14. Smile


This one was fun to do, but tricky because of the hands - I used this reference photograph as well as squinting at my own hands and it took quite a few tries! I'm very happy with how it turned out though! I read somewhere when I was much younger that you only use 17 muscles in your face when you smile compared to 30 or 40 something when you frown, which I suppose is one circumstance when not trying hard is a virtue! On the other hand, if you try to literally "turn that frown upside-down" with your mouth, you end up with a full-face work out and an expression like you just swallowed a cat and were then told you won the lottery. I know, I just tried it!
