The shapes look very good, You could try to make the second darkest colour lighter, since it is more similar to the light zones than dark zones in the picture.

I drew 100 noses. I definitely got more comfortable with them as I went along. Shading is still not something I am competent in. Noses are tricky and I'll need to do much more work before I can get them down from all angles. All in all, this was good practice that should help when doing future face studies.
I once watched a video of nose anatomy, quite interesting and it helps understading how to "invent" a nose, would recommend it. But these look very good and varied :)

I picked a Chihuahua as my character, I picked one reference where the dog is shown in profile, and one where I better view of the head. Then sketch those, and then I tried to construct the head with simpler forms and some exaggeration. For the final sketch from imagination I tried to draw a similar pose as the reference but from a different angle. I tried to exaggerate the head size and bulging eyes, and give the dog a bit more character. This was a very fun exercise
They all look really good! Only one thing I think you can look a little bit more into is the placing of the legs, maybe look up dog anatomy on the internet. I think dog-shoulders end a little lower and the front legs should be a little closer to eachother. I think you used the reference really well for your drawing from imagination, but it always helps to analyse more references from different points of view to make sure you have a fully 3d image of it in your head :) Keep up the good work!

Hi! I'm Franca, in my directionless twenties trying to study biology by day and illustration at night :)
Don't make the mistake a lot of us did and give up on your art; it's really easy to do. I lost 20+ years because I always "had other things to do". good luck with your studies!

I'm attempting to do some figure drawing every day :) I'm having some trouble finding the right materials, if anyone has any recomendations regarding figure drawing.
