As part of the Master Scientific Illustration program I wrote my graduation thesis on facial expression. To visualize the different movements the face can make, I used the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), which is a sort of library of separate possible facial movements, called Action Units (AU’s). The following illustrations show the main 27 AU’s of the list.
