Hi Guys, I started doing the head boxes, but got stuck on number three. I want to finish practicing all 19 before I watch the critiques. I have some practice drawing portraits, but I never put it in a 3D way like this project. I guess that is why I struggled so far, I have no idea what points to use as the sides. I made five attempts at number three so far, and they all turned out to be different, anyone willing to check my mistakes and help would be much appreciated! edit: I am particularly not sure if the bottom plane of the cube is visible in number three. I decided to add a couple block ins I did before, for the ones who are curious ;) (they are not related to this project, just to show what I can. Comparing it to how much I struggled with this project.)

im a digital artist with almost no understanding of fundamentals of art. considering how long ive been drawing despite lacking like all skill in traditional art, i thought, "what could possibly go wrong?" behold. my actual lack of skill when not making easy art on the computer tried it a few times as i figure out what i was doing wrong. but also proof that people who can make cool pretty stuff with a computer can have a completely different "skill level" when you give them a paper and pencil. to be fair to myself i do as of right now only have a crappy lead pencil. and i have practically NEVER done this before my main issue is my lines. i cant seem to figure out how to change my erratic and too dark line work, even if it shouldnt be that hard. i tried a few times since i know what to do, but habit is hard to break time to do this several more times with many different objects

If you overlap the images, the mistakes are clearly visible. Practice, practice, practice.

Level 2 attempt after watching the demo…not sure if I went too far with structure to detriment of gesture (?)

Here is my attempt at the simplification project for level 2. Please feel free to give feedback or critique what I can do better! :D

Not quite exact. But, I like it.

All week i've been exploring this by drawing more head shots. its a really fun form of problem solving. I am often asking myself, "Am i measuring enough? Should i measure more?" All in all though its very fun! I am loving drawing like this. I try to get one layin done a day.

Great video Stan! I've been practising block-ins more lately and this video helps a lot. I haven't tried to self criticize with any of these, but I will start doing that from now on.

Did another one of the Musketeer guy and I think I did better then my first attempt then I tried to do one of a different portrait all together and well I defiantly need more practice. This is easily the hardest project so far for me lol but any feedback would be great

This assignment really pushed me. I know my portrait isn’t entirely accurate, I could see some mistakes (such as the forehead being too short), but I wasn’t sure how to go back without messing up the other proportions. I guess it’s all part of the learning process. Feel free to critique or comment!
