My second attempt at this. I tried two times to draw measuring proportions, but I just don't understand how to get it right - first measuring the ptoto with a pencil, then measuring again on the drawing introduces massive errors. I can see that my proportions are a bit off in this drawing, like the face should be a bit wider, but they were A LOT MORE off when I tried measuring. Hopefully watching more demos and critiques will help.

A really important part of improving your observation skills is increasing the speed and frequency of feedback. While feedback from an instructor is great, that might not always be an option. In this demo, I'm going to  show you how to take a drawing that you did and compare it with a photograph on your iPad in Procreate so that you can check your accuracy and increase the speed of your feedback loop and improve faster.
