Part of our assignment this week was to find two photos where you find the face to be communicating a clear emotion. We then had to recreate the pose using Bishop, looking for areas to exaggerate and/or simplify. Here are the results:

I spent a lot longer than I thought I would creating this first expression, mainly because the mouth controls aren’t quite as flexible as the old guy’s face :)

I love this photo. Every time I look at it, it makes me smile. This guy is a legend! Recreating this expression didn’t take nearly as long as the first one, but it was great fun to do. Most of the time was spent sculpting the shape of the eyelids (walking a fine line between getting close to the reference and breaking the rig) and the shape of the mouth. The negative values on cheeks’ “puff” attribute came in handy here!

Hope you like them. As always, questions, comments or suggestions are welcomed/encouraged!
