How to draw emotions from memory
I have to say that drawing emotions from memory is an advanced topic. To do so, you need to have good knowledge of several things, including constructive drawing and anatomy for artists. Drawing realistic portraits from memory is challenging because an artist has to know human head proportions, facial features alignments and angels and have sufficient skills of depicting those features in perspective. In addition, one should possess adequate knowledge of facial anatomy and know which muscles display emotions on a human face. I developed special exercises, which help Life Drawing Academy students memorize various emotions in portrait and depict them convincingly from memory.
