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.

The perspective from below is so challenging but you nailed it. These have a lot of style. Keep up the good work!

For some reason number 9 was pretty tough to draw, I drew her 3 times! :B

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.

My first attempt at level 2. I made a ton of proportions (and a few anatomy) mistakes here, I don't think I accurately captured the likeness of the reference (photo #13), but I think it looks cohesive and believable enough at a glance. I'll try another one and see how it goes.

Great construction! 13 is also a favorite of mine. There's enough likeness from what I can see. Keep it up!

I wanted to do this for myself . I tried to see with the lines of the box in mind as this is a new concept for me . Any feedback welcome . Oh im level 1 .

I followed along , i only had confidence because Stan did it . Im level 1 , and it was good to do as he pointed out angles and lines i didn’t see . It looks great but unfortunately not because of me . But I’ll get there , its a time thing .

First attempt. Had to follow along to know what I had to do first. Will do a couple more by myself.
any feedback is appreciated.

This was challenging but, really fun! Please let me know what you think. I think I lost some structure as I added details but, I still like the end product.

Looks amazing!

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this, but each drawing takes so long. But I'm quite happy with the boxes and I now have a better understanding of how to use the angles of the boxes to support the drawing of the head.

Hey now I can construct a head (sort of) in perspective and out of imagination!
