Following my previous post on facial expression studies, this time I focused on the area below the eyes—exploring how different expressions affect the muscles and fat pads in the lower half of the face. One thing I've realized through this process is: understanding the bones and muscles alone isn't enough. The subtle shifts in facial fat can add so much depth and life to an expression. In regular life drawing, it's often sufficient to grasp static structure. But I hope to gradually incorporate more emotional nuance into my work.
