Facial Expressions
Facial pose study focused on expressiveness, emotional appeal and clear character performance.
The process begins with the creation and analysis of key poses, which serve as the foundation for building clear and readable expressions. From these initial poses, selected facial features are pushed and exaggerated to strengthen the character's emotional communication and visual impact.
Particular attention is given to the overlap and interaction between the different elements involved in the performance, ensuring a cohesive relationship between body posture, eye direction, eyebrow movement and mouth shapes.
The study was carried out using the Mukuru Rig, developed by Ramón Arango, taking advantage of its advanced facial controls to explore a wide range of expressive possibilities and refine the character's emotional performance.
