added comment inBuilding Facial Features from Various Angles
In the video, you mentioned that after completing the construction phase, you should reduce the opacity to add details. However, when working traditionally with pencil and such, do you create your initial construction lightly and then apply darker details over it? Thank you.

Great question. I'm interested in knowing the answer to this as well.

My attempt at the assignment. Still struggling with understanding the build of the underside of the chin and contours of the next. Any suggestions on how to improve my drawings are appreciated.

Yeah finding the shape under the chin is challenging. Try defining the mandible instead of one long line from the bottom of the ear down to the chin. We have a more trapezoid shape under our chins instead of a square. I like where you're going with it! Keep drawing more, Ben!

I drew 12 heads for my assignment. I think I may have the theory correct but my proportions look quite inaccurate. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated from you @Michael Hampton or anyone else taking this course. Going to watch the critiques now so I can improve.

These were fun to do. Not sure how well I did with the construction of the shapes. I will attempt to do these again after watching the demo. Any feedback is appreciated.
These look like contour drawings more than shape-focused ones. Try using more construction lines, they'll make it easier to spot if different body parts connect nicely or not.

I enjoyed this lesson a lot. I am happy with my attempt but I don't have Photoshop to see how accurate I was. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

You did a great job with this project! The angles of the facial features line up very nicely. You may have drawn the hat too small because you were getting close to the edge in your sketchbook, so watch out for that.

These are my level 1 attempts. Tried to not overcomplicate the shapes but that was easier said than done. Sometimes gravitated to contours without thinking. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Are rhythms the same thing as gestures? Or are rhythms expanding on gestures?

Rhythm is a gestural idea.
Gesture is the overall flow of a subject. It’s the energy that connects the parts.
Rhythms are the ripples that echo throughout.
I recommend working from the largest rhythms to the smallest ones.
When done correctly, everything in the image will be working together for the greater gesture.
Asked for help
I drew the penguin and the gamer girl. I think both drawings are pretty good attempts for me but I did struggle with letting the lines flow which was the intention of the project. I find that I am very critical of every line that I draw so it makes it very challenging to let the lines I put down just flow.
