In this level 2 demo, I'll show you how to construct heads with accurate perspective and well defined 3D forms. I'll start by identifying the simple box of the head's orientation. This box serves as a map that guides us to align the smaller forms to the angles of the 3 axes, ensuring a more lifelike and dimensional portrait.

Here are my first few attempts of level 2. These are after watching the demo and before watching the critique.
these are hard but fun exercise to do. 😅
I was also listening to the draft men podcast drawing these and I learned in one of the episodes that it is OK to fail.

Portraits done after watching the demo I think I still need to keep focus on angles of the face as I think the second portrait is looking up more than it should be.

Somehow I like the thumbnail a bit better but I caught more details in the actual sketch

Here are my sketches from Stan's demo. I learned to be more accurate with my initial box sketch and use more straights in my construction.

My first attempt at level 2. I made a ton of proportions (and a few anatomy) mistakes here, I don't think I accurately captured the likeness of the reference (photo #13), but I think it looks cohesive and believable enough at a glance. I'll try another one and see how it goes.

Great construction! 13 is also a favorite of mine. There's enough likeness from what I can see. Keep it up!

I wanted to do this for myself . I tried to see with the lines of the box in mind as this is a new concept for me . Any feedback welcome . Oh im level 1 .

I followed along , i only had confidence because Stan did it . Im level 1 , and it was good to do as he pointed out angles and lines i didn’t see . It looks great but unfortunately not because of me . But I’ll get there , its a time thing .

First attempt. Had to follow along to know what I had to do first. Will do a couple more by myself.
any feedback is appreciated.

This was challenging but, really fun! Please let me know what you think. I think I lost some structure as I added details but, I still like the end product.

Looks amazing!

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this, but each drawing takes so long. But I'm quite happy with the boxes and I now have a better understanding of how to use the angles of the boxes to support the drawing of the head.

Hey now I can construct a head (sort of) in perspective and out of imagination!
