Moved onto this intermediate stage because I needed a little break from finalizing the first portrait. Still working on edges and shapes. Happy to hear any feedback.

You are not squinting for your values, or shadow patterns. Your shadows are too light and there is not enough contrast between light and shadow. Look the attached shot. Use rapid eye movement back and forth between your painting and the photo. Look at each part individually to check. Look at the nose in your painting then quickly look at the nose in the photo. back and forth. compare. train yourself to see where you are off and then fix it. Squint when you do this too.

Still working on the background as well as the rest, but I thought I’d share for any feedback. Really enjoying this class Morgan.

The approach is outside of my comfort zone, but compared to my usual approach, which is more overall structural I think I got the likeness sooner. Concentrating on shapes and truly seeing them is exhausting … but a good exhausting ;)
Morgan Weistling
Glad you are willing to try it. If you were exhausted you were doing it right.

Sorry i forgot to take a shot of the two value stage. I think I will continue to work on this half-tone stage and in the shadows afterwards. I was going to give up, but your encouragement motivated me to keep going. Thank you Morgan.

It’s getting there. Needs a little more to the back of the head. Compare with photo keep honing the drawing at all stages

I feel that the half tone chroma is too low on the second image. It seems like it diminishes a bit after a while on the canvas board. I’m getting a lot out of this course Morgan, thank you so much!

My colour mixing exercise. Ended up adjusting the average shadow to be less red.
Morgan Weistling
good on the light skin tones. Your shadow tones are perhaps too close in value. You could lighten the reflective light value
