Your assignment here is to download the provided assignment, and mirror the images provided.

So much of drawing is keeping it intuitive and methodical. This particular exercise is trying to get you guys to learn about comparative measurement. Once you're able to guarantee a shape is in the right spot every time, you'll easily be able to draw anything from observation. Once you get everything in its proper place, adding everything else is just a walk in the park. 

This whole part of the course is deceptively simple, don't over complicate it and try not to get frustrated. Good luck!

Pencil on tracing paper, put over the copy. The cheek became too smudgy and I kept seeing things that could be better. Great exercise!

Got this assignment completed. Certainly a fun exercise to come up with creative ways to solve the problem. Definitely not as easy as it looks.

Excellent job. You match the rendering very well. Just a little off on your width of the jaw

Here is my mirror assignment. Any feedback would be appreciated! Fyi, the paper folded accidentally, so it looks like a dark streak on his eye/forehead.
Morgan Weistling

Hello! Learning a lot already and looking forwards to keep digging into the course. Not sure how far we should take the head, so just tried mapping the shadows
Morgan Weistling
I like you mapping here.

Tried desperately to not get drawn into shading and trying to make “a pretty picture”. 😅. This was very hard and took forever. Very good exercise.
Morgan Weistling
Good job! You’re still off on some of the measurements like the top of the ear. Little things like that actually do make a difference.

@Morgan Weistling Hi Morgan, loved the assignment; thanks for setting it up. I found it more tricky than I thought in the first place and it was a lot of fun to puzzle about it.
Morgan Weistling
A good job and I think you get the idea for how to measure and judge. It’s not perfect, but you did good.
