So many micro details go into a blink. It’s easy to miss them. Here’s a slow motion (0.1x and 0.2x speed), multi-angle blink reference with color breaks, and facial landmark guides to help y’all see the details more clearly. #animation #drawing #3Danim

For the first time in years, I’m hosting a FACS & facial anatomy lecture for individuals (not just studios!). If you want to access the content I’ve shared with Netflix, Meta, EA, Epic, Blizzard, etc. on FACS shapes, underlying facial anatomy, anatomical variation: Dec. 28, 2024!
