Hi! Something that can help with accuracy in placement is to align elements with vertical/horizontal line measurements on your reference. E.g. the green line reveals that the tip of the hat, start of the nose bridge, and tip of the beard all align on the vertical. This can help you assess where to place key elements or correct as you go along your drawing. Hope this helps :)

I think using constructions lines at the begining can help you a lot. For example, a center line in your drawing would have made wonders in your drawing. It helps you place things a bit more accurately. For example, it would have helped you place the nose, the mouth and the chin at the right angle and placement in relation to one another. In your drawing, the chin and mouth are way to the left in relation to the eyes and nose. Construction lines can also help to place the angle of the eyes in the same place. Hope this helps, mate!

Hey I’m doing great! I just got back from vacation a couple days ago and haven’t done much drawing the last couple weeks. I thought I would have more time to draw, but I just wanted to enjoy the time I had with my family. I did some sketches here and there, but nothing worth posting. Thank you for checking in though! It really means a lot! Hope you’re doing well too!

You need to follow what you are learning in the drawing fundamentals class, and use simple shapes. You are trying too hard to draw hands, instead, draw simple shapes, it's so much easier.

I haven't gone through the course, so I don't know the assignment, but the biggest thing I'd say is to look for the big 2d shapes. Try to picture the subject as a very simple shape, instead of trying to draw the complexity. This allows you to establish basic proportions, such as the legs, which on yours have gotten very wide. This happens because there is so much detail, and we start focusing on the curves of each leg instead of the overall shape of the four legs as a whole. It's tricky in perspective, where the body is foreshortened. You can see I did the same mistake on my version, where I made the back legs a bit too far away, as if we're looking at the subject more from the side.

Yeah, awesome!!!👏👏👏I think this is the best drawing I've seen you do so far! I hope the accuracy tips helped :) - You tend to make proportions too wide, same thing in the portraits you've posted previously, so keep an extra eye on that. - Try to think more about volumes in your next drawing (this will be talked about further down the course, so I might be getting ahead of myself XD). When you're drawing, think like you're building a sculpture; the shell is a ball of clay, the core of the body a cylindrical clay sausage, and the wider part of the body a flattened piece of clay. This might help three dimensional thinking. Keep it up! 😎

Thank you very much :)
