Hey Ben, there's a lot to be proud of here. You nailed the proportions, direction, and placement of the antennas. The proportions and placement of the snail's body is good also. The only issue I see is the snail's left wing is slightly high. Just a suggestion, maybe adding the bevel lines of the shelf may have given you more reference points for placement. But maybe not people's brains work differently. The lines of the shelf got a little out of alignment. The shell proportions are slightly small. I think a lot of us are struggling with line quality. That's why we are here. Great job, keep it up.

Daniel, I like your lines. Good representation on the laces. The foreshortening on the boot from the viewer's left is good, better than my first attempt. The proportions of the toe box are slightly small. The boot on the viewer's right needs to turn more to the right, slightly. Or maybe the toe box is a little short. But this is nit-picky stuff. I had to really look for stuff to critique. Good work! P.S. I'm behind on the challenge too.

Hey Igor, great job. The only two things I see is your proportions for the stomach got a little distended, and maybe the construction of the face is a little flat. Other than then the proportions look good. The construction of the legs, neck and back are solid. Good work!

Sorry I don't have a critique for you. I just wanted to say, not only is this solid work, but the amount of work you're putting in is inspiring.

Venessa, I like what you did here as well. I think I should have simplified my boots more, but I couldn't stop myself. I want to take another run at it. I want to stay in the same vein as you did. Great gob, good work.

Danial, your stuff is really good. It is great to be in this community with others that are more skilled. It inspires me to push myself and put in the work like you have.

Why do I see these things after I post? My proportions way out of alignment. The nose is angled too much. The subject's left cheek is too wide. And the subject's jaw is angled too far down. Well, like I said, I was so focused on tone and plane.

Casseil, I don't think you need to apologize. You're putting in the work, That's great. I think there's a lot to be proud of here. Your shading is solid. You are keeping true to the assignment. You're grasping the tone grouping. Key into what Stan is say about the lay in process. Find reference points and landmarks, then line things up. For instance, where does the outside of the lip line up with the eye, vertically, which you did a good job on. Notice the distance from the brow line to the hear line, which you need to work on just a little. I constantly reference things like the sheet I included, as I'm in the lay in process. I suggest that you Keep replicating Stans 5 value scale over and over until you've got it down pat. Then visually go back and forth between the scale and your assignment, as you are blocking in your tones. Any and all issues you have will dissolve over time, if keep putting in the work. I like your attitude.
