Took a lot longer than I would have like with this. Plum lines still confuse me a bit so I used the eye to pencil method for most of it. I was genuinely shocked how accurate I’d managed to get some of it when showing the reference underneath, but then equally  as unsurprised when I saw a lot more of it wasn’t accurate. I enjoyed doing this even though it was a tough challenge, just need to continue practicing.

Well, I went through the first two and wasn't quite satisfied. I watched the demo, and redid it a third time, and it turned out OK. I've never used Procreate before, but I was able to kind of get my comparison to show up on there. Not sure how I can get that onto here though...

The assignment was pretty hard, but also very fun! I’m happy with how it turned out, even if it’s not that accurate and it doesn’t really ressemble him. I was surprised by how off I was even though I knew something was off.

Wow, i think its look like a human. Mission completed ! :D Some errors with shoulders, back of the hat and angle of mouth.

This portrait was a real challenge. But in the end I was very satisfied when I placed my version over the original. I didn't quite get the shoulders and hair right but I'm very happy with the rest. For fun I did a second portrait to work on the shading a bit. Now I understand Proko when he says this portrait is not a beginner's face - I had a really hard time recognizing the different levels of shading...

This has been the hardest challenge yet. I feel like I understand what Stan is teaching but when I try and implement it I end up way off. There's something getting twisted in my brain in application. Here's three attempts. The first I made the basic mistake of making things too small and not in the right position on the page although I think it was looking okay despite it. A lot of this one was done eyeballing it and I felt more confident than when I measured with the other attempts weirdly enough. My second attempt... woof. One mistake snowballed after another. I did my lines too dark and couldnt erase well enough and then I spiralled trying to fix it with more lines! Embarassing but it taught me how important it is to not be so heavy handed. My third attempt was feeling okay until I did the eyes and nostrils. I should have kept it simple. Any feedback appreciated. I appreciate how much this took me out of my comfort zone for my skill level but man this was tough.

Placement and proportions are harder then I thought, took me about an hour.

I'll definitely have to do this more often when I notice the proportions on something I'm drawing look off, it was pretty helpful doing the direct comparison (I don't have photoshop so I just made the image the exact same size and held the drawing up against the screen to check the difference)

Wicked hard!! I admittedly did not spend as much time on this as I should have. Takes a long time to measure everything out and it’s hard to hold back from just jumping into the drawing…

Another attempt. This one was harder than my previous one, I think. It’s funny how obvious the mistakes become once you layer the sketch over the photo! I’m happy with the jaw line but her eyes are obviously too high. General observation: noses are strange and hard to draw!

suggestions please

I took 2 hours for this and im fine with the result. Feedback would be greatly appreciated!

dont have photo shop so couldnt compare

Definitely, not an easy one. Struggling to find the right spots and units... difficult to understand when things go wrong...

From simple to complex

here i did eyeballing

I made the face too narrow too. I think it's because I try to convert the picture's proportion to an A4 sized paper and that causes distortion.

I made the face a bit too narrow I think but overall for a first attempt I think it's not too bad!
