Much more fun is the pattern of expression in the comics: the depiction of emotions can be achieved either through the gestures of a body through the expression of a face.
often forget what the difference between drawing the face of a character and soul, that give their emotion.
L ' ANIMATION is the study of motion and emotion : You create a character that is convincing and that the public can love or hate.
To create a character it is therefore necessary to equip it with different expressions: sometimes one can add or change some features, as we have amply seen in the design of human expression.
Even comic characters, in designing the various expressions, are primarily interested in eyes and mouth. The eyes, the eyebrows together, have the key feature to communicate better than any other part of the body, a state of mind.
addition to the eyes, eyelids and eyebrows also help to determine a precise sense: it is enough arch in the right way and you'll get the expression desired.
The mouth is a detail of the face just as important, that communicates a specific meaning and it is the eye-mouth combination that makes it perfectly understandable state of mind of a comic book character.
Let us now, after the necessary theory to practice:
1. First, a angry faces
E 'for excellence of the eyelids and above the eyebrows, where the internal curvature comes down that we get the desired result. The mouth is half-open and grinding his teeth. The application of color is very useful to help to define this type of expression: in fact, if we color red the face of our character, it is apparent that this guy is angry.
2. In much the same way we proceed to the second example, on a FACE ALLEGRO
In this case the eyebrows turn their internal bend upward. Even the smiling lips have corners pointing upwards. There are dozens of expressions that same character can take ...
... in this sequence we are seeing the main, to which reference may be made to achieve further. images just seen now allow us to measure ourselves to draw other expressions:
fearful faces
To define the image of a character "scared" You must enter an expression generated by grainy eyelids, eyebrows stretched to the max: the whole sum for his sudden state of fear. mouth, then, defines the image with a likely scream of terror.
We must now make a stern face
In this case the eye, to communicate a stern expression, must have eyes like this, eyebrows and lips with this configuration. And now here is the image of a character Permal represented by this cute little dog:
The touchy, by its nature, has a particular physiognomy, ie a certain type eye, mouth and nose. For expression SURPRISE the procedure is similar:
This character expression takes surprise thanks to a certain type of eye that is wide open, eyebrows, eyelids following the hoops (seem locked in a position of paralysis), the mouth is half open, as if it were left without words. Let's see how you draw a character Weeping :'s face being that of a man very sad. Tears make the image clear.
I have explained the expression far more applicants, those who undertake the often comic artist. 's also interesting to say:
1. the effect of changes of expression can be effectively increased, if we resort to appropriate deformation of the body or parts of it: a sudden impulse, for example, is increased by an elongation, while a barely contained anger, exaggerated by a crushing ;
2. each facial expression is accompanied by a relative and complementary movement of the body, arms and especially hands. This further helps to reveal a character's mood and to make the reader participate in a balloon.
Exaggeration and gestures, however, require further study part: I will then examine them in more detail later.
EXERCISE: Stand in front of a mirror and analyze all the expressions that you are capable, from the cheerful to the more sad. So trying to establish the characteristics of each of them, cataloging them according to the position of the eyes, eyelids, eyebrows and lips.
