Key Concept - The two key facial cues for recognizing a frown are the steep angle and lowered position of the inner eyebrows. |
What is the FROWN Threshold? Figures 1 & 2: The face transforms from neutral to angry when the inner eyebrows lower significantly at a pronounced angle. Frowns are a key pose of animated characters, and appear at some point in virtually every feature film, when anger or irritation is expressed. It’s worthwhile to examine the two key elements that make the human frown happen: the position of the eyebrow, and the angle of the upper edge of the inner brow. If either is not playing its required role, the frown vaporizes, and the effect of annoyance or anger (or concentration) vanishes.

Facial expressions are not easy to draw. If you are trying to draw them for something, then this blog can help. I was a struggling artist too, but after reading the tips that this guy gives, I was able to go and expand my art. I really learned a lot from him, and he does it for free too. You can support him by donating, but that is all that there is to it, I love that it is the case.

A fire watch security guard is not just a simple security guard. In fact, they are always on double duty. Mainly they serve as security personnel but are also responsible for protecting people from unwanted fires.
