LEVEL 2. It’s honestly so inspiring seeing the drawings from veterans in the comments, they look freaking amazing. I did the first two sketches back in December and the digital one today, and yeah… it looks really crooked. I straight up downgraded HAHAHA. That said, I clearly need more practice both on paper and digitally. I feel like I have a better grip on paper, but I don’t want to stay safe and comfortable with just one medium, so I’m switching between them. This is the part of the course that made me go back and redo about 50% of it for a second time. From here on, everything is new to me. It’s exciting, but I’m clearly on the path of suffering and being humbled by every exercise I do. I feel like I lose neurons with every exercise. I’ve been doing art every day since November 1, 2025, and I plan to keep doing art until… forever? This is part of my life now. I’m treating it like a job but I’ve never done this before so my brain has been kind of slow lately. It reminds me of being in high school, trying to comprehend math while my brain just spaced out. I think I’m overwhelming it LOL. If anyone’s reading this, sorry for treating the Proko community like a journal. I was working without posting anything back in November but seeing my work and notes in chronological order in the community motivates me a ton, so here I am, rambling. If someone is struggling: Hand in there soldier, keep going, YOU GOT THIS!!

Hi everyone. Not sure if I’m doing this right. Any comments appreciated. Before I do the rest. Thanks

Did 2 point boxes of heads 10 through 19

Head perspectives - before the demo. I made boxes too round because faces are rounder. I didn't do it right obviously. The hardest thing was to determine where the front/middle/back starts and I couldn't figure things out for some of heads.

perspective is way harder than i expected thats my attempt to this project, i would love so critique ou advice

The demo clarified several difficulties I had.

Ended up redoing the heads. I was removing considering too much of the upper/lower planes as part of the front (e.g. forehead). Visualizing what the cube should be shaped like based on what I'm seeing definitely helps.

Here’s my attempt at boxes. It started “clicking” once I started focusing on converging lines and vanishing points rather than the contours of the heads.

Second try on the portraits in perspective assignment. Feels still a little off but much better than last time, at least when it comes to imagining the planes. Critique are as always very welcome! Have a nice one :)

First image on the left is before watching the demo. I like to try it before watching the demo and see the improvement after watching the demo. Next two images are after watching the demo. these are really helpful in looking at the head as a 3D box. Great exercise and will continue to do these :)

Really had fun with this exercise! I always thought perspective was daunting but this course made it easier to understand, especially through the projects! I'm more of a self-taught learner and the more I practice the more I self-correct. Had the hardest time with 19 though, couldn't tell if I should put the ear in the same plane as the front side of the face, but I did my best! (Edit: was meant to post this in the previous video, but I didn't watch the demo as of doing the project yet)

Combined the studies partly with sphere & other exercises. As for reference 5, i'd argue it is just 1 point perspective since the head is parallel to us as the viewer.

My brain still hurts after this exercise…but by the end I understood it is incredibly valuable one

Here is my third attempt, made without watching the video. I think I’m really starting to get it!

Drew alongside the demo this time. The smaller boxes were from the demo. One thing I've realized is that sometimes the edges of the boxes don't line up exactly with the reference, or at the very least, areas like the chin or side of the head are curved such that it's difficult to find the exact edge that describes them.

Here are my post critique attempts. I think I still need to build that attitude of redoing them if they look off.

Hello everyone! Man! This one kick my butt, but I head fun doing them. I definitely be to be practicing those more. Let me know what I need to improve on. Have a wonderful rest of your day!
