    Hi! I love that you spend some days just in details like the mouth, eyes and ears. I’ll take some inspiration from you for my own challenge! Just started over

    And congrats on finishing the challenge! So nice to observe your progress with the human figure!

    This quote by Salvador Dali made me think of you. Thank you for sharing your art and your insights!

    “A true artist is not one who is inspired but one who inspires others.”

    Hey! You said your doing the Russian academic drawing? Did you come across the measuring lesson using the sticks? I need a lot of help with that!!

    Hi, Brittney,

    I usually just use one “needle” (usually a pencil or paint brush) to check angles. For example, if I’m drawing a face, I might check the angle of the jaw, holding my arm outstretched and lining my pencil up with the angle of the jaw, then quickly move my outstretched arm over to my paper and see how the angle I drew compares. I also rely on sight a lot because, if my drawing is much bigger or smaller than the reference, it’s more important that the drawing looks consistent with everything else on the page.

    If I were you, I would just listen to Ilya’s lesson a few times and practice, then double check it with your eye. You’ll know if it looks right or not once you get the basic lay-in done. Even with the needles, sometimes I’ll have to change something if it just doesn’t look right.
