I didn't see the downloads until just a few minutes ago. I followed the visual style and did some measuring. Although, to be honest I struggle with the measuring.
By struggling I mean I seem to take an inordinate amount of time to measure and when I think I have it, I measure again and come to realize that nope, my proportions are incorrect.
I'll try it again with the newly downloaded portraits provided. In the meantime, here is what I managed by doing the first 3 videos of the visual style. I know it is still not accurate, but would like to hear some feedback as to what I need to improve.
Yes I know I added features (like the mouth and the eyes) when that's not part of the first 3 videos.

Great to work on block in , it is the foundation but too often skipped in lessons. I relate with Edward here, same issues, but Stephen is giving good advices.
my question is: what is suggested pencil for block in? Sometimes I read a hard one, for example 2h, sometimes a soft one for example 4b…. I m confused. Thanks!

Shading condensed notes cheatsheet pdf3mo
Hi all,
do you know where to find a single document with all the precious notes that Stan gave us about shadowing of sphere and other basic 3d shapes? Would love to keep a copy at hand.
thanks

This was definitely a fun project. Had to keep reminding myself not to copy ,but study and invent instead.

I found it quite hard to find reliable measurements. Looking at the overlay, my drawing is not that far off, except maybe for the collar. For some reason, I feel there’s still no likeness in the drawing. Not sure if that’s due to the linear drawing and missing shading or if the small deviations are enough to throw it off.

The second you said I believe. I like to think faces are like human QR codes, small difference and they are off. I am not yet there with my courses btw you much ahead and doing great!

My poor attempt to the two guys
Ok, that was fun and tricky! Got carried away with lines of the snail shell... Pretty happy with how the boots came out though
I did first the boots and after the snail without watching demo. Interesting to say I drew quite badly the laces. I think my left brain told me they are not important for some reason. Lot of learning
