The Art of Expression
A portrait is more than a likeness—it’s the spark of emotion captured on paper. Learning to draw facial expressions means understanding the subtle curves of a smile, the depth of the eyes, and the character hidden in every detail. With the right techniques, you’ll not only draw a face, you’ll reveal a personality.
