Purpose & Principles Involved

The purpose of this exercise is to get you to begin thinking about how the character’s head works in relation to their features. The thought process must come through in the way you draw the expression.

The second purpose is to have you begin to understand that the character must stay “on model” even though their face might change radically, expression wise.

The principles involved here are all the same as the one’s that we’ve been dealing with all along to this point.
