Yarp, here's an Expression Tutorial for all of you guys, I hope it helps some!
---------- ✯ [ REFERENCES AND VIDEOS FOR YOU TO LOOK AT! ]
Here are some links I think that will be useful for you to use whilst learning about the world of Expressions.
Interactive Human Face Anatomy for Expressions ^Wonderful. Will help you find what muscles help whatever expression on the face, and help you see how it moves and where wrinkles will show. Credit goes to ~rubymight for finding this magnificent thing
Ghost in the Stalls- A Youtube video ^Hand motions/ exaggeration/ Just story telling and acting out also this is a hilarious story you should watch it
!!! SPOILER ALERTS FOR HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON !!!! Scenes from HTTYD ^ Lots and lots of expression used, watch hand motions and observe how the faces scrunch up into expressions, all movement counts!
Thank you! I know a guy in my animation class you did anime facial expressions when we were doing a facial expression sheet for our characters. The whole point of the freaking thing was to learn acting with animation!
The course I did with him was not specifically targeted towards character animation, but it was part of the overall course. We got a few acting lessons, but I think he decided animation wasn't gonna be his thing.I think he's more interested in the more technical side of animation nowadays.
And oh gosh ahah that happens, oh well, hopefully he learns the influence of acting on expression then?
Good job, though, really good!
Thanks for sharing.
