Art Verve Academy - Facial Features: Drawing the Mouth (Feb. 2018)

Discover a simplified approach with expert guidelines to the complex task of drawing human anatomy. Ideal for anyone interested in portraits or figure drawing! Our brains will extract relevant information for facial recognition principally from the eyes and secondly from the mouth.

The mouth is an essential feature for recognizing familiar faces. Subtle mouth movements are also crucial to perceive human emotion. We will study and practice drawing the human mouth from a detailed plaster cast and a live model. All drawing mediums are welcome!
