Hey everyone,

Have a look at these great videos from animator Ugur Yetiskin.
He's made little videos covering a lot of great tips on facial animation that I've found super useful to remember.
So far he's made 5 videos where he talks about Blinks, the head direction, the eyelids, the eyes direction and the mouth corners. Enjoy!

Hey

A few months have passed so quickly, and nothing new in here :(

Not that nothing has been happening, but I've been a little lazy. I'll try to stay focused this time and do my best to keep the blog alive
