This is my attempt before watching the video. I seem to have done alright with the features but the head shape and ear placement and neck placement is incorrect. I have noticed that I have a tendency to make my heads too small! Going to watch the video and try again.

The jaw is too big, but overall good enough I think.

eyeballed portrait I will most likely keep to measuring a bit more till my eye has developed

There. Doesn't look too much like Cillian Murphy, but at least it looks like a human. Sort of..

mm... could do a lot better, but I guess today my mood was not in right place. but nice one..... I take what's mine and take some more....

Any critiques are helpful 👍

This is how I see Cillian.

This made me realize I need to train my eyes more cause the face is so janky abit

I found eyeballing to be less stressful and more comfortable. The idea of not having to be extremely precise, like with measuring, allows me to drop down a general shape (or a guess), and slowly fix the parts that don't seem to fit. This workflow is more intuitive to me as I have a preference to "feel around" rather than making sure each line is the precise place it should be. Will still try to measure though, I got sloppy when drawing the woman, which lead to her features being squeeze vertically.

My cillian murphy is from other dimension 🙈

At glance, it looks similiar. But when i attached on reference. Many wrong mistake that i made it. Make me dizzy… Otherwise it’s really good exercise

i tried this out and it was a lot more enjoyable than measuring for 3 hours! i have a decent sense of angles but a lacking sense of width and height, so i want to try more. i think considering shapes more than individual lines will help

I think I’m much better at eyeballing than measuring. It was much more enjoyable, in any case. As always, any thoughts or critique would be appreciated. 🩷

Hello everyone! Form the eyeballing proportions project I did a portrait of the one and only, Nicolas Cage! I got to say that I came out better than I expected. I like eyeballing more than be precise, if I do it measurement for measurement it takes forever. I'll admit that I should've measured a bit more though, especially with eyes, eyeballs, and lips. I'm pretty happy with how it came out! I also tried to do the Tetsuo Hara-like lineart and shading. Tell me what I could improve on! Have a great rest of your day!

I checked it once in Clip Studio, made corrections, and then decided to render some of it :) needed a break from assignments Reference from Unsplash

I drew the facial features too compact and need to extend the top of the hair back more

Some slightly more casual studies - mainly with more of the eyeballing method and making use of digital for quicker comparisons. :) I knew the second image would be a challenge, as I always center the face more than it is in that sort of view. So it was a fun challenge! I had to thin the further cheek way more than I had initially drawn it. Last one I did a bit of lineweight practise as well with a second, darker pass!

I i was layerin pretty often to see what i did wrong. Allmost perfect at least for me. Did not focus too much on details..

Should you have a printed version of the reference rather than looking it from your phone?Been just using my phone. I dont know if thats even smart way to do at the beginning.. Like smart phone to a3 its pretty ruff..
