First attempt before watching Demo. Apologies for the numbering being out of sequence on the pictures. I use an A3 sketch book and I can't take a picture of the whole page at once. Also I draw to lightly. Great challenge, I think I'm starting to get the idea but, as always, I will practice more after I watch the demo video!

First few attempts. Not in a specific order. Did these before watching the demo. I basically drew the box and then tried to fit in the head into the box. Approaching it like this felt weird. I missed a lot of important landmarks. Also I didn't really pay attention to the line weight. I was focused on placing the features in the box. Got a few questions: How do you determine the centre line of the head? It's not always the centre of the box from my observation. Do I have to eyeball it or is there a way to determine it? How do you use line weight on a portrait? Generally I would darken the facial features and sharp edges close to the head. Number 10: In the ref the eyes have a different angle than the eyebrows. Am I tripping or is that really the case. I thought that nose, brows, eyes and mouth angle should all align Number 15: The angle of the mouth is different from nose and brows. How do I draw this without breaking the perspective?

I saw it in the critique a few times. Is the center line of the box the center line of the face? I saw a few references where you could clearly see that one side of the front plane appears to be bigger than the other side.

Level 1 second try. definetely saw an improvement after watching the demo. If you see anything wrong with the boxes, I'd appreciate the feedback

Level 1 first try. I realized that the center line of the box is not the center line of the head. also I have to keep foreshortening in mind when placing the lines for the nose and brow. I am aware that a lot of these boxes are not correct. One question I still do have: how do you determine the angle of the top/bottom plane of the head or how much of it is showing. I have a hard time to judge it

i tryed a few quick things

I have 0.5mm mechanical pencils. Is it worth it to get me some 0.7mm and 1mm mechanical pencils. What's the difference aside from the lead width. Is the size difference significant enough to justify the investment?

i drew this as i got inspired by a creator here who made a few pic ideas post the credit to the idea goes to @Vincent Lagacé

Not a whole lot going on here, for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what to add to the room.

My line quality and accuracy has gotten better. Although I'm struggling to draw doors and windows on the side walls. Still not having fun with this project. It's mostly because my visual library for indoor rooms is pretty low, so I end up drawing the same thing over and over. I will do some 1 point perspective draw alongs and references.

well here it is

Level two

These are the level ones I did. I fucked up the horizontals and verticals

Level 2 here we go. Overhand grip and 10mins. I actually like some of those I did. How do I make women not look like men when I quicksketch. I noticed it several times but I can't put my finger on it Any feedback would be appreciated

I really love how thorough rhythms have been explained in this section. I was struggling to really comprehend the concept in the past. So here are my level 1 rhythms. Took it very slow at first and I think naturally my timings went from about 18 minutes in the beginning and down to about 10 as I practiced. Line quality is also an issue I feel as it can get messy trying to place the lines in the right place.

Second round. Still bad usage of line weight. gave myself a time limit of 5 minutes. I needed more than 5 min just to finish the pose on some of these. proportions are sometimes off but I don't hate every single pose I did

Level 1 submission.

First batch. I tried gesture drawing/quick sketch once and I really disliked it but everyone said that it is important to improve. I struggled through it. I went randomly through the provided refs and used other ones as well. I got a few things I don't like/can improve upon: -> No time limit. I stopped after I thought I was done - Line weight is not deliberate. looks more like I am sketching. I don't really how to distribute the line weight that it makes sense. I know that you can do hierarchy, depth and form and light and shadow. The thing that would make most sense to me is depth and form so basically when overlaps occur - Proportions are incorrect. Have a hard time eyeballing - I think that I focused too much on the details/segments of the body and not on the connections If you have anything to add, I'd appreciate it

First batch! It was a struggle but a fun one. Still getting the hang of the overhand grip and just charcoal, so eh, these are messy. And so are my white kitchen table, my hands, and my slippers. Spent ~20-30 min on each. Would appreciate your feedback! :)
