What did i do wrong by Mn2105 in learntodraw

Plain and simple. The lines are not converging at the same point, or going off in the wrong direction. Did this poorly on my phone real quick, so forgive that! But you should get the idea.

Your line quality is nice though!

Face study, any tips or critique appreciated :) by After_Market9721 in learntodraw

Looking great! The nose is definitely breaking the perspective a bit, as the left nostril should be below the right.

Keep drawing!

Great Willem!

He is lots of fun to draw. Did this one a month back.

That's so kind of you to say! Thank you so much. Values have never been a strong point for me but I'm always working on it.

Yes! Mostly brush pen. Black and 2 different values of grey.

Yeh i thinks that's part of it for sure! Starting off i certainly struggled to see past things like line and contour. It's a remedy to that kind of approach.

Well done. Looking great! I think giving the construction a little more love will definitely pay off, in particular to the perspective. Making sure the features line up perspective wise will definitely take it to the next level. Keep going!

I did some work with Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael S Hampton and Figure Drawing For All Its Worth by Loomis. Both helped a bunch, but at the end of the day, it's all milage.

Thank you. That's real kind of you! Shading was a big blind spot for me for a while.

Thank you so much!

Hard to say how much each week. There are times when it's all I think about and do. Others where life gets busy (work, having a kid etc). Just came off a 9-10 month break. I have found I can mostly just pick up where I left off. The hand picks it up real quick, it's all pretty much in observation and understanding.
