All artists are tired of persuading their nearest and dearest to look sad…look glad…look mad…madder…no, even madder…okay, hold it. For those artists (and their long-suffering friends), here is the best book ever. Who can use this book? Oh, only every artist on the planet, including art students, illustrators, fine artists, animators, storyboarders, and comic book artists. 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.. Facial Expressions includes more than 2,500 photographs of 50 faces—men and women of a variety of ages, shapes, sizes, and ethnicities—each demonstrating a wide range of emotions and shown from multiple angles. But wait, there’s more! Additional photos focus on people wearing hats and couples kissing, while illustrations show skull anatomy and facial musculature
Catrinka said An excellent book concept for artists, but photo quality needs improvement. The concept of this book has so much going for it and I give kudos to the author for compiling so many potentially helpful photos from all angles. I was really looking forward to the benefits it would offer me in sculpting, drawing, and painting.Unfortunately, though, the black-and-white photos aren't of particularly good quality and it's difficult to see some detail that would be helpful in many of the photos. There are 16 photos to each page which definitely limits their size. A great tool for any artist that likes portraits or works any kind of characters for any type of medium, cartoons, movies, etc. I have the digital and the paper version and I really like it but there is one important factor that makes me put it A great tool for any artist that likes portraits or works any kind of characters for any type of medium, cartoons, movies, etc. Juan Pablo Forero I have the digital and the paper version and I really like it but there is one important factor that makes me put it 4 starts. The paper version is very good, but SMALL photos (I usually have to scan the photo and print it again so I can work easily, that's why the 4 starts for the paper version).

Sean Harrington said I found this to be a great reference book for drawing.. I found this to be a great reference book for drawing. There are a wide variety of models of all ages and a good variety of facial types. I personally liked the mix of facial expressions, from the normal everyday to the more exaggerated emotions. One thing that I particularly liked was that the expressions were shown from multiple angles, including side views, which is uncommon in face reference sets. So, if you're looking for a good solid set of reference photos, I recommend t
