyelid

something like that.

And for the top eyelid we can go ahead and kind of sketch in

something like that.

Great.

Then we go ahead and sketching the IRS now if you wanted to you could really exaggerate this you can

make the IRS a very big.

You could just darken it all in.

If you want to go something more like anime.

Just very exaggerated when people get sad.

Oftentimes in animation they like to make their eyes bigger so you could do something like that.

You could add a lot of reflection in there to make it look like their eye was watering.

In this case I mean let's just I'm not going to do that just because that's not the style I want to

go with.

But that's just an option.

You can go with if that's what you're looking for someone to go ahead just kind of do the same Iris

I've been doing maybe I'll make my character looking downwards this time

because when people are sad they look down

and I'll go ahead and draw their nose and we can just kind of draw the nose and just like we did on

the one above it just nice and simple

let's go ahead draw the eyebrows in so we can kind of curve them up like this because that's what's

happening is these muscles are pushing upward so it's gonna kind of curve the edge of our eyebrow like

that

fill those in

and we can do the same thing when people get angry.

The same thing happens when they get sad.

They kind of get these wrinkles right there in their face can also kind of add little lines coming off

the corners of the eye like that

one too we could try doing a different mouth maybe one that's like slightly open you know you could

do something like that

yeah a little open like that.

I think that looks kind of cool.

I like that that bottom lip in then I'll go ahead and just sketch in the rest of the head.

All right.

So there we go.

There is a sad face.

Now these faces can really be exaggerated a little bit more.

I'm kind of rushing through this a little bit just because I don't want this to be like a three hour

long video but you could really play around with your expressions and try different levels of exaggeration

because a Saturn for example it does look good it looks sad but I might try something more exaggerate

I might bring those eyebrows up even more angle I'm upwards even more really make a really sad mouth

make the eyes very droopy you know stuff like that to really exaggerate and push the facial expression.

Let's go ahead and let's move on.

So when do the last two kind of the way just the way I've been doing it all you'll notice as I do it

I'm just going to draw that simple face on there so I'll start by doing that just you can kind of see

me work on that.

So for the surprise face.

Go ahead and just sketch in it see surprise I want to bring the eyebrows up really high like this.

Higher those eyebrows the more surprised our character is gonna look like that for the mouthful just

kind of

create a mouth something like that just kind of a simple oval it'll be a little bit crooked so I'll

kind of bring the lip up a little bit more on that side.

So there's kind of our simple surprised face and then let's go ahead and let's do sort of the skeptical

maybe confused face so many go ahead and draw this eyebrow down like this so it's gonna be almost straight

it'll be curved but it'll be kind of a straight line across rather than angled downwards as if my character

was angry when you're drawing eyebrows a lot of times you want to kind of think of the eyebrows as being

connected by an invisible line so you don't want to just have an eyebrow down like this and another

one like that if you have a confused person because that doesn't really connect what you want to do

you want to kind of connect if you can imagine there's a dotted line here you want to kind of connect

those so it's kind of one smooth sort of noodle of a line right.

Same with this one and connect a line going across there.

So a lot of the times you want to kind of keep that in mind so there's kind of a confused eyebrows

and then for the mouth let's go ahead we'll just kind of do what we did before we just kind of put a

little line like that and we'll build our mouth off of that.

And then from here we basically just want to take into account kind of what the eyebrows are doing for

our eyes.

So for example since these eyebrows are going up that means that the eyes are going to be very wide

so we can bring that upper eyelash all the way to the very top of that oval that we've drawn in there.

We don't have a smile going on so we can just keep the bottom eyelid very much like this right in our

characters already kind of showing the way to their eyes.

So that doesn't really make a difference with this character show the what are the eyes on top of the

eye

right.

But it's really kind of that mouth helps with the surprise to look and then also having those eyebrows

really high and really raised for the confused or skeptical look we want to bring the eyelid down kind

of like we did with the angry faces.

It's kind of like that have our eyelid let that brow kind of hang over the eyelid and for the other

eyes since it's the eyebrows raised up we get this different look.

So it's kind of mixing this eye over here with the sort of skeptical or angry I write something like

that when I have a smile going on so we can kind of just draw the bottom.

Ireland normal and maybe this cheek is kind of bunching up a little bit because this character is kind

of pulling his mouth up into that direction so you kind of get more of a straight line on the bottom

of that eye.

And then let's go ahead.

It's drawn

the eyes so I want to have them looking after the side because it makes the drawing a little bit more

interesting.

And so you can see there that they have those very basic faces that I then turned into actual facial

expressions that work with my character's actual design.

All right.

So go ahead and just finish drawing these up and shading them and I'll see you when I'm done.

All right.

So there we go.

Just finish these up.

Now one thing I just want to point out really quick is you'll notice that this character's mouth over

here his mouth is kind of pulling up towards this way.

And so that kind of effects that side of his face a little bit more than it does on the other side over

here.

So you'll notice that I kind of angled the center of the nose kind of more angled like that kind of

like the angle of the mouth and that just kind of adds a little bit more exaggeration in there.

It makes the face look a little bit more expressive.

OK.

So just remember that when you're doing character expressions that you want to based off of the simple

and exaggerated faces in.

Also remember that you can do many different versions of each type of expression.

So for example we could do like three different happy ones.

We could do one where he's smiling like this and we could do one where his mouth is more open and you

see his teeth a little bit more we could do one where he had a huge big grin on his face showing his

teeth off.

So all these can have different variations but the whole point about doing these design sheets is so

that you can actually design out your character's facial expressions the way you want them to look.

So then when you redraw them you have them as reference to figure out what is their facial expression

look like and you've already designed it so you already know what that looks like.

All right.

That brings us to the end of this lecture.

If you have any questions please post them to the Q and A section of the course.

And if you followed along or if you drew your own character expression sheet I want you to post that

to the Q and A section of the course because I and other students would love to see what you're working

on.

Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next lecture.
