Practicing head structure after a quick video of Rasmus Aagaard. So quick that I am not proud of what I did. It looks quite messy and the nose is crooked. But at least I went over every part of the head.

Today  I’ve had a little bit of time to draw, but not to finish this Agatha Christie.

Hi Christopher! Thank you! Your diagram is very good. 😊
I have followed Vilppu’s and Huston’s classes for a while now, some of them several times because I am never tired of watching and listening to them. I have done some sight size stuff too. And started with the Russian course. But these are gods, people who have been drawing all their life’s, is like watching a magician!
What approach I prefer!? I don’t know. I copy photos and drawings, and I always end up doing it quite realistic, but it just happens, it’s not anything I plan! I’d prefer to have my own style and draw from imagination. But that’s more difficult to achieve than I thought. I try different styles, I like almost everything and almost nothing! I rarely like what I do. I wish I could “say anything” with a drawing someday. Maybe it happens, but most probably not. Because it doesn’t even depend on knowing how to draw.

I understand what you say. In Spanish I couldn’t find the good instruction I wanted either. In English is also difficult!
so here we are. Learning. I appreciate  your advice. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼

Hello Christopher!
You are so kind and encouraging! I also look at your work, but I never know what to comment as it’s so meticulous and clear and disciplined and good.  🤷🏻‍♀️😊

I haven’t had time to draw lately that’s why I upload quick sketches and some of them look messy.
Your comments are so much appreciated. 🙌🏼 I have to read them twice though 😁 because I have never attended an art school in my life and drawing-language sounds quite abstract to me.  Shadows seem to be my worst problem, yes, but I really don’t know how to address it. But I’ll work on what you say!
I guess it’s something you do well after a million drawings.Or Not. Also…  If you have a teacher on your shoulder telling you again and again, and showing you what he means,  I am sure is much faster. 😊 I’d like to learn much faster by the way.

Value grouping, edge control, local value,…. I know, it’s no quantum physics either, haha But I have to concentrate on each one and think about what it means because those expressions are not part of my vocabulary.  Besides, from my point of view, shadows can be anywhere depending on the light, and it’s also posible to have no shadows at all. Am I supposed to correct the light in a bad lighted picture? I usually draw what I see and try to replicate it as well as I can, and most of the time I can’t recognize/see a shadow or a core shadow or a shadow edge…  Maybe that’s the problem. Maybe I should be drawing just shadows for a while?? Maybe that’s something I have to see even if it’s not there?
May I ask who are you? 😁 I mean, are you a teacher? You sound as a teacher! But it says “participant”. And you are helping me as if you were a teacher.
I thought at the beginning that Joshua was a student  and then I realized he is a draftsman, painter, sculptor, and New Masters Academy founder! 👏🏼🙌🏼 How am I supposed to comment on a teacher’s work? 🤦🏻‍♀️
Anyway, I’m just uploading drawings here with the hope of finding some  comments like yours which help me a lot. 🙏🏼 Thank you!

This is from a video I was watching about the artist Wayne Thiebaud. Quick  drawing again, I am sorry. The paper is see-through and you can see something written on the back of the paper.
Anyway, he says in the video, talking about art: “Probably you won’t make a living, but you’ll make a life”. Nice, isn’t it?
