The video says the eyes should be placed in the vertical center of the head if the person is looking straight, but doesn't this contradict the Loomis method where the center line is the brow line?

I still feel my hand and my lines stiff, it's been a month since I started practicing drawing again. Unfortunately the hours I can devote are few and of poor quality, usually after work. But what hurts me most is the comparison with the past. My last drawings are dated 2016 I still remember how much I enjoyed it. Now I'll just have to keep practicing until my arm finally relaxes, until I start to relax myself and start enjoying it. There is no better feeling than the pencil flowing effortlessly across the paper..

Almost halfway my goal for this lesson, I have been mostly focusing on the planes of the eye for now. If anyone has any tips how to approach this lesson or critique/advice let me know :)

hi there, need some help on this one. I figure there's no point to start shading if the structure of the drawing is off, so thats what I try to figure out, but boy it's difficult. Could anyone point out where to pay more attention please

Awesome job! You've had a lot of progress and you're getting really close. Just two details that can help you out:
You added the eyelids in good positions with correct proportions to the eyeball, now it's just the matter of adding some thickness to them so they appear three-dimensional. In the 2nd page of drawings, you can already see the implied form as the lids wrap around the eyeball, so you can further define this visible area of thickness. Sometimes it will not fully be visible, depending on the angle we're looking at, but in this case you can fully the bottom lid and the left area of the top lid. I've added a sketch below to hopefully make it clearer.
The 2nd thing would just be the simplification of eyelashes. Instead of drawing individual lines, try looking at the bigger groups and see where you can simplify them into shapes to draw. It can help to think abstractly, so think about them just as the 2D shapes you observe instead of thinking of them as individual hairs to copy.
Keep up the good work! Let me know if you have any questions :)
