I followed Michael's complete construction video as recommended. I did a quick 1-minute shading pass on top just to see if it held up! :D

Hi, First of all - what a great course! Thank you so much for this guidance. secondly - I was wondering - when understanding the construction and features of a person, can one look at a portrait but sketch a different expression?

Definitely! That sounds like a very challenging but doable assignment. You would just need to learn the major muscles of expression and then think of them wrapping over the surface forms we developed here. Once done, you would imagine each muscle pulling to create the expression you're after.

Face maps! Eyes came out small especially the far side, need to refer back to my steps before going darker also checking my work in a mirror is something I never practice, but great teachings.
