Stage 2: In this stage we are going to be building up the values in the drawing. This means that we need to understand well the planes that make up the forms of the head. Since these forms are going to be applied to our 2D drawing surface we also need to understand how to design the shapes of value we will use to illustrate the planes of the head. Before you begin to push your values you should double and triple check your proportions. Compare the various heights and widths in your drawing to each other starting with the largest one and continuing to the smaller ones.

I am happy with how my drawing progressed from my last post, but I am getting to or am at the point where it's difficult for me to see how to push things forward more. I think the corrections I made to some placement/proportion issues I found after last time helped. What I'm having a hard time with I think is keeping the relationships of value correct across the drawing and, on a more technical level, applying smooth values both on the darker side and the lighter side which I think is maybe contributing to the first problem.
