Hey all, here is the drawing i came with after having watched the whole course. I have to say that Marco explains very well all the knowledges about the human head. The approach with planes is really the best in my opinion, it cuts things like puzzle and become so easy to assemble everything all together with good proportion. The part two of the course is more about values and color and here again, understanding values are crucial and he explains it so well and easily. Thanks Marco.

This is a fun drawing. The gestural perspective looks good 👍
@mica_
Gosh, this guy looks more like a man covered in warts than a ginger root people... :) And obviously, i focused too much on human anatomy. Too bad, i'll try again. Made from imagination on Krita.

This is a very very nice drawing. I like the balance of big, medium, and small shapes that you used.

Hi everyone, can you give me some feedback on my master study please ? I really tried to think and apply all the things we have learn since the beginning of the course (drawing with energy, CSI curves, tappered strokes, line weight and all the good stuff :) ) And i find difficult to give myself an objective feedback... So if you have a feedback i would appreciate it a lot. By the way i did not respect the assignement because it took me almost 4 hours to achieve this drawing but i really really enjoyed a lot going on and on that i didn't see the time running... :)

If I'm being completely honest I like yours more. It has more emotion. I really like it.

This is excellent, I think. I also think that the value we get from Master studies is in what we learn doing them, so feedback is actually secondary and it's difficult to give it constructively. You've given this time and effort, and it looks really good, so all I really can say is enjoy the proud feeling you've gotten from accomplishing this, and take that feeling to your next one :).

I finished the course this week, but am just now getting around to posting any of my notes. Also, here is my review of the course: For anyone looking to take this course, I would say that a general understanding of form is essential. If you're not comfortable with form, try the Drawing Basics course first, and that course will get you ready for this one. For those who already have form thinking in their back pocket, this course is amazing. Marco's explanations of how the planes are formed and fit together are first rate. I've studied the planes of the head before, and have studied from Andrew Loomis's book, Micheal Hampton's book, as well as Stan Prokopenko's portrait class, yet I was surprised how much new information I came across while working through this course. The rabbit hole goes deep indeed. Once we got to the color portion of the course, I have to say that Marco's explanation of how light works is hands down the best one I have ever come across. I've barely started working with the knowledge, yet somehow my color work has upgraded significantly. I can't wait to see what happens as I develop a little muscle memory with it. If you're wondering which courses you should take between this one and Stan's, my answer is that it's a good idea to do both. With any knowledge you consider critical, it's a good idea to consult more than one source. Hearing the same information in a variety of ways will help it sink in. Also, while there is significant overlap between the two courses, there are parts that don't overlap. If you're wondering which course to take first, I would say it depends on your skill set at the beginning. If you feel comfortable doing boxes in perspective, but not circles, then I would say do Marco's course first. Stan's course involves using the Loomis method, which will require you to place an ellipse on the side of the head as a construction approach. Marco's constructions don't quite go that far and are largely based on box construction. On the other hand, you're comfortable with all the construction regarding boxes and circles, I would do Stan's course first. Additionally, Stan works in black and white throughout the course, which will give you additional experience working in values. This course is an absolute steal. In addition to getting on the path to mastering the planes of the head, you will get what I consider and absolutely mind blowing explanation of color.

Thank you for this review, it helps :)

I really enjoyed doing this exercice, don't know if i did it right but at least i really enjoyed drawing this hand

Looks good Mica! For the fingers, did you start with the squares that attach to the hand? I struggled with finding a starting point, but this looks well thought out. Also great idea for the wrist!

This looks good to me. I see you also taper the boxes to the tip of the fingers...

I definitely misunderstood the assignment, I did the sketch and covered it with the outline

The proportions are pretty good. Well done
