JyonnyNovice - from Novice to Master!
Today's warmup. I'm always trying to find good ways to get better at expressions, currently I'm doing this 'cognitive drawing' approach (that's what Jason Brubaker calls it). Alex Negrea had it in a tutorial too. You draw from reference, in this case I put timer of 2 mins, then put away reference and your first drawing and redraw it from memory. Since the goal is expressions instead of head design I just put them on generic kind of cartoon heads to try and 'apply' them to something different. 

To do the process fully you would then draw it again from the same reference, then again from memory - as many times as you like (Negrea does it like 4 - 6 times in his video I think).

For these I just want to get mileage in drawing different expressions (so 2 min timer) but not let my brain be lazy and just draw without being mindful (hence the 'redraw'). And it's just a warmup so I move on after each redraw.

Would love to hear how others build up their expression drawing skills!
