The head is tough to draw in certain angles, like in 19 and 22. But hopefully they read. Cheers!

Nice job! Did you get the additional ref photos directly from Satine btw?
Alberto Pardina
Followed along and did some quick studies of my own. Does #7 tend to read as him extending his jaw or could have I exaggerated it a bit more? Also #4 was giving me trouble so I added a box for reference to help with constructing under the neck.
Michael Hampton
Nicely done! Ya #7 is a get start. You'll build more context for the open jaw in later steps.
Alberto Pardina
Just a few poses that I was able to squeeze in today. Wanted to know if #4 read as her head looking down or if there was a way to make it look more believable that she is looking down. Thanks and looking forward to the future lessons.
Michael Hampton
Looking good! For #4 you could try foreshortening the jaw more or dropping the brow to ear ellipse further. Otherwise, I think it reads fine.

Hi Micheal I am confused on the landmarks of the pelvis, on the proportion video you showed the box being broken into 1/3s, placing the ASIS on the on the first 1/3 and the pubic line on the 2/3 line. However on here you show the ASIS on the top corner of the box and the pubic line lower/close to the bottom of the box. I wanted to know if there was a difference in placing these landmarks, is there a more accurate placement or is it personal preference?
Michael Hampton
Hey Alberto, the difference is really the translation of the stricter skeleton proportion chart into the practical stage of drawing it as volumes. I'm using the ASIS as the top of the box and pubic bone as the bottom as its all I'll see when looking at a figure. Ultimately though yes, its a matter of preference.

Tried out all three pears, used Otto Pencil 2h,hb, 2b, 4b and 6b for the darkest parts.

Household objects were definitely a challenge, trying my best to simplify, without going to much into details.

Asked for help
The twisting of the assignment was difficult for me as well. Had to look up some reference to see how it would look like in. The squash and stretch forms were fun to do!

I feel like my 3p perspective may be a bit skew, should I place the VP further apart?

Asked for help
Free hand was fun. 1 and 2 pt was a bit difficult to do in the beginning without a guide. But after practicing a few with a guide I gave it another go without one.

Egg sketches assignment
Carl de Jager
Good start, Alberto! You are clearly communicating the terminator, form light, form shadow and cast shadow. I’ve noticed that some of your cast shadow directions don’t follow the light direction. In your first egg, the position of your terminator suggests that the light is coming from slightly below the egg. In this case, the egg would not cast a shadow on the table at all. It might cast a shadow on a wall or the ceiling! I've moved things around a bit to show you a different configuration that would cast a shadow on the table.
