A few more. I am starting to get faster!

These still took far too long but I think I’m slowly building confidence. I’m going to watch the next video then keep trying.

I’m struggling with this one. These took over an hour each, so I’ll have to get much better at this if I ever hope to crank them out in 5 minutes! I’m just not able to quickly eyeball accurate proportions and distances. I think I need to be much sloppier and treat these like throw-away attempts.

I'm not sure why this post was tagged with "asked for help". I don't think I did that on purpose. This happened to me once before too. Feedback is welcome, of course. I think I just need to do this dozens of more times to get better and faster at it.

This time I started with a more fluid gesture, refined the structure, then tried to exaggerate or alter certain lines to make them more interesting. I’m not sure how successful I was, but I think I’m starting to understand this exercise a little better.

i defenitly feel the structure , however i thik the gesture could be more focused on the shape the animal has
@markplewis
Here’s another one. I tried to be mindful of how the viewer’s eye moves through the form but I’m not sure whether it actually makes sense or I’ve just been staring at it for too long, LOL! I’m still having a hard time designing the shapes in a way that’s different from what I’m seeing in the reference.
@markplewis
Maybe I should have started with something much looser, like this? I think I’m on the right track now, given how rigid my original sketch looks by comparison.
@markplewis
I’m finding it challenging to sketch without cleaning up my lines! I’m going to try a few without allowing myself to erase anything.
@markplewis
Another attempt. This one was harder than my previous one, I think. It’s funny how obvious the mistakes become once you layer the sketch over the photo! I’m happy with the jaw line but her eyes are obviously too high. General observation: noses are strange and hard to draw!

Overall you did well! Great job finding the correct angles, that's a challenging task. Here's a free lesson from the portrait drawing course specifically on noses: https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-draw-a-nose-anatomy-and-structure/comments. They are pretty weird to draw but learning how to simplify them will help :)

You did it. You have perfected this assignment. All of these designs are so freakin good! Keep making more. These designs would hold up well with 3d form too!
@markplewis
c3rmen’s original work on the left followed by my study. This was a lot harder than I expected, given how simple the piece is versus the Joshua Black studies that I did previously.

That looks great! The line work in all of your studies is super clean.
