This is my second attempt at drawing her.I hated the first one after I posted.. This one I did in pencil 2B, 4B, and 8B . Some charcoal. Tried not to be so uptight about it?

Let's breakdown how squinting can be used in different ways! In this lesson we're covering how to use it to find edges.
Karen Johnson
Squinting to find edges, just doing my best while learning the dos and don'ts of charcoal. I hope to get there. I'm using vine. It is pretty fun, but easy to smudge. And hard to undo when overworked.
Karen Johnson
Not sure why this isn't showing up as a submitted assignment. Any suggestions?
Greg Morris
Charcoal didn't work for me, so I followed MJ's lead and used 2B, 5B, and 8B.
Morgan Weistling
The values are too off here to be able to appreciate edges. remember, look to just separate light from shadow first

This is very nice. I think you’ve done a good job. I would just say that your half tones are too dark and need to come closer into the light family so there’s a better separation, which will give it more structure.
MJ Cardenas
My drawing looked squirrel-ly in the beginning. I used the mirror to look at it and wow! I could tell what I had done. It is still off but better. I'm looking forward to moving on and learning more. Practice, practice.

Remember that every area where light meets shadow must be handled. You didn’t soften the firm edges on the nose areas

Realizing the iris/eyeball area might be too dark. I think I'm drawn there first, rather than the lock of white hair on the left.

Hello Morgan, my drawing for squinting for edges part. A little rough overall, but I hope it reads alright

Try to have clear separation between fights and shadow and you will find that edges will be easier to observe and interpret

Squinting- edges Forgive the crossing lines. The crossing lines are not connected. I also was not exhaustive in pointing out all the edges.
Morgan Weistling
separate your shadows from light better before you could ever judge edges. clean up those light and darken those shadows and edges will be easy
