Perspiration: facial features and expressions

Another area of artistic study that is often neglected are facial features and expressions. A great resource for the study of the human figure in general, but specifically the features of the face is The Human Figure
. For expressions I would go to The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression





















Also here are some tutorials by my good friend Stan Prokopenko

Lips

    The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expressions by Gary Faigin:
    While attending the Seattle Academy of Fine Art (Now the Gage Academy) where Gary Faigin is the director, I had the privilege of attending many of his lectures.
    Not only is Gary a superb artist, he is a terrific teacher, and his lectures are extraordinary. His knowledge of the human anatomy is unparalleled, he is extremely articulate, and conveys the information in a very practical manner - what it all means to the artist who is attempting to paint a convincing figure.
    His book is excellent, it has become an industry standard (and rightfully so,) and I highly recommend it.
