need to work on my observational skills to actually draw what I am seeing

Making a conscious effort to observe more

I think I did better. The face is too low down from the brow ridge. I didnt know a quick way to fix it without erasing ,so I left it

I made sure to look at the reference before drawing. I also tried to measure using my pen not sure how well that worked

[snakker]

Looking good

Given you are on digital, one thing you can do is make two passes. For example, you make one drawing on one layer, with construction lines and you make a new layer in top with final lineart and then hide the construction. Just an idea as seeing these lines does help get an idea of your process and can help with critiquing

This is getting close. Nice job in distance from eye to brow, notice pupil direction - one thing that can quickly make someone look off is when the highlight one one eye is different from the highlight on the other eye, the two brows and forehead are just slighktly off in terms of angles and forehead height, along with the figure’s left cheek and i think in this case, insinuating the crease made by the lower lid can help make a closer match

Cheers

@snakker Its funny how obvious mistakes are when they are pointed out. Thanks for the feedback, I cant unsee how wrong the left cheek is. As for the other mistakes its impressive that you can spot them. Even after you pointed it out I had too look very carefully to notice

tried something that might be harder to measure using my pen. This time I counted how many heads the figure was , I think it was 8. Then used my pen as a tool to notice the alignment and angles in the figure. I hope it actually helped my accuracy
