Getting those subtle value changes is way harder than it looks, but I think I did alright. Maybe some proportional issues with the length of the head. Thanks for the really insightful lessons in drawing, which really helped with some gaps I felt I had in my approach

I think I could have done a better job on the measurements and value control. Something about this one was extremely more challenging than the old man drawing.

This drawing has been measured extensively, but it still feels slightly off.

I think there are a few problems. But I am hopefully I got the "yearbook photo" likeness.

Thank you Morgan for an amazing course. I really enjoyed it. Any feedback is welcome.

This is what I ended up with. Started over three times until I got a block-in I was satisfied with to render. Sometimes it's hard to see whats wrong but you know something is. Need to get up and take breaks more.

I tried pushing the dark values a bit further than I usually do. It was a struggle to keep them all balanced and even. The pinky fingernail trick to keep the hand off the page while still maintaining contact is a great tip!

Unfortunately the charcoal pencil I have did not give me very dark marks. Hopefully this light drawing still works.

Really benefiting from this shape to shape way of drawing! I always struggled with female heads when using the Loomis or Reilly lay in. Thanks so much! Would love to hear which areas you see where I may still be going astray here.

It may be due to the camera angle but, when I use your suggestion of rapidly comparing your drawing to its reference, I see the drawing as being slightly stretched vertically compared to its reference. Are you seeing that too on the video? When I was a student, this type of distortion was a common issue for those of us who didn't begin a drawing with an envelope that established the overall proportions of the image. What are your thoughts about using measured envelopes as a beginning, as Raphael Ellender teaches in his book, Basic Drawing? BTW, Andrew Loomis offers a "visual survey" on page 88 of, Figure Drawing For All It's Worth, that's kind of similar to your "inside to outside" method of measuring.
