In this level 2 demo, I'll show you how to construct heads with accurate perspective and well defined 3D forms. I'll start by identifying the simple box of the head's orientation. This box serves as a map that guides us to align the smaller forms to the angles of the 3 axes, ensuring a more lifelike and dimensional portrait.
Thought I'd give this one a go (because my idiocy is unbridled) and proved yet again that level 2 is still a long way off! I think the advice here is to take Michael Hampton's Head Drawing and Construction course...
Hopefully, these models will never see what happened here today, but in case they ever do, please accept my deepest, most profound apologies. I will try harder and promise to try these again when I have more knowledge and practice under my belt.
Looks great!
For the sake of feedback on this lesson it would be helpful to leave in the construction lines.
I think the glasses have a lot of foreshortening going on. It makes it look like the glasses and rest of the face are not on the same plane. So the glasses have a different vanishing point than the chin or the forehead.
I drew #7 and 13 after watching the demo. #13 was very hard to get it right and I still feel like something is wrong here...
WHERE ARE THE MODEL PHOTOS!. They aren’t in the downloads
Catching up on a few lessons. I love drawing the heads. Seeing the head as a box really helped. I had a little trouble with what to do with shadow areas that I couldn't see.
One-point room attached as well.
Tried 07 (farthest left) on my own and it became a disaster proportionally; so I erased most of it, and followed along with Stan. Numbers 02 & 14, I constructed on my own (the middle two); and they seem flatter. less 3D-like. The 4th and last one I followed along with Stan, using his process and better use of straights. More work here for sure!

The perspective from below is so challenging but you nailed it. These have a lot of style. Keep up the good work!
Here are my first few attempts of level 2. These are after watching the demo and before watching the critique.
these are hard but fun exercise to do. 😅
I was also listening to the draft men podcast drawing these and I learned in one of the episodes that it is OK to fail.
Portraits done after watching the demo I think I still need to keep focus on angles of the face as I think the second portrait is looking up more than it should be.
Somehow I like the thumbnail a bit better but I caught more details in the actual sketch
Here are my sketches from Stan's demo. I learned to be more accurate with my initial box sketch and use more straights in my construction.
