The only comprehensive visual reference of children’s and teens’ faces and emotions * Inspiration and reference for artists everywhere * More than 2,500 pictures, plus a phoneme gallery and age progressions * Follow-up to Facial Expressions--more than 25,000 sold! Babies are so unpredictable. You put them down in one place, you never know if they’ll be there when you come back. And don’t even get us started on kids and teens. Artists have it particularly rough with volatile young people, because their facial expressions are just as fleeting. Happy one minute, sad the next. Puzzled for a second, then astounded. Facial Expressions Babies to Teens solves the artists’ problems with a dazzling array of more than 2,500 photographs of fifty babies, kids, and teens demonstrating every human emotion through facial expression. Artists, animators, cartoonists--everyone who needs to capture any look from babyhood to age 19 must have a copy of this fascinating reference. With extra sections on anatomy, hats, and close-ups of phonemes, plus a remarkable age-progression gallery, Facial Expressions Babies to Teens is the only book an artist can really depend on. And we promise it will stay right where you put it, every time.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
good but... -
It is a good book and has merit as an artists tool however it is the same thing you get from other books that are supposed to be "facial expressions" which fall short.The problem is you can't fake expressions of grief or pain or even a smile. The expressions become a little vague and some rather confused. Oh well until something better comes this is as good as any.

Maybe 3-1/2 stars. I actually prefer color photos on white paper, but this black & white reference is reasonably well done.
It's very similar to Simon's other book Facial Expressions: A Visual Reference for Artists, except with an age range of 3 weeks(!) to teens about 19. Mid to dark backgrounds on grey paper is really not my thing, but it's the actual expressions that count.
As with his other book, many of these expressions are extremely forced and odd, but it's great to see so many angles, ethnicities, genders and ages represented. There aren't many books like this right now. It's also somewhat of a personal book, in that the author's family is represented in pictures depicting their entire lives, from earliest photos til now, in order to show general age progression in people. A number of pictures are slightly blurry, but most pics in this book are crystal clear (or close to it). There's also 10 pages of kids wearing different styles of hats & headgear, to make this a more well-rounded presentation.
Maybe this would be a better book with more average facial expressions. Maybe color would be better, but black & white keeps this cost-effective. I'd still get Simon's photo reference guides while they're still in print. Many expressions books like this tend to disappear after a while. (Or at least they used to...).
This is a good book for artist. -
A ton of good photos to work from here. As always you may never find just the right photo to work from but with this many photos in one book you will come much closer to finding what your looking for.
I could cry about the printing being to dark or wine about some of the grainy pics but hay for this price and not having to put up with a real brat and there over baring mother this is worth it (thats a joke honey).
I have drawn a bunch of kids from life and most kind of like it but to get anyone to hold those cool odd faces is not being realistic.
I have used the other face book more then you might think and sure hope to use this one as much.
This book just makes my giggle every time I pick it up with the goofy faces these kids come up with.
When I can't work from life a book like this is just what I need.
Mixed Emotions -
I own both Facial Expression books by Mr. Simon and for such a popular series you'd think they'd invest in a better photographer or a better camera. A lot of the photos, especially in this edition are very blurry and grainy. Though you don't need super well-taken photos to capture someone's facial expression it would have been nice if they would have upped the quality in this edition. I imagine it is difficult to direct children, but a lot of the expressions used were very similar too. This version has about the same amount of photos as the last, but they are a bit larger. I believe they made this change because one page after each person captured wasn't reserved for an illustration. This was a welcome change for me because a lot of the artists used in the previous book did sub-par work and some only re-drew the photograph of the person without applying the facial expression to something less obvious like an object or a fictional character. Overall, my satisfaction with this book is mixed. The first edition was far better because of the image quality, but it is nice to have references of children's expressions. Having little books to compare these 2 to, I had to give this 3 stars.
