Great class for gaining a lot of useful info on what to look for when sketching facial expressions. In depth on both the eyes and mouth regions, along with how to practice sketching the expressions.

Great lesson on how to draw expressions! Loved the concept of the superhero mask and Batman mouth to help figure out what to focus on. As this was part two of how to draw faces, I do wish there was a little bit more coverage on how to draw the actual features.
