    I would say that on the face of Keira Knightley we also can see zygomatic major m. sometimes. For example here https://www.pinterest.ru/pin/58406126391749448/. Am I right? This is it?

    It’s not the first lecture on facial muscles that I watched. But it’s definitely the most detailed and explanatory. Plenty of work is done to gather all these knowledge together. Every. Little. Detail. So cool! Highly appreciated!

        Haha, yeah! A lot of cool stuff. I just can’t resist watching them one after another :). Love your “go into the deep” approach and these 3-4 hours lectures. From my perspective, it’s a gem.
