This is my progress from 2024-2025 drawing my self-portrait. Much of my practice came from Proko. Thank you!

I draw much better freehand. I found myself struggling to find a likeness through grids and rigorous measuring and I ended up overworking the sketch. I practice a lot of loose quick sketches with moving models for my line-of-work. It was a good exercise, but I prefer the more intuitive approach.
Next time I will start with a lighter background to provide more contrast.
Looking at this thumbnail version my grid looks off by a little and that middle third is taller than it should be. That measure twice principle probably would have helped.
