A course about how the face changes as a person gets older. If you are creating a character concept, how to show them at all different ages. What do they look like at 5, 11, 15, 18 25, 35, etc...... Or you could just add the content for Premium subscribers to the Portrait class :-)

This is how I usually grip my pencil, I feel it works better for me than the overhand grip. Maybe I’m just giving up too easily but I never hand a problem with using it and it work for the most part. However I would like some criticism on what I can do to improve it.

The overhand grip works best for Charcoal, sharpened the way he describes in this Video: https://youtu.be/D_W9sZ8S7RM . Like you I have mostly drawn with the tripod grip. Once I started his courses I decided to try charcoal since that is what he shows in the video and I did come out with smoother lines. My drawing has always been very rough. I has gotten easier the more i have used it in the lessons. Really, I think it is a preference. I prefer lead holders with 2mm lead. Here is Proko's video about drawing grips if you have not watched it: https://youtu.be/pMC0Cx3Uk84 . Here is his video about other drawing supplies, such as the lead holders: https://youtu.be/FoyaGaFajSU .

Hair practice from the reference picture. Hair has always been difficult for me. Of course how Stan does it looked really simple, it still took me around 4+ hours. It is okay, but still no where near easy.

Here is a drawing of my own ear from a picture I took. I am not super happy with it, but it is okay.

These 2 free videos from Proko about shading a drawing helped me and should help explain how to get the lips to look more 3 dimensional and less flat: https://youtu.be/LrHfrncvODQ and https://youtu.be/-dqGkHWC5IU

I really like that these later lessons have the reference images. It makes it easier to follow along and good reference images can be hard to find. Here is my drawing from the Lips reference picture.

I was going over the lesson notes for how to draw a nose anatomy and structure. I liked one of the pictures he used and decided to draw the nose, but ended up getting carried away. Thoughts, critiques? Thanks,

Here are three eyes I drew for the assignment. The one in the center was the last one I did, this time with pencil from a reference image. The other two were done with charcoal. I have been trying to draw with charcoal since that is what Stan uses, but I am much more comfortable with pencil (Lead holders). I have been having a real problem with sharpening the charcoal the way he recommends. I think the post office jumped up and down on the box of charcoal I ordered from Amazon. Every time I try and sharpen them, the charcoal breaks.

I am really struggling with the extreme angles. Using the 3d head helped me realize how much of it is really a perspective drawing. Even though he mentioned perspective, I feel like he understated the importance. I finally just drew vanishing points and tried to do it all with perspective, which I feel made it come out more in proper proportion. I still need a lot more work on angles and there are many more that came out bad that I did not upload.
