Here is my proportion chart plus notes I took from watching the lesson. Course is great so far
Ben Whitfield
This was fun! Here are my level 1 sketches. I feel like I did ok but did struggle with some of the top/bottom of the heads. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Off to watch the demos to see how I did.
Ben Whitfield
After watching the demo I noticed I struggled with convergence. Any suggestion on how to see that better when looking at a face?
Guille Ibanez
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.
Ben Whitfield
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.

My attempt at drawing this portrait while watching Stan draw his. Proportions were a little off on length and width but not to bad. My facial features definitely need to be practiced and improved. Overall happy with my version.
Ben Whitfield
My attempt at this portrait drawing following along with Stan. I was happy with the drawing but did get confused during the measuring portion and had to watch the video a few times. After overlaying my drawing over the image in Procreate I missed a little bit in the majority of areas. Not too bad but my measurements were a little off.
Ben Whitfield
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.
Ben Whitfield
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.
