When studying the fat inside the orbit, I referenced Anatomy of Facial Expression, and then stayed on the same page to keep referencing the other facial fat pads. I wasted a huge amount of time before realizing that what the course covers about facial fat is actually talking about subcutaneous fat. Orbital fat, in this book, belongs to the deep fat, while the subcutaneous fat is in the pages before it. I kept trying to find the relevant content after the deep fat section—so stupid of me. But! A lot of fat pads overlap between the superficial and the deep in space, so their volumes should stack on top of each other—for example, the fat pads on either side of the nose (which get noticeably thicker from compression when the mouth opens, forming a very distinct shadow area on both sides of the nasal alae).

Not really sure about the location of the fat, please critique.

@Michael Hampton really appreciate the critiques especially the second critique. I want to improve my understanding of the planes of the facial features. I have watched all the course videos a few times but I am still not quite understanding them. Do you have any other resources that can help me grasp this? I am really enjoying your method of teaching by the way. I have all 3 of your courses here on Proko and would enroll in anything else you put on here. Thanks

maybe a stupid question but I don't really know how to start with the ball. Is it under the ears? under the nose? or under the cheekbones? I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help me

Thank you, Michael Hampton! I was excited when proko announced your classes about construction. Im enthralled with your style ever since I picked up your book 4 years ago. There is a lot of beauty to the construction, and learning your process while hearing your mindset was highly beneficial! thank you for your time, Ill implement your feedback!

Unfortunately, I missed the deadline to submit my work for critique, but hopefully I can get some feedback still? Thank you so much Mr. Hampton for these detailed courses! They are one of the best head drawing lessons I've seen on this site. Looking forward to more courses you'll hopefully be teaching in the future!

Hey @Michael Hampton! Thank you so much for this course! I have a question regarding likeness and I'd really appreciate your input on it: When trying to "transfer" likeness, as in, studying a face but then trying to redraw that same model's face in a new pose, what are the most critical things to pay attention to? Obviously it's best to keep in mind everything but, are there specific areas or proportions that make or break likeness?

Congrats to those who have finished the course. Can't wait to finish it myself once I complete my university assessments.
