The Block In Course

For feedback the first thing I noticed is that in your drawing, her face looks longer, thinner, and more masculine. I think a lot of what is causing the masculine look is the jaw is looking thick and square. In that point that is between the line coming from the chin and the one coming from the ear, where they meet, in the photo that line looks horizontal with the bottom of her lower lip, but in your drawing it’s noticeably lower. I think raising that would help feminize her look. Could be that the chin is a little too wide. Hard to say because this is just showing the stage were you have simplified short lines, and maybe when more detail is added, meaning curves, then the chin might look smaller. I also think the neck might be just a little wide. The forehead looks a little higher in yours. On the left side, our left, the line going by the ear looks more vertical than the photo or even the one that you put on her right. Making that line pushing up to the left a little more diagonally could also help in making her face look less narrow. But you are doing well, keep at it. Don’t let yourself get too frustrated over struggling with measuring and proportion, it’s a difficult skill to get good at, but the more you work on it the better you will get at it. You are not supposed to be good at it right away. One thing to consider when you are measuring an image to your drawing using your pencil and thumb to mark distances, try to be mindful of keeping the way you are measuring consistent. If you are changing the angel and distance from you to the image you are measuring, it’s not going to match. And if your drawing is flat on the table, and you are measuring it, sometimes sitting straight sometimes leaning over the drawing, or just leaning less or more at times, it’s going to make your measuring inconsistent. I definitely have falling for all the above. I hope this helps
