This was by far the most confusing lesson. I was VERY lost and even a little frustrated because of my confusion.
I hope nobody after me becomes frustrated with learning so I'm including my personal process and MOST of the information I gathered. And keep in mind, my process will not work for everybody. It may not work for you, and it sure as hell doesn't work for every single reference. But its an overview and a base.
Most importantly: what I say and paint isn't perfect. There will always be mistakes. I want you to learn from what I'm providing. And if what I'm providing includes mistakes, learn from those mistakes.
Out of all the information, the most important thing Ahmed mentions and what helped me the most is focus on high contrast areas and brush economy (macro to micro). More information about what I learned and why I posted weird screenshots of my art is included in the text

Use the references provided to draw and paint the values as shown in the demonstration. Starting with a careful drawing, and laying in a midtone value on a layer beneath the drawing. Then build up the highlights, and place shadows if you’d like. The illusion of form should still work without the darkest shadows, that’s up to you. Be sure to carefully isolate the value groups to help indicate form, lighting, and contrast.
I really struggled on this week's assignment. Managing to get the likeness of the reference still eludes me...
