You can never have enough anatomy references. I found this on the net and though I have not played with it much it looks promising.~Gary

Very interesting site, Gary.

Still the most handy and useful tool for studying facial expressions remains ... A MIRROR .

Thanks Gary, nice site. I'm wondering if it could be useful to match up a face with a figure and use it as a guide for shadowing and highlights or do you think that the light is coming a little to straight on?

John, I do not see why not. It will at least give you an idea where and what muscles to shade to help achieve the expression.~Gary

Excellent site Gary. I think the most beneficial part is just playing with the muscle groups to see how the react. I'm not always able to 'tell' my facial muscles to act as I want them to in a mirror, or I may just not be aware of what muscles to move. This is a great learning tool.

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be about using a mirror :lol:

Sweet monitor shot Alex - go Mac, go Firefox!

Hey Gary...that's a very ingenious programme to have available on the web.
I'm sure it'll come in useful.

All the best...Roy.

So...am I the only one who found himself making faces back at the monitor?

Very interesting site, Gary. Thanks for letting us in on it.

I continue to marvel at what is available for free on the internet. Five years ago, you would have paid hundreds of dollars for a program with half the functionality. A-mazing.

Thanks for the link. My favourite book an the subject is "The artist's complete guide to facial expressions" by Gary Faigin and this is a great addition. Especially since this also shows muscles and skull making it easier to understand how it works together.

Fagin's book is a great resource on the subject and this site supplements it well.~Gary

There are "treausres" to be found. A lot can be found by visiting other miniature or modelling related site. I would say my favorite internet tool is Google. I've found so much by searching, with a lot of stuff being found by accident.~Gary
