Hi folks! This is the first of two parts of this tutorial on how to draw expressions. I tried to explain the concepts in a simple way, I hope they came across clearly.

In this first part I'm explaining how to draw simple facial expressions like Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Anger, Boredom and Surprise and I will show you with a trick on how to simplify complex emotions.
In the next part I will analize some amazing artists' work, I will show you where to find the best references and I will give you some exercises you can do to improve your expressions.

If you have any feedback I would love to hear it in the comment section, thank you for watching!
