maybe a stupid question but I don't really know how to start with the ball. Is it under the ears? under the nose? or under the cheekbones? I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help me

Hey Marije! Starting with the ball is Step 1 in this process. I would re-watch "4 Steps to Draw the Head from Any Angle" earlier on in this course. The "ball" is the cranial mass.

Thank you, Michael Hampton! I was excited when proko announced your classes about construction. Im enthralled with your style ever since I picked up your book 4 years ago. There is a lot of beauty to the construction, and learning your process while hearing your mindset was highly beneficial! thank you for your time, Ill implement your feedback!

Unfortunately, I missed the deadline to submit my work for critique, but hopefully I can get some feedback still? Thank you so much Mr. Hampton for these detailed courses! They are one of the best head drawing lessons I've seen on this site. Looking forward to more courses you'll hopefully be teaching in the future!

Hey @Michael Hampton! Thank you so much for this course! I have a question regarding likeness and I'd really appreciate your input on it: When trying to "transfer" likeness, as in, studying a face but then trying to redraw that same model's face in a new pose, what are the most critical things to pay attention to? Obviously it's best to keep in mind everything but, are there specific areas or proportions that make or break likeness?
Michael Hampton
Hard question. I would pay attention to the overall shape of the face/jawline and then focus on the spacing between the eyes (distance) as well as more specific distance measurements between the features. What your describing is actually not a practice I've ever done so take this with a grain of salt. Sorry to not be more helpful.

Congrats to those who have finished the course. Can't wait to finish it myself once I complete my university assessments.
