The most difficult part for me is the nose. I still do not fully understand how to indicate its shape and forms.

I know it's difficult. Try thinking of it like you're shading the bottom of the cylinder. ^^

Sorry, what is step 10? I rewatched it several times and still can't grasp it🥲

The eye.

Hi everyone, I attempted one of the photos from the critique, trying to get it closer to the reference. It was a struggle to make the ellipse equatorial without warping it. Also used my best guesses to place the jaw and underplane ...But I'm still lost as ever about where exactly the jaw is in relation to the cranial mass. I'm always asking, how close should the jaw be to that circle? A little further down? Or actually inside the circle? Hope intuition for placement improves with practice 😭
The end result didn't quite match the original so I moved up the chine like in the third photo. Any advice or critique would be appreciated. Thanks :)
Hi! The jaw should be about 1/3 of the head. If you draw a cranial mass and divide it in two to find the brow level, adding one more part will help you locate the jawline. I recommend rewatching the first video of this course, where Michael explains really good how to find the jawline. Later in that video, when he discusses perspective, he draws a head that has a tilt angle very close to the photo you used as a reference. Maybe that would help.
Also it seems there might be a misunderstanding about the purpose of the gesture of the cranial mass, the "circle." I had similar difficulties in the past. During the construction stage, the cranial mass isn't actually the head, as the head is not a sphere. The cranial mass is a form that suggests where the head should be. At this stage, it’s best not to attach ears, eyes, and nose to it, as this can prevent you from seeing it as a form (or blueprint) that you will later use to sculpt the features by adding and subtracting new forms.

Just started the course, so I'm a lil late. Gonna do next assignment on time!

be sure to watch the critique video as well! It'll help demystify drawing from under the chin! These are looking good, meeho!

I hope I’m not very late to the course. Will Michael Hampton review the future assignments of this course?

The second assignment video is supposed to come out tomorrow so if you submit your work to that video's assignment page before the critiques are filmed you'll have a chance to be in the video critique!
