This is especially easy to see in the world of comics and cartoons. The main purpose of a comic was to grab the reader’s attention with larger-than-life drama. The stories and characters were big and bold. Comics and cartoons have progressed into areas of sophistication and subtlety today, but they are still all about expression and telling a story. All comics have characters, and all characters have expressions. A compelling story is told with a range of emotions. The characters are more than just happy, sad or angry. They can be ecstatic, depressed or full of rage. If you truly want to create characters that are realistic, three-dimensional and engaging, you have to start delving into the infinite number of complex expressions we possess. Why? Because the human experience is deep. We’ll look at many different emotions to explore that human experience. Faces are made up of many shapes that change with each expression. Cartoons frequently take these main aspects of the face and exaggerate them to show more expression. Caricatures are a perfect example of exaggerated features. That’s what makes drawing them so much fun! You’ll learn how to focus in on the standout pieces of the face, such as the eyes, nose or lips. Then these lessons can be applied to explore various expressions. Practicing caricatures of real people will help stretch your imagination and ability to create new characters. By the end of the book, you’ll know how to draw cartoon faces, expressions and how to put it all together to create a story.
