Along with this assignment, I followed Naranbaatar Ganbold's Painting Facial Features tutorial. I highly recommend it. I memorized the forms of the nose, mouth, and eye in-depth thanks to his teaching.
I also feel confident enough with the fundamentals to look for a style. The colored paintings are my attempt at finding something I like.
Critiques appreciated.

Based on the wireframe analysis method shown in the video, study the images provided in the same way. Feel free to do this with images of your own choosing. It's VERY important to be slow and careful, so that you internalize the forms bit by bit, which WILL require repetition! Nobody memorizes it right away.
- HARD MODE:
Nose - choose one reference image, zoom into the nose, and paint it 8 times with 5 minutes per painting
Mouth - choose one reference image, zoom into the mouth, and paint it 8 times with 5 minutes per painting
Eye - choose one reference image, zoom into an eye, and paint it 8 times with 5 minutes per painting
Ear - choose one reference image, zoom into the ear, and paint it 8 times with 5 minutes per painting
(That's 32 little paintings, good luck!) - EPIC MODE:
Create four paintings that you spend at LEAST 30-60 minutes on;- Crop of a nose
- Crop of a mouth
- Crop of an eye
- Crop of an ear
GOOD LUCK
I suggest looking at week 3 in feedback in critics for this part at this point for extra help
After the 5 minute paintings, it really felt relaxing to do the ones with min time instead of max time.
Back after watching the week 3 critiques, the main take aways for me were:
* first and foremost make the paintings read well, this may involve deviating from the reference or accentuating certain features
* make the light and shadow families obvious and readable, start by simplifying the big value groups and work your way to smaller ones
* be thoughtful using highlights and don't over do it
I did some paintovers of my assignment, I notice the chin area of the 5 min paintings were a little sloppy and not reading well. I upped the contrast on the cropped features to make them pop. I also tried painting a marble sculpture as an exercise for simplifying value groups, I found it pretty helpful
Here are some of my 5 minute paintings. I really like the repetition of his lessons. I feel doing a bit of self critique between them helps. I find hair to be very difficult. Critiques are welcome.

2023/7/22. Good morning everybody. Here's my last assignment for this section. Thanks.
2023/7/20. Good morning everybody. Here's my assignment for the eye chapter. Thanks.
2023/7/16. Good evening everybody. Here's my tracing of the nose from the attached references.
'Epic mode' - focusing only on noses for now. Will do the mouth next. I found that when i blocked in the shapes even a little bit, it was easier to paint. Feel like each nose improved from the previous.
Besides the angle being a bit off, the ear was a little wonky feeling. Maybe the values were too light but not sure
