Reworked after taking some of @Martha Muniz suggestions. Also reworked some of the fingers on both hands as they looked a little wonky . Of course still happy to get any critiques/suggestions :)

Looks great. Maybe you can play a little with contrast in saturation. For example, the things you wish the emphasize in the drawing (handle of the blade?) could have (tiny) parts with more saturated color.

Placing features on Loomis head feels good! Critiques are welcome!

Good use of the loomis method. Make sure to make the lip line parallel to the eyeline and chin line.

Looks very recognizable. Try to work on the symmetry of the lips and the eyes. Try to harmonize the shadows on the ears with the rest of the face. The iris of his right eye looks unusually bright; maybe there is a hint of a cast shadow you can add there (dont have the reference now). Well done!

Graphite: He uses Staedler pencils, usually mechanical pencils. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoyaGaFajSU&ab_channel=Proko. And he often uses Conte 1710 2B pencils, which is a very black compressed charcoal (not so smudgy as normal charcoal), which I am a fan of myself. My own favorite is the Tombow mono pencil, HB or 2B, because of the slightly darker graphite lines.

2023/9/30. Good afternoon everybody. As promised here is my third work regarding character design from photos of ordinary people. In this third study I tried to incorporate some animal elements that seemed in line with the features of the people in the photos. Thanks for your comments or suggestions. Good Saturday.

Love the shape design on the fourth one, especially the ears.

The upper drawing is well simplified into big masses. I think the bottom drawing could use a similar simplification. The reflection part could be more unified, and the other side curves into a shadow mass with a few strands of hair with reflection. Without any changes, the pictures already look quite nice. Well done.

I feel that my drawing is flat. I guess some of it is due to not using charcoal and thus my darkest dark is not as black. I would love to receive some critical/guiding feedback. Thanks!

Nice work. The upper lip, the right eye and the upper part of the glabella should receive more shadow, because they are turned away from the light. The left eye also receive a cast shadow from the eye socket. The likeness is there.

eye/eyebrow placement looks wrong. Actually all facial features, the placement looks wrong lol

Almost looks like Henry Cavill. Well done. Try to commit to drawing the complete mouth and the complete nose. That will help seeing how to create more symmetry and balance.

I'll take this class later in late summer 2023. For now, I like to share my piece here. It's my first attempt to draw caricatures of various people from different countries.

Great work. The third one has great exaggeration. You could keep the cheekbones and the nostrils a bit more symmetrical in all the drawings.

nice. You could also use a circle to find the lips. The whole mouth is not a flat area, but it is convex.

I decided to purchase this course right away. I realized that summer will be extremely hot, and I'll be sweating heavily. So here's my submission. Not bad on the first try. I'll try again whenever I have time.

Well done. The portraits are quite expressive. A personal preference of mine would be to have bigger eye pupils to make their faces look warm and interested. The shading in the first drawing looks a bit unintentional, and could be mistaken for actual shapes (beard stubble) or it ages the person (on the neck and under the eye). I love the Eddy Murphy drawing.

Hello everyone! I am currently doing this illustration piece of a mushroom girl. I am not really happy with the background. It somehow looks flat and boring. It would mean a lot if you guys helped me out with it! Thank you

maybe more variety in the saturation of the green in the background?

Don Lawrence (UK+NL) was phenomenal in painting with gouache. Many frames of his last ~200 pages of his series 'Storm' are so beautiful & meticulously painted that they were sold as posters. The 'Thorgal' series (BE+FR) and one-off 'Chninkel' by Gzegorz Rosinski has some instances of great beauty, especially the covers. And I agree with the earlier mentions of Blacksad and especially Moebius (his art was used for 'the Fifth Element').
