I was moving to features way too fast. My thought was “if I can’t get likeness from observation with skulls/asaro head then why do I think that I can get likeness from a regular face? I’m in the block in phase. Is there any critique from this point?

From page 70 of Drawing the head and hands by Andrew Loomis? Can you spot the mistakes?
An update: I’m using vellum paper for practice. I place one sheet over the face and work in the ball and the proportions. Then I do it again with the rhythms. Next I’ve been looking at the complete drawing and trying again with a new sheet, using the traced sheet as reference.

Did a portrait exercise... I would love to get critical feedback from someone more experienced on what I need to improve. My drawing feels "off" somehow, but I'm having trouble seeing where the issue is - is it the accuracy of the block in? (I am trying to measure carefully maybe not doing as accurate a job as I need to be) Is it the value? Or the shape design? I'd love some feedback on what to focus on improving. Thank!
Try this again but only the basic construction of the ball and the lines. And then post it! Let’s see it! ❤️

My lips protrude a bit too much. Or something is wrong with… something.
I think the lips are positioned too far down the chin. Generally, the lips should be contained in the top half of the the bottom third of the face (see the example attached). Because the head is tilted slightly downwards, there will be foreshortening and the lips will appear slightly lower but its pushed too far in your drawing.
Another point I had (and this may just be the cigarette distorting the lips) is that the lips should be turning more with the head, to me the lips appear almost as if they were on a front facing head. Try visualizing the lips as muscles wrapping around the tooth cylinder, it really helps with orienting the lips and make them look properly anchored to the face.
Also please try taking clearer photos in future, a lot of the drawing is out of focus so we miss out on seeing all the details!

My lips protrude from the face too much! What marks or tone is causing this? Thank-You!!
