A good test of your art skills is to keep an individual’s unique features consistent as they contort their faces into a range of expressions. This is good training – make a set of drawings of a single person or character smiling, frowning, pouting, fretting or whatever else you like. The 25 Essential Expressions Challenge created by DeviantArt member Nancy Lorenz is a template that can help you get started. You can easily find examples of how other DA artists have responded to the challenge. The sheet below is my own attempt.
