I didn't see the downloads until just a few minutes ago. I followed the visual style and did some measuring. Although, to be honest I struggle with the measuring. By struggling I mean I seem to take an inordinate amount of time to measure and when I think I have it, I measure again and come to realize that nope, my proportions are incorrect. I'll try it again with the newly downloaded portraits provided. In the meantime, here is what I managed by doing the first 3 videos of the visual style. I know it is still not accurate, but would like to hear some feedback as to what I need to improve. Yes I know I added features (like the mouth and the eyes) when that's not part of the first 3 videos.

This was definitely a fun project. Had to keep reminding myself not to copy ,but study and invent instead.

I found it quite hard to find reliable measurements. Looking at the overlay, my drawing is not that far off, except maybe for the collar. For some reason, I feel there’s still no likeness in the drawing. Not sure if that’s due to the linear drawing and missing shading or if the small deviations are enough to throw it off.

Ok, that was fun and tricky! Got carried away with lines of the snail shell... Pretty happy with how the boots came out though
