A lot of personality can be displayed in the subtle change sin facial expression, If i want to mimic them properly a firm grasp of what it takes to display an emotion properly is probably advised. I started my session (which turned out to be much longer today than previous sessions) with trying to copy pictures of people and then assess what it was that made them display the emotion they had.
These were the first two I produced but I was disatisfied that I wasn't capturing the subtlety of the expressions and felt this was probably down to a lack of proper anatomy and understanding of the structure of the face. So I started to look at muscle structures, again copying images but after asking for feedback from one of my coursemates it became clear that the bone structure was my real downfall. From then on I've been watching video lectures on the bone structure of the skull in pretty intense detail and while i probably won't remember the exact names of each of the sections described I'm much more likely to remember their structure after being made more aware of them.
