Here are some portraits I drew before taking this class, I can’t wait to see what I am able to do after learning the loomis method and breaking down each facial feature and how to draw it correctly. I didn’t ever really do well in college because I couldn’t find classes tailored to exactly what I wanted to learn and thank god for technology and people like Mr. Proko for creating platforms to teach lessons on exactly what I’m interested in.

I began my drawing journey early to mid July 2025. The “portrait” on the left is from early August before taking Proko’s Drawing Basics course and this course. The portrait on the right is from September 27, 2025. So this is just roughly 3 months of progress. Still have much to learn, but these courses are fantastic.

Looking for feedback. I think I've made improvements over the last week or so. I've enjoyed practicing.

Looks nice but imo the left eye looks bigger and the eyelashes look chunky but thats prob just how the female model does her lashes

How to draw oval with respect to head angle.Although I have drawn few of them but not able to draw for every angle of head

I'm very excited to start progressing through this course! I've always loved portraits and am looking forward to picking up methods to help me master portrait drawing. I've heard that it might be a good idea to try and sketch statue faces because they have well defined features and proportions, so I think I will try and implement that into my studies as I progress through the course.

Check out Bargue plates - i found them free on line. There are many statues there to practice drawing. I love the one you posted.

How different is this course from the Head Drawing and Construction Course by Michael Hampton? Does this course teach you how to construct the head from imagination? Which one is better?

I am confused about how to do the course. when do I proceed to the next lesson? When an exercise is enough? When do I do the features? After all the lessons? Do I need to hold the pencil side ways?

So they tell us how to draw the head they tell us how to draw the individual eyes nose mouth but other than a hour-long demonstration they don't have a lesson on putting it all together? Just a thought

That's been my problem with this course as well. The course needs updating.
