Just starting working on portraits to go with the human figure. Probably should have started with the head but later is better then never.

Side view completed, I'm still having a hard time with applying ellipses to the ribcage and pelvis, but other than that I'm slowly understanding the 5 step process from gesture to form. I'm just happy to even attempt this stuff.

Tried this assignment with two different mediums (Charcoal & Graphite). Thought maybe I would branch out a little. Still think I need to work on gesture and finding the shapes within the figure. What do you guys think?

Might need to do this assignment again at a large scale to get a better feel for the human proportions. What do you think?

Actually enjoyed this assignment! It was a nice way to think about and grapple with perspective intuitively... Gonna continue studying form intersections as we go. Work cited: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1130755419021762558/

Hello Michael, looking forward to learning from you and growing as an artist. Please see below examples of some of my Work. And please let me know what you think about where I could improve. Also, I hope you don't mind but I kind of adlibbed a little with the shape selection. 

Just trying to feel my way towards realistic figure drawing!

What do you think? Looking for some direction/suggestions on how to improve my figure drawing! I know I need to work on timed gesture drawings. But I dislike the clangers process...
