All artists are tired of persuading their nearest and dearest to look sad...look glad...look mad...madder...no, even madder...okay, hold it. For those artists (and their long-suffering friends), here is the best book ever. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS includes more than 3,500 photographs of fifty faces, men and women of a variety of ages, shapes, sizes, and ethnicities, each demonstrating a wide range of emotions and shown from multiple angles. Who can use this book? Oh, only every artist on the planet, including art students, illustrators, fine artists, animators, story boarders, and comic-book artists. But wait, there's more! Additional photos focus on people wearing hats and couples kissing. while illustrations show skull anatomy and facial musculature. Still not enough? How about a one-of-a-kind series of photos of lips pronouncing the phonemes used in human speech? Animators will swoon--and artists will show a range of facial expressions from happy to happiest to ecstatic.

I found this pretty helpful, heaps of differernt faces and facials, including kissing from differnt angles, and headgear... but I also found that some angles I wanted were never shown. But I guess all the main ones are in there,

This book is filled with various facial expressions from both male and female, from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and ages.
Not only is this book a valuable resource to animators, but also to any artist!
Needless to say it is no brainer that I use this book as a reference when making comic pages for realistic facial expressions. I have never once regretted purchasing it. I just wished I stumbled upon Fishpond.com.au earlier to get a great price.
