from a distance.
When smiling or laughing, cheeks are pulled up and
out. The mouth sides are pulled backwards as well as
slightly upwards. This slight upper movement pushes
the upper eyelids and produces wrinkles around the
eyes. Also, the mouth seems to get closer to the nose.

86. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
When laughing, the jaw drops and the upper teeth
and gum appear. The upper lip appears to be
straight and the lower teeth are also exposed in a
big laugh.
For smiling, the lips push flat against each other. A
true smile is symmetrical. It forms evenly and
disappears gradually. It rarely takes more than a
couple of seconds. Also, it does not precede or lag
the idea of a happy situation in concern.

87. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

In sadness, the eyebrows are raised from the
inner sides and brought nearer. The cheek may
be pulled slightly upwards, the mouth ends
pulled downwards and the chin is raised.

Anger may not be good for health, but
it's good for movies.

nostrils dilate, the face reddens and veins
show in the head.

the jaw is clenched, or the mouth becomes
square to expose the clenched teeth, or is
open if talking.

90. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS
Fear
The eyebrows are raised, drawn together
and appear straight. The upper and lower
eyelids are raised. The mouth is opened
and pulled outwards.
The fear expression freezes the face and
usually lasts some time.

Whenever someone is surprised, his/her
eyebrows are raised up and arched, the

lips, preparing for screaming or yelling.
