Sketchbook drawings

I want to share some of my drawings. Feel free to critique or share your thoughts. I’ve been stagnant for a while now, so I’m hoping that this change will help me improve.

I’m back and focusing on drawing the head this week using Stephen Michael Hampton’s approach would love some feedback
David Sánchez
Michael Hampton is a really good source! My recommendation would be to draw heads in bigger sizes, mr Hampton's aproach uses a lot of construction and geometrical detail, so in order to get the most out of this exercise it might be a good idea to practice with a bigger size. If you are working on an A4 piece of paper (regular size), draw the head in a size so you have 4 to 6 heads per page, that would give you more space for details to represent the construction. The basic construction that you got looks about right, the proportion and later details will start to look better the more you practice. Good work and keep practicing!

Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. I think they helped a lot.

Hey nice job on keeping a sketchbook. My suggestion would be to draw a little larger and to practice your figures as structural drawings showing perspective. Then you can start adding details. Also, when drawing the head from a profile, instead of a circle, it should be more of an egg shape. I did some sketches from some of your drawings to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)

I think the only way to push through stagnation is to keep going. Draw what you think is cool and don't stop. You look like you're having fun with these, keep it up :)
