Nice job! I you really captured the clenched lips. Thanks for posting your draw along glad you had fun! I got a lot out of how Josh approached the hair with straight lines and clumping them into big shapes. Something I need to practice! Studying from sculpture is really helpful! Here's my draw along from yesterday's stream. Keep up the good work! :D

Beautiful drawing of the David’s head! I still have to watch the rest of the streaming, but found all his tips very helpful until now. There’s still so much to work on. Thank you for posting your drawing, it’s a good example for me. Can’t wait to get better in all the basic techniques.

Josh Black. From the YouTube Anatomy Demo where he starts with this head of a sculpture by Bernini. Josh simplifies it more, but I had a good time drawing along :)

Kept myself busy. I'm not used to start live drawing this way - I can see that the gestures are far too weak (in image 2) - but I'm starting to see the simple forms better, so for now I'm happy with some progress.

My notes. One thing you mentioned in the lesson was that you don't like to curve your forms. I agree. I try to make my boxes boxes and cylinders cylinders. If one doesn't understand the simple forms, adding complexity won't make a drawing better. I used to attend figure drawing sessions locally at an art studio. One of the fellow artists that attended was a doctor by profession. He knew anatomy backwards and forwards. What he didn't know was how to represent three dimensional space via boxes and cylinders, and it showed in his drawings. I think one of the most misdiagnosed drawing problems is that when artists can't draw they figure, they think they have an anatomy problem, when more often than not, they really have a form problem. If form were easy, every doctor would be amazing at drawing the figure.

This is not my drawing, but I got this from this vid: Basic shapes intersection drawing time lapse video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xaPG9YRGcE I find this useful for more practice.

Playing with 3 point perspective. Then I wanted to add a 3D sphere, but I don’t see how the curves go (yet). Will keep on studying this subject, it’s fun puzzling. This eyes.training site is really helpful!

An attempt for level 2. Although it’s difficult; I love studying this subject. 👌

Level 1. The more I studied the images the more mistakes I saw in my drawings. So after a few trials this is the result for now. - I still haven’t developed x-ray vision, but hopefully more practice will help.

Because I find it difficult to see angles, the hidden lines, the correct directions, convergence etc. I ordered a little skull and made a plastic box around it (not perfect yet, but it fits) to see if this would help me. But of course, you have to hold this 3D box before a 2D picture and things change. Even more if you want to make a picture of it. But here's what I worked on 😅 And I discovered that I worked the opposite way; it helped me to draw a rough sketch (5-10min) first and then try to find the lines of the box. In a few examples I needed help from Stan's drawing. I haven't seen every video yet, so there may be some major mistakes in my post... Still have to actually draw the portraits.

It’s been a while, but I want to take it up again, even if it’s half an hour a day. (I see that the head in nr 4 is off.)

Due to the lack of time I just kept things adding to my library idea. A place where you can curl up with a book, watch a movie and can have a little something to eat. Graphite, then marker pen and at last corrections with procreate and putting people in here and there.

These warm-ups are a welcome distraction (from moving house😅). Turns out it’s very calming. No ruler used. Various pencils.

Bought 200 (digital)MAD magazines online 😃 Here's Woody by Mort Drucker. First I studied him with graphite pencil, took a photo and worked on it in Procreate.

Keeping myself busy with lots of hair. In hindsight i should have used a more smooth paper, but for now I'm happy with the result because I thought I would mess it up totally.

Fun. From MAD No. 289, page 45. Mort Drucker. Maybe I should have been more precise, eyes are not in line - but I just wanted it to look like Dave and wanted to see how the hatching is used. I miss those programs. He’s the best.
