I did not Want to see that
Well I was gone for longer than I initially planned on. I was kinda doing my own projects for a while, but in this time I also did level one and two for the torso boxes, but I kept forgetting to upload it. Honestly, I also was kinda procrastinating with the level 2 assignment for this project, since I had a lot of other things as well like japanese studying and just other things. Regardless, I am just gonna start right again tomorrow with the visual memory games and then onto the values section. As for this assignment, if there is anything strange or not right going on with it, letting me know is something I have a lot of gratitude for, I love any piece of criticism!

Your work is wonderful, what every you are doing is working BUT, If you are doing to many things, like me, then I try to do one thing for the class a day, just one small assignment that it is asking us to do,. You do not have to complete it, but complete 30 to 60 min of work on the sketch project, and then move to something else. I did not sketch for 30 years because of my service in the US Army. But after I retired, I decided, I wanted to get back into it, so I took a few simple on line courses to remember some basic skills. Just a few days ago, I added this course and try to sketch at least 1 hour a day. There are many distractions but most of the time, I can get t-2 hours in, and sometimes more. Some days are better, some days not so good. But, I am slowly moving forward. Good Luck!

Asked for help
Stan Prokopenko
Hey Basics students. I'm quite sick, probably flu, so the next lesson is a bit delayed. If you're looking for something to do, I would recommend researching some old master painters and illustrators and doing 3-value studies. I was going to announce it with the next lesson, but it'll be useful now, so please check out: https://proko.com/values It's essentially the gradient map tool in Photoshop but made much more convenient and some additional features. It's something I hacked together in a day so apologies if there are any bugs. I'll have my dev team remake it professionally later. Let me know your thoughts.

Being sick does suck, , I I saw this message yesterday, but wanted to finish lesson two and post it before I messaged you. There is enough on the site to keep the student busy, you should have a #2 person take over for the time you are out and you can check on him/her every hour :), to make sure they have not run off with the funds. Anyway get well, we will ALL be here, wait for you!

first attempt
John Edgeworth
If this is your first attempt before the video, then when you watch the video with the instructors help you will see, each and every step you will need to take, to shape the face, and the area's needed to shade. You will see a massive jump in your 2nd attempt as compared to the first.

Here are my level 1 one level 2 assignment for the project. I could have made these a lot cleaner, so I will keep taking that criticism into account each time I notice it. Overall, there is room for improvement, but I don't think I did horrible. if there is any criticism to be given, I'd love to know!
John Edgeworth
I thing your lines are spot on, if this is your first attempt, you should be on the right track each and every step.
John Edgeworth
Well, I have finished lesson two, and I like the way Mr. Proko explains and show things in his video's, I do hope he keeps it up. I will post my masterpiece and move on to the next lesson. I can use all the advise and help from my fellow student out ther, please chime-in, I am way to old to worry about hurt feeling and will take all critique with a large dose of salt.

Trying to finish up on the Human face and post it and also re-post the pear project in the correct area. Still very new to the site, and every thing in a challenge to do. I try to obey the rule to sketch every day during the week except one, so I missed yesterday, so six more day til the next off day.

Any sort of feedback would be appreciated. The shoe for just no reason was killing me, so I just ended up not doing the laces before I lose my mind. The slug was less stressful but for some reason it looks wrong.😑 edit: (I did this before watching the demo)
John Edgeworth
Hi, there, that is good work, I must admit, I do not have the courage to draw the object before i watch the video. I am working on the 2nd one, the human face, but I would like to post the pear but have not figured out how to do that yet, any hints?
