Your approach is so soft and subtle, very beautiful and fun to watch it come together. I think maybe I got distracted a bit by some minor details I should not have been giving much attention to, particularly in the eyelid. I am having problems with the left eye and the shape of the mouth, I think the eye is too large and the mouth is maybe too large also, some of the shape is a bit off. I also notice the neck is too wide, I haven’t put as much time into that area as I have the face but I believe I can adjust most of these things as I go on to the next step to refine the shapes.
I’ve never used charcoal on a pencil drawing before so it’s a new approach for me. Instead of willow charcoal I have a container of charcoal dust from when I sharpen my nitram sticks that I used instead though, just smeared some on with my fingers very lightly than made sure to wipe my hands so I don’t leave little prints everywhere.

Stage 1: After watching the introduction and explanation of the materials and concepts we will use in this stage you will be ready to choose an image from the model pack provided with this tutorial. Once you have done that your priority will be establishing a simplified block in that takes the whole composition into account. Being complete in each stage of the drawing is critical to the success of the project.
Hello! I realize this course is a few years old so not certain I'll get a response, but I just got The Art of Portraiture recently and thought this would be a good companion to the book.
So far I feel like my drawing is progressing okay. I've just been making small adjustments at a time and trying to keep the whole in mind rather than focusing on completing one specific area to work out from. I feel like something's off maybe structurally with my drawing though. I don't want to push things too dark before I find and correct the problems, but I'm not sure how much more I can do in the light/halftone areas before they get too close to the shadow value and make the drawing muddled.
Thanks!
