Getting Under Your Skin – Facial Muscles

This article introduces ten facial muscles around the forehead, eyes, and mouth that are of special interest to artists who draw people. The discussion focuses on the relevance of each muscle (or group of muscles) to artistic, rather than biophysical applications. In the final section, you can challenge yourself to draw each facial muscle (or group of muscles) on a photo of a face.
