This was a tough one for me! Many revisions here, but learned a ton. Next time, I'll draw it larger to make the details a bit easier to focus on.

247th Day of Proko and counting. I thought it would be interesting to try to do the 100 head challenge in about two hours. Here it is--four 25 one minute sketch sessions. I took a few minutes break between each 25. It wasn't easy to maintain that intense focus for that long, but at least I can say I did it once. I think I'm going to be dreaming about portrait drawing tonight.

Pose 18. Started with a 10 min study of the pose, got up a few times to strike the pose myself which really helped when drawing it from memory. The memory manikin got a little wonky, but the exaggeration made it feel like he saw something shiny on the ground that caught his attention.

A few highlights from the Rockwell exhibit. Seeing the charcoal comps next to the finished pieces was amazing. Loved seeing the globs of impasto used on The Critic's palette and some of the various changes he made to illustrations in the process, such as seeing the original jawline under the chin of the third child in "No Swimming" before he decided to add some weight to the silhouette.

I really tried to pay attention to the details here. It's very challenging emulating the sheer breadth of line quality/type with graphite, but I did my best. I'd love to try charcoal one day. I watched this video then skipped ahead to watch Jeff Watts' line weight video, then did this. I think that was a good order because his talk inspired me to pay even closer attention to details as best I could. I'll definitely be doing this skull again, and as Stan said, I'll try to take the lessons learned into future drawings.

Studied the art of Claire Wendling. Any advice would be much appreciated.
