I’ve got some big news! My family just welcomed our third child! It was a bit of an early surprise, but we’re all doing great. Basics students - With this change, the next three months might run a little differently. I’ve built up a backlog of content to keep things moving, but there might still be an occasional gap. If a week goes by without new material, just know it’s temporary. Things will get back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience as I adjust to life with three kids and gives some attention to my little one. In the meantime, keep practicing, revisit older lessons, or share your progress with the community. I appreciate all of you. Thanks for being such a supportive group!

For this one I tried to apply a 3 values study according to the volumes of the face. But with hard edges only

Pencil drawings made during the Christmas holidays spent away from my graphics tablet.

2 studies that gave me a hard time, especially the second one. I had a really hard time understanding the planes of the cheekbone. I needed to do some tracing on the reference. I also did some skull studies, to better understand the cheek and visualize the anterior and lateral planes of the face.

My first 2 drawings from the previous ones

My attempt at the 8 Step Method. I started by returning to the drawings from the previous exercise. Then the new references. I struggled a lot with some of them (mainly with number 8) and only did tracing on number 5 to try to understand the shapes.
