added comment inProject - Portraits in Perspective
Asked for help
Level two project. I picked the two faces I hated the most, or rather the ones I had the most trouble with, while completing the level 1 assignment. I tried to really nail the proportions and placement of the features, so much so that I feel like I put the perspective boxes on the back burner - but they look ok! Onward.

Level 1, basic box construction with some features bc I have no self control. It was difficult to picture the box around the whole cranium, I kept chopping off the top of the skull in an attempt to account for hair (bald man was nice to draw) and I kept squishing the boxes vertically. It was a helpful exercise though, and now I see a box around everyone’s head when I look at them.

will someone help me figure out what I’ve done wrong with these books? It looks like they’re just floating on top of each other, instead of following Newtonian physics. 🤡

It looks like the balance would be off, maybe try moving each book more in towards the center of the stack. Pay attention to where the side plane of the book touches the top plane of the one below it. I would also shrink the size of the top book (optional, normally the largest book wouldn't be on the top of the stack). I tried to illustrate what I'm talking about, hope that it makes sense 😂 Your perspective lines look fine to me.

I could keep going with drawing a million of these, but I need a grownup to give me some critique/feedback 😭🙏
This was so fun!!!! Also so humbling lol. But I tried using charcoal (which I absolutely hate tactile-wise, it’s so scratchy, like nails on a chalkboard) and the overhand grip. I am super not good at the overhand grip, but I’m gonna keep practicing and improve!

Nice job with these! New materials and techniques always take some time to adjust to. Remember to focus on connecting the longest lasting lines through the figure. You really started to connect these lasting lines on your 4th page. Ignoring the contours and drawing through them with a rhythm will connect the whole body with simple C, S curves and straights. You can start to exaggerate these rhythms to further tell the story of what’s happening in the pose, and then build on top of them like in the forearm, or heel. Keep up the good work!
They look great!
There's a huge difference in quality with charcoal. I hate General's pencils for the same reason, but Conte a Paris are super smooth and pleasant to draw with.

these were so much fun. I should have used more straights, but they’re such squishy creatures. I had some trouble with the level two drawings (in black graphite) but I enjoyed inventing the poses. I can see why people thought these lil buds look like mermaids.

Really nice shapes and very cute seals!

I think I’m much better at eyeballing than measuring. It was much more enjoyable, in any case. As always, any thoughts or critique would be appreciated. 🩷
