Why drawing faces feels difficult
You can understand anatomy, draw each facial feature, and still end up with a character that doesnβt quite feel alive.
The face might be technically correct, but the expression feels stiff, generic, or simply doesnβt communicate what you intended.
Often, the problem isnβt talent. Itβs understanding how everything works together.
Without a clear foundation in head construction, facial features, and expression, itβs easy to start guessing or adding more detail in an attempt to fix the drawing.
But expressive faces arenβt about adding more detail.
Theyβre about understanding the structure beneath the drawing and how small changes in the features can completely change what a character is communicating.
Once you understand those relationships, you can approach faces with more clarity and create characters that feel expressive, believable, and alive.
Hi, my name is Alan!
I am a Canadian-based character designer and educator with over 20 years of experience helping bring animated stories to life. My career has taken me to studios such as Disney, Netflix, Warner Bros., Cartoon Network, and Sony Animation, where I have worked across the entire character design pipeline, from early concept exploration to model sheets, turnarounds, and expressive posing.
Throughout my time in the industry, I have learned from an incredible range of directors, artists, and designers, gaining practical techniques and workflows used in real production environments. I have also spent many years teaching character design and life drawing at the college level, helping artists develop strong fundamentals, clear design thinking, and the confidence to create characters that feel alive and authentic.
Today, my goal is to make that knowledge accessible to artists who want to grow both technically and creatively.
Worked with leading animation studios including
Imagine Drawing Faces With Clarity
Imagine sitting down to draw and understanding the structure of the head before adding details.
Instead of guessing, you understand how the construction, features, and expression work together.
Small adjustments begin to make sense. A change in the eyes, brows, or mouth can completely shift what your character is communicating.
In this course, youβll learn how to build faces and expressions step by step, so your characters feel more natural, expressive, and alive.
Over time, drawing faces becomes something you can approach with more clarity and confidence.
By the End of This Course, Youβll Be Able To
Construct the Head With Confidence
Learn how to simplify the head into clear forms and build a strong foundation before adding individual facial features and expression.
Understand Facial Features
Develop a clearer understanding of how individual facial features are constructed and how they work together as part of the character.
Create Expressive Characters
Bring structure and expression together to create faces that communicate emotion, personality, and intention while still feeling natural and believable.
Course Content
This course is organized into three main parts: Head Anatomy & Construction, Facial Features, and Expressions, plus a bonus section with slower, more detailed drawing demonstrations.
Across more than 8 hours of lessons and demonstrations, Iβll guide you from understanding the structure of the head to creating faces that communicate emotion, personality, and intention.
Each part builds on the one before it, giving you a clear, step-by-step approach you can apply to your own character drawings.
What Youβll Learn Inside the Courses
Β Part 1: Head Anatomy & ConstructionΒ
Weβll start by looking at the structure beneath the drawing. Iβll show you how I simplify and construct the head, giving you a foundation you can use across different characters, angles, and expressions.
Β Part 2: Facial FeaturesΒ
Next, weβll take a closer look at the individual features of the face and how I approach drawing them. Youβll develop a better understanding of their structure and how they work together as part of the character.
Β Part 3: ExpressionsΒ
This is where we bring everything together. Weβll explore how changes in the face communicate emotion, personality, and intention, and how to push expressions while keeping the character clear and believable.
