I think the lips are positioned too far down the chin. Generally, the lips should be contained in the top half of the the bottom third of the face (see the example attached). Because the head is tilted slightly downwards, there will be foreshortening and the lips will appear slightly lower but its pushed too far in your drawing. Another point I had (and this may just be the cigarette distorting the lips) is that the lips should be turning more with the head, to me the lips appear almost as if they were on a front facing head. Try visualizing the lips as muscles wrapping around the tooth cylinder, it really helps with orienting the lips and make them look properly anchored to the face. Also please try taking clearer photos in future, a lot of the drawing is out of focus so we miss out on seeing all the details!

Tasty digital eggs :)

Nice work! Nice rendering on the portrait too! You're checking pretty your cylinders quite well although I'll point out a few errors I've - sometimes when you're drawing the correct minor ellipses its not going down the centre of the ellipse. e.g. 111, 76, 82 are all off to one side - As Danet mentioned, avoid cylinders with little to no foreshortening. You're not fully practicing perspective if there's no foreshortening. For that matter, practice a variety of foreshortening, get extreme in some of them! One other thing I noticed is your ellipses in both the mushrooms and the curved cylinders aren't shifting, they're basically the same width all the way through. We're actually viewing each ellipse from a slightly different angle so some should appear wider/thinner than others, I've attached a diagram for explanation. Keep up the good work!

Hi! I did drawabox a little while ago so I can offer some tips. Checking for mistakes is an important steps for understanding what you're doing wrong and how to improve. For cylinders: - find the center point of the 2 ellipses and check if your minor axis divides the ellipses exactly in half - with a ruler, draw the correct minor axis for each ellipse and see how it compares to the minor axis you drew, it should be perpendicular to the major axis - check foreshortening is correct - the ellipse closest to the viewer should be larger than the one going away - check the degree shift - the ellipse further away should be wider than the ellipse closest to the viewer. The difference in wideness should follow the amount of foreshortening. So in this example: - the minor axis runs directly down the middle of both ellipses, nice - the minor axis is pretty close for the small ellipse but is not aligned for the larger one - the cylinder is foreshortened the wrong way. Your hatching indicate smaller ellipse is visible and is closest to us, but if its closest to us it should be larger than the other ellipse - the degree shift is good, the ellipse further away from us is wider. The difference in wideness is believable given the amount of foreshortening So it should looks something like my example (although you can see it's not perfect either). Keep checking for mistakes and look for trends, that way you can figure out which areas you can improve on. Hope that helps! Also if you haven't already, you should checkout the drawabox discord server, its pretty active and you're much more likely to get feedback from people familiar with the course content
