I definitely see mistakes but likeness was the goal. Critiques on that would be helpful.

I think I made the eyes too big but I don’t think that’s the only problem. I think I made the overall head to small and the features a bit to big/bold if that makes sense? I would like some feedback so I can improve in the future

I tried following. But I have alot of proportional mistakes. How did you guys measure your reference to drawing? Also any other critique?

Finally, Not sure how long ago I started the course. First time I went thru really to fast. I had some issue with the forhead lines, but here it is. I know I didn't push the lights and darks any further. Feed back is welcome

2024/6/4. Good afternoon everybody. Here's my latest work, a master study again. This time a tried to draw a detail from "Giuditta Beheading Holofernes" by Caravaggio. It's my first work totally realized by pastel pencils (Stabilo Carbothello and Rembrandt on Pastelmat paper). The wrinkles on the face of the old servant Abra, intent on holding the cloth in which Holofernes' head will be preserved, are excessively hard but the gradations and nuances are acceptable, considering the instability of the pastels. It is my first attempt to create a work with this type of media but I must say that I am moderately satisfied. Thank you for your comments or critiques.

Hello, some great feedback on here. Would appreciate any critique of mine. Been drawing for about 8mo, so my self-critique list on this drawing is very long. Would love to know if it matches what others think, thank you!

Hello, here is a recent lay-in practice that I did. I am having issues with the lay-in stage. Particularly with setting landmarks and making the big shapes accurately. I like using straight lines in my lay-in stage because I find it a lot easier to set landmarks (e.g. thirds of the face) and draw the big shapes of the features (e.g. the eye sockets and overall nose shape) as shown in my work below. I don't feel confident with this method though because obviously my initial lay-in is far from what the reference looks like. Am I using too much straight lines here? Should I incorporate more curves? Thank you in advance for any kind stranger who will respond to this!

I did some expressions study. I feel like knowing the muscles of the face will help me do this better

Here's a portrait that I did recently. I'd like to be able to shade much like how Stan does in these demos but I just don't know where to start with the topic. It's a subject that I have a really hard time with.
Tell me what you think please. Feedback is very appreciated.

Wasn't sure the best place to post this, so dropping it here. Wanted to do another portrait on my own before doing the last assignment in this course. Per usual, being a day or two after drawing this, there's a list of things to work on that are very clear to me, however, I spent more time on the layin making sure proportions were correct and did some additional measuring. It's not quite as accurate as I'd like, but there's improvement (if only in the intention and time doing that initial drawing!).
Open to feedback if anyone has comments for me! Always interesting to see if flaws I'm aware of are what others notice. Thanks!

Here's my result after following the demo. Still some things I'm certainly aware of I need to work on, but open to feedback! I would say I felt confident going into this based on the foundation I've improved on throughout the course. My biggest personal critiques on this include needing to spend more time on the initial drawing (spend more time with initial measuring, be open to changing things later if they prove to be off or look off) and paying more attention to values across the entire image (some of my darks are too dark or neighboring areas not dark enough).

Hi, I would appreciate some feedback. It's extremely difficult to get likeness for some reason.

First Attempt, using HB 2B 4B, homemade stump and eraser. Had to change the nose near the end when I realized it was too short, changed the forehead at the end with Stan. I can see the mouth is a little off and will go back into it.

Another exercise…focusing on a more defined stroke, less blurred
…I need to do more of these drawings to find „my line“ and confidence. Maybe I will use a smoother paper next time- what do you think?

I didn't quite finish this drawing of Nikolai because i realized that I should have chosen a larger format to draw more precisely - or maybe I should have used a different pencil? I started blurring and could‘t work out the details. Anyway, i'll try again! what kind of pencil, paper and size is the best for a drawing like this?

Here is my drawing of Nicolai. I'll probably try again after I get more portraits under my belt. I think I'm approaching it well, but need some line mileage to refine my measuring technique and get used to drawing with a charcoal pencil.
