Hey Stephen, I'm wondering if you have any advice on how you go about the direction of hatching as you block in the values and then proceed to shade? Is it a matter of becoming more familiar with the anatomy of the face as well as intuiting the forms on the model's face? I feel like whenever I shade I end up over-rendering and it doesn't flow properly, especially in the middle of the cheeks and forehead where forms are more subtle as they are facing the viewer. I am focusing on blocking in values and forms more lightly in the beginning which has been very helpful as I can be a bit heavy handed and move too quickly. This is a great course and I appreciate all the insights and advice throughout!

Good question, Filip. I have noticed that the photo here is from a slightly different perspective than I am drawing from. As far as the values/planes are concerned, I usually look to the highlight for contrast when establishing my values/planes. This gives me more room on the value scale to work with and generally results in darker half tones. In general I try to be pretty faithful to what I am seeing but I also accept that what I am seeing is an interpretation. It's editorialised, if you will.
