Anatomy of Facial Expression

Express emotions in creativity
With our second book, we are redefining the anatomy of the human face, often the most difficult area of human anatomy to understand. It is a book for art professionals, nonverbal communication specialists, and others who are interested in studying physiology, anatomy, and the form of the face.

Visual and understandable anatomy books
Real emotions are almost impossible to fake. That is why we need to learn the nuances that differentiate fake and genuine emotions. And to know it, you have to understand not only the anatomy which creates the movement, but you have to have the tools and language with whom you can describe the change.

... For artists, the essential part is how it looks ...

The book includes 3D renders of facial muscles overlaid onto photographs, photogrammetry scans, not only on neutral but also expressed faces. The book contains pictures of actual people, the 3D skull structures.

All the muscle groups are carefully differentiated from one another and labeled. The images and text also explain how muscles work and how they affect the surface forms of the face.

What you will learn:
Detailed information about facial muscles anatomy and physiology.
How facial muscles function and affect the shape of the face.
Main gender, age, and ethnicity differences.
How bony structures related to the soft tissue, main landmarks of the face.
Facial fat compartments, connective tissue.
The topography of the face and skull.

Those of you that have also studied Nonverbal communication and FACS (Facial Action Coding System by Paul Ekman) may find this book very useful. The book has a lot of visual materials and lists the designated FACS codes quickly.
