added comment inProject - Measure Proportions
Asked for help
i have three things that bug me off
1. the facial expression, it was supposed to be serious but he came off angry, he has little visible eyebrows so its kinda hard for me to express his face
2. it doesnt read like they are the same guy tho i did try to focus on that.
3. the eyes dont look at the direction i wanted them to be
proportion wise, i dont feel very bad about it, but as you can see i used only the hat to measure vertically only i eyeballed them a bit more than measuring, mostly because i dont really know how to measure in this software. but i think he looks... okay? i hope, any advice is appreciated

Great job with the vertical/horizontal relationship. That's a very common trouble area for students but you handled it well!
On the topic of measuring, it doesn't matter which software you use because all you need is your pencil/stylus. Pick the 'unit,' (which in this case you used the hat), use the space between the tip of your pencil and your thumb to record the measurement, and then compare that measurement to other parts of the image. Mark down these relationships on your paper/tablet, and continue refining until it's accurate. The marks most likely will move as you measure so keep them light.
Using the musketeer as an example -- I took a measurement of the vertical height of the hat and use that to find the length of the face and placement of the nose on the face. I turned the hat measurement sideways to find the width of the face to the approximate edge of the hair. Some comparisons are better than others, and most won't be perfect, so you just that that into account when you're making your marks.
Also, pay special attention to the degree of the angle between two features. Finding the correct angle between the eyes in your drawing will help a ton with the likeness!
You can do this process digitally by drawing a line on another layer like I did in my example and moving it around the reference image. Hope this is helpful to you :)

You’re on the right track. My favorite is the little fox guy. He’s got some personality.
All he needs is a few more straight lines I think.
Heres a breakdown of how I might try simplifying that guy. Hope it helps.
Keep it up!

i’m lingering here a lot, sorry for that,
this is 3.5 months progress when i started, not a big jump, but i do think it improved. i understand planes now, but my hand eye coordination still sucks, and i dont know which to blend in, which to leave with hard edges, but better than nothing

the lines are pretty hard to control to make it interpret to the original but i had fun drawing them, but maybe not the church from the pic i took because architecture uses a lot of straight lines...
