Asked for help
I’ve come a long way since the beginning of the course. This feels good to really see a difference in my results. What I still have difficulties is determining the correct value of the skin just by looking (something which just needs lots of practice) and is the reason everything is so dark. I hope I’m on the right path regarding stylization and shape design. Feedback is welcome, as always :)

Asked for help
I practiced hair! 2 things I've learned and want to share: 1) Digital drawing hair is hard. I spent 3 solid hours searching for a good brush on procreate, that let's me draw with the control Stan shows in the video. Something I can tell y'all- don't use the texture brushes advertised "for hair". They are too textured or hard to control. I can recommend simple brushes with a bit of texture that react well to pen pressure in order to create sweeping lines. 2) Shading values correctly and nuanced is key here. This skill really needs to get practiced. I will do some more studies before I can chill out on the end of the course ;) . As always: Feedback is welcome!

This one was harder than I thought it would be. I tried several types of noses and found it really hard to get the proportions and the shading in 3d right.

I did more noses, this time it worked much better!

My Ears :) Feedback is welcome!

Wow nice studies! Try to separate the light and shadow sides more. The areas of the ear catching light look too dark in value and competes with the shadow side. Lightening up those areas will let the occlusion shadows create depth to the drawing more. Good work on the form and shapes of the ear. Keep drawing them and they will become second nature. Nice work!

These are several mouths (newest on the left). I'm feeling confident that I nailed most, will now return back to the noses to practice them some more. (BTW: I don't request critique on this one but can't post it as a simple post, don't know why)

Thank you both also João for clarifying. I always thought assignments are the tab where your own practice belongs (and critique is optional). I will consider posting this things in the comment section next time :)

Finished drawing some eyes.

My first assignment which was fun to do :). Thank you for tips and critique, really appreciate it: Head 1-50: drawing the Loomis head from the 3d-Model, doing lay-ins from the practices, some lay-ins from real-life reference photos. I am not yet very consistent regarding line placement. Will definitely repeat this task 50 more times to get more routine!

Strong work here! The 3d model and Loomis examples look great and did the photo reference ones give you more challenge? They did for me when first learning this method of drawing. Though these studies are so good for developing dexterity, muscle memory and an instinct for the structure and rhythm of the face I used to have challenges with people who looked different from Loomis faces. Now I like to think of the basic loomis head as a thing to stretch and change as needed (taking comparative measurements) for who ever my subject is.
