Your approach is so soft and subtle, very beautiful and fun to watch it come together. I think maybe I got distracted a bit by some minor details I should not have been giving much attention to, particularly in the eyelid. I am having problems with the left eye and the shape of the mouth, I think the eye is too large and the mouth is maybe too large also, some of the shape is a bit off. I also notice the neck is too wide, I haven’t put as much time into that area as I have the face but I believe I can adjust most of these things as I go on to the next step to refine the shapes. I’ve never used charcoal on a pencil drawing before so it’s a new approach for me. Instead of willow charcoal I have a container of charcoal dust from when I sharpen my nitram sticks that I used instead though, just smeared some on with my fingers very lightly than made sure to wipe my hands so I don’t leave little prints everywhere.

Its a great bit of drawing. Do you want it to be a perfect representation of the photo? The level you are at it is going to be hard to find people to fault you.
Ben Kindergarten
They are good drawings. Can you use your knowledge in everyday drawing? Also do you know how the community works here. I would like to meet people but I find it difficult. Instergram is much easier to see what people are doing.

I think you can follow people whom you like, then you can see their proceedings.

Thanks. But I lack the knowledge and confidence to use anatomy in everyday drawings. I am still learning, and maybe I can use anatomy some day in future.
Ben Kindergarten
They are good. Its a question of taste. Do you want to be more natural? these look like a super hero.

Hi there ! I’ve been following this lesson a couple of weeks ago. After trying different thumbnails, here is the final sketch, with ink. I didn’t actually pushed it further. Any advice to help me improve on this ? Thanks 😃
Ben Kindergarten
Its good. You are going to have trouble finding people who are able to give good advice at that level.

Is there a way we can find each other on the site. I see a lot of people just dropping an image and I would like to find people and build relationships. Its a bit to instant at the moment. I am new here.

Drawing that I am happy with. Charcoal of one of the children in work.
