In this lesson, we will learn how to draw faces with different expressions or Emotions. For each emotion, we will draw an emoji and a more realistic human face.
We will draw basic human emotions: Happiness, Sadness, Surprise, Scared, Anger,Disgust
The facial features that we need to consider while drawing each emotion:
- Eyebrows
- Eyes
- Nose
- Mouth
We need to draw each of these features a little differently for each expression.We will start by trying to express each emotion on an emoji face. Let’s see how!
Happiness
Large eyes, arched eyebrows and lips up
Sadness
Eyes down, eyebrows in inverse curve, lips or mouth down
Surprise
Eyebrows raised up in a curve, eyes wide open and mouth open in circle
Anger
Eyebrows like an upside down V, eyes open wide( or alternatively make them squinted), lips narrow and to the side
Scared
This looks like a mix of sadness and surprise, with eyebrows upside down, mouth corners down like an arc and wide eyes.
Disgust
Narrow squinted eyes, eyebrows lowered sideways,Mouth down in a frown or a “blehh” expression
Once we figure out how to express each emotion using emoji face, we will draw each of these expressions on a human face concentrating on each of the features.
Below is the facial expressions corresponding to the emojis; use the emojis as a guideline to draw the actual human face!
Large eyes, arched eyebrows and lips up -HAPPY
Eyes down, eyebrows in inverse curve, lips or mouth down– SAD
Eyebrows raised up in a curve, eyes wide open and mouth open in circle–SURPRISE!
Eyebrows like an upside down V, eyes open wide( or alternatively make them squinted), lips narrow and to the side -ANGER
Narrow squinted eyes, eyebrows lowered sideways,Mouth down in a frown or a “blehh” expression-DISGUST
This looks like a mix of sadness and surprise, with eyebrows upside down, mouth corners down like an arc and wide eyes.-SCARED
Below is a slideshow of the artwork done in class by the students, some of them have colored the human faces and to add some exaggeration they have added some colors to the face based on the expression which is a fun Art way to express the feelings !!
