Soooo, after realizing that #7 wasn't that great as it seemed at the beginning, I found myself in a never ending loop of tweaking and correcting proportions. Let's leave it as it is for now, won't get any better with my current skillset 😐

#7.

#6. Sketched on a tablet this time. Took me a while. However, there are still lots of things that need fixing... the jaw seems off, as well as the eyebrow and ear.

5th. Even something seems off, I'm feeling how motivation is bursting in. On the other hand, starting to feel more doubtful about Loomis method, since it didn't quite work this time. It's really hard to draw the sphere right, which leads to incorrect face proportions later :/

4th. I was really happy with this. It felt that Loomis method works great.

3rd.

2nd try was pure fail. Shameless sketch.

Here I am back in March. After watching countless tutorials on youtube, I've gathered enough courage, took a old school pencil and a paper and came up with this ➡️

So I though that it will be a great idea to skip shitloads of levels in between and go straight to drawing portraits. My first try 😂. Needless to say I got demotivated big time and quit drawing for the next few months...

"In November I started with a Drawabox, but didn’t have enough willpower to finish the course. It felt like a grind, but it really helped a lot in getting my hand into shape, training muscle memory, perspective, and so on."
