Breathe life into your portraiture with this inclusive guide to drawing the full range of human emotions, from fear to rage, grief to joy.

Written and illustrated by Oliver Sin, celebrated portrait artist, veteran instructor, and author of Drawing the Head for Artists, Facial Expressions for Artists:
