Rodrigo - Art School Journey

[Rodo]

I don't know why but most of the time I draw the face longer than it needs to be, that's something I have to work on, but other than that I think the facial features are almost on point.
Thanks man.

DAY 3
Today I went straight to the weekly assignments not knowing the time it would take to finish a section of the exercises.

Weekly Assignments
Weekly Assignment #1
Face Construction from Memory
Taking note from the previous corrections I think it's ready and finishied.

Weekly Assignment #2
3 Point Perspective (work in progress)
In this exercise is where I took most of my time today, because I constructed more parts to it and customised it to my liking.

Added some poles, slabs and banners to the frame

And finally I went even crazier and transformed it into a more wrecked place, temple thingy.

Added cracks on the walls, vines, debris and a withered city on the background.

[daceronine]

Yo good work man, that gate looks mighty impressive!

See you in two days.

I think your faces look good tho I would probably go back and review where all the facial features are I think you placed everything too low so it elongates the face remember the chin is the length of the circle on the side. I forgot to mention this too in the sketch but the width of the mouth should be the middle point of where they eyes lay

Thanks m8, i'll keep in mind the guidelines for the future since I really strugle with realistic style for faces (Art in general), so I will remember this for all times.

Nice man. Despite the little differences the fact that you are reconstructing the face from observation gives it a lot of credit. Jack Black and Pascal look good!
