Great reference...BUT March 31, 2007
This book is great for reference....
I Did'nt give the book 5 stars because. I would have liked it if each picture was labeled with the emotion/idea being expressed...
Other than that...i highly recomend this book...especially if you are or are learning to be a cartoonists/Caricature artist...
 Great Book! March 17, 2007
Wow! No need to pose family and friends for facial expressions.
This book is a great idea.
No more excuses, just find the mood (expression) you need and start drawing.
Thanks!
Awesome resource! February 23, 2007

What a great resource! There are so many different types of people and so many different views that I imagine I'll be busy sketching for long time. My only complaint is that the book should have been spiral bound so it could lay flat.
All n' all a good buy February 2, 2007

If you are having trouble understanding physiognomy this is the book for you. This books has multiple subjects viewed from not only the head on, profile, three quarters, and back view, but also technically dynamic angles and a range of expressions that range from the mundane to the sometimes strained/ laughable expresions. the "Facial Expression" book varies between male and female, young (21) and old (78), and someone who is portly vs. someone who is thin. My only qualm with this book, the reason why it's four stars instead of five, is in how it addresses race. Of the 48 participants I'd say roughly 8 are non-white, it's a guesstimate because the pictures are black and white, so some people people appear to be non-white when in actuallity they just have a tan or are red in the face. While you truly don't need people from different races to show the range of facial expressions it couldn't hurt. If they at least had a non-white or two in the +50 age range it wouldn't bother me so much, but they don't, and I believe that people from different races ages differently (some people might get more pronounced jowls, deeper wrinkles, sun spots, thinning out of hair, etc.)
Besides that it's a good buy.
No kids faces but its great so far! January 31, 2007
On recieving this book I have instantly used it as my reference material as a flash animator and designer. I needed a granny face and i just flipped to the back and found one! Although it is missing kids faces, it is a great book and Mark Simon has yet again supplied the industry with some more support and reference. Thank you!
