[bold isle]

helloo nice work!! good head shape with correct proportions however make sure to double check proportions in face area for the next time! I would consider this work as complete so don't adjust it, just keep it in mind for the next portrait study ❤️

[feral spindle]

Welp im done for today

Ooooh

Sounds interesting

[acoustic junco]

I mean I have one portrait of Robert Downey jr

[echo root]

Yo I'm hyped for this might take me 2 days tho hope I'm not to late

[delicate elbow]

This looks horrible 😭 I feel like I'm not improving.

[warped rapids]

I am not qualified for proven advice but I do know some concepts. I feel like you have a nice grasp on the shape of the face, but your proportions are off. You should ensure the sizes of your proportions align with each other. What I mean by this is, for instance: the ear should be the height of the eye to the (I believe) bottom of nose. Its placement should align with the direction that the head is facing (tilted up or down). It is easier to map it with a line in whatever direction the head is. I place my pencil over my reference and use it to measure proportion sizes sometimes. I am not a professional but it works for me, so I hope it can also help you with your journey. A YouTube video may better explain this

I find that knowing this can also help with matching proportion size in my case

[simple skiff]

thought about coloring it but...nahhhh...

PORTRAIT STUDY FOR WEEK 22?

drastic change woaaa

[bold isle]

the weekly ones are mostly random there is no special order tbh:D

[hard rose]

Need suggestions 😭

[bold isle]

helloo pretty good!!
next time you can start by drawing some more guidelines to find more forms and proportions!
the biggest issue I see is the incorrect head shape, but you can consider it as complete work and keep these suggestions in mind for next portrait study

[hard rose]

M really grateful that I joined this channel because this was my fourth portrait but I wanted to try this with paint and I have jus started drawing recently , but thank you soo soo much really appreciate it 😭

[bitter matrix]

Need suggestions too

[bold isle]

Helloo same tip as for the person above, check for more proportions with more guidelines next time, it looks great but there is an issue with jaw placement so keep it in mind to double check your jaw proportions in next study next time!!

[bold isle]

couldn't finish version 2 in time so at least a wip lol
