Bonus Lessons
To make someone look old in a drawing, focus on more than just wrinkles. Start by laying out the basic planes of the skull, like the eye sockets, nose, mouth, and cheekbones. Emphasize the cheekbones and how fat shifts with age, revealing more bone structure. Pay attention to how gravity affects facial fat, causing it to sag and create new contours. Use light and shadow to highlight these changes, and avoid over-relying on wrinkles, which can distract from the overall form.

i've always had a rough time with shading, but slowing down and really observing the subject helped out a ton. As always, i welcome to any critique.

I’m consistently having trouble on where to put the spheres for the eye balls in the socket. I initially did this before seeing yours was different. Can you please explain?

I center the eye placement on the halfway line between brow and socket. Your sphere looks like it's placed beneath.

These are the best art instruction videos I've encounter in many years. Content rich with excellent b-roll embellishments, each lesson is a fun to watch. The touch of subtle humor also helps.
