Facial Structure

In order to be able to reproduce a head in 3D accurately I thought I would start by looking at the structure of muscles that make up the face. This way I can understand how the face is built up and will be better able to reproduce it in a realistic way.

Here's a quick diagram of the muscles that make up the face.

The facial muscle structure is very important to consider when creating topology for a model head. It is also important to understand the muscles in the face for building up the actual model.
