This has been the hardest challenge yet. I feel like I understand what Stan is teaching but when I try and implement it I end up way off. There's something getting twisted in my brain in application. Here's three attempts. The first I made the basic mistake of making things too small and not in the right position on the page although I think it was looking okay despite it. A lot of this one was done eyeballing it and I felt more confident than when I measured with the other attempts weirdly enough. My second attempt... woof. One mistake snowballed after another. I did my lines too dark and couldnt erase well enough and then I spiralled trying to fix it with more lines! Embarassing but it taught me how important it is to not be so heavy handed. My third attempt was feeling okay until I did the eyes and nostrils. I should have kept it simple. Any feedback appreciated. I appreciate how much this took me out of my comfort zone for my skill level but man this was tough.

Placement and proportions are harder then I thought, took me about an hour.

I'll definitely have to do this more often when I notice the proportions on something I'm drawing look off, it was pretty helpful doing the direct comparison (I don't have photoshop so I just made the image the exact same size and held the drawing up against the screen to check the difference)

Wicked hard!! I admittedly did not spend as much time on this as I should have. Takes a long time to measure everything out and it’s hard to hold back from just jumping into the drawing…

Another attempt. This one was harder than my previous one, I think. It’s funny how obvious the mistakes become once you layer the sketch over the photo! I’m happy with the jaw line but her eyes are obviously too high. General observation: noses are strange and hard to draw!

suggestions please

I took 2 hours for this and im fine with the result. Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

dont have photo shop so couldnt compare

Definitely, not an easy one. Struggling to find the right spots and units... difficult to understand when things go wrong...

From simple to complex

here i did eyeballing

I made the face too narrow too. I think it's because I try to convert the picture's proportion to an A4 sized paper and that causes distortion.

I made the face a bit too narrow I think but overall for a first attempt I think it's not too bad!

still working on this one, only drawn faint lines so far so that i can easliy fix things later, gonna take a food break on come back after my brain gotten the chance to rest. hopefully it still feels ok after the break.

I'll have to try this some more because I'm not really sure I get it. I had to have the video up as I did it

This was hard. I took so much time to measure out the proportions but when I finished I could tell something didn't look right. Once I overlayed it with the reference it became clear the eyes were WAY too high.

My neck hurts 😂 cant find a good posturento draw

I like the end result of this sketch, but I will have to learn to have more fun with the approach. I had taken numerous measurements to get accurate primary, secondary, and tertiary shapes, however it is rather mind-dumbing haha. With more practice I presume it will become physically and mentally easier to develop these proportional framework sketches.
