No error messages. I should add this is when I use the quick start timer button for the reference packs in my tools section. I try clicking on the check box and it does not work. When I go to proko.com/timer I can add packs no problem.

I have noticed today I cannot select packs in the pop up window for the timer tool. I have tried in Chrome and Edge, both are experiencing this issue. I tried Chrome on both my mobile and desktop, and it seems to be the same.

Using the tools from Lane Browns brush pack. The first i was trying to use the marker brush and work along with Stan. The second was a pencil brush. about 25-30 min each.

First attempt I focused on the face too much. The following ones I tried just focusing on the armor itself.

Here are the images at the 25 minute mark. Going to take the darker one a little further because that lighting was awesome.

Tried to be conscious from the last critique and not get too detailed. A lot of the flows between muscles became more apparent the more I drew.

Your strokes on the gorilla skull are fantastic. Helps show the form and planes of the skull.

Plan to do some more extreme or different angles. I just liked having a turntable look for the skulls.

Hey Anthony, This is a pretty ambitious portrait your doing here. Doing a portrait, from a different angle then the reference, with lighting from another reference is quite hard. Even more advanced artist would struggle with this a bit. But, it can be done if you take the time to analyze the reference face to understand the proportions. What I did was create a diagram that shows the proportions of the reference and then the proportions from your drawing. I think you will see the difference, and understand why your proportions look off. Also, the lighting reference you are using is a face made of hard edged planes, this young lady has a soft, rounded face, so your shadows and edges need to reflect that. I hope you find this helpful :)

Took on the task of constructing a Portrait commission. I pulled back from starting on some smaller details because I came to realize that my likeness is off. I think it's my proportions. The images I have included is the person the portrait is based off of, my current state, and the lighting reference I am trying to go off of. I am all ears on feedback to try and make this successful, thank you!

The only suggestion I have is darkening the left side of his coat. When I squint his hair looks a shade darker than the coat and in your reference they are the same value. Unfortunately I'm not well versed in clothing yet but the folds look accurate. I would say to soften the contrast maybe. As a composition those folds are asking for my attention when I think the attention needs to be the face since it's a portrait. That being said I think this portrait looks great! Your values in the face are great and I can read the form clearly.

I noticed while I am in a topic in the community section, if I try to hit 'Categories' to return to the main topics I get a 'Oops something went wrong' page.

Hi guys, I am learning fundamentals of portrait and lighting as well. I do struggle with values, they are not clear, so I need your opinion. Thank you.🙂

You have a great start here! It looks like you need to push the shadows on the planes facing away from the light source (the side of the face and neck). If you're not confident yet start slowly by darkening those first. Right now you've established your darkest values in the corners in the eyes, nostrils and mouth, so keep those side planes a shade or two lighter.

Looking great! midle one has great blacks, right one is good also. I would perhaps look at the overal value range but they look good to me.

Hey Anthony, without the reference it's hard to comment on the rendering, but I will say your proportions and features look pretty good. Watch your placement of the mouth in relation to the nose, the distance looks a little long. The mouth should be 1/3 the distance from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin. Hope this helps :)

Thanks! I have noticed I do stretch the nose and mouth down in previous drawings too, but being aware of it has helped me too.

I'm closing in at the end of my 100 heads challenge and think I like the final render style I have developed. Looking for any feedback, my thoughts are if I should push my darks more to help the form or if I'm doing good right where I am? Thanks!

Chose to do a local scene for this challenge, and tried to push the character while staying faithful to the lighting. This is in Tayport Scotland

The motion you captured with your brushwork to flow with your scene is fantastic!

My favorite part of this are the colors hidden in those shadows. Great job!
