I think my 7B pencil wasn't sharpened well enough and so I instead of a smooth value I got a bit of a melange pattern, but at least it's fairly uniform ;)

My paper is really rough, so I did the best I could. Fun assignment!

Yeiii! Finally. Thanks, Stan

When will the value & Edges lesson start? I'm eagerly looking forward to it......😘

Stan, thanks for sharing the critiques on Gestural Torso Boxes. I know we've covered cross contours but I have a question.

Thanks Stan, these are always very useful and fun to watch. I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks as ever for the critique @Stan Prokopenko! Yeah, after this course, Marshall’s perspective course, figure drawing fundamentals and the Marvel comics course, I will get on to that anatomy course….honestly, if it wasn’t for those pesky distractions (wife, kids, day job) I may have had a chance at becoming competent in the 10 year window oft quoted on Draftsmen Podcast 😂. Still, the kids appreciate my Pokémon drawing skills that have resulted from this drawing basics course…what other ambitions are more important than that !! ❤️

eyes too big. Face a little long. Hope it helps

Well, It's pretty much missing the anatomy. Because of that and a lack of form shadows across the back, it is pretty flat. Now, because you didn't post the reference, I can't give definitive answers, but I tried to give my best guess with my paint/draw over. I hope it helps :)

Not an expert, but the back looks very long.
