[Metallurgist]

Another self portrait, and my entry for the current Cow. Gonna do some more face studies later today. I figure if I cant make my face look right with just linework, it wont look good when its polished. I have a lot of work to do. :|

[Metallurgist]

self portrait for today. I watched vilppus videos on constructing the head yesterday and found them very helpful. Although I find that I keep making the lines a little off each time, making heads either to wide or to thin.

[Metallurgist]

im pretty satisfied with this.

[Metallurgist]

face studies and such

[Metallurgist]

for today

Nice work, your sketches are good. As for crits I'd say work on your values / tones as that'll give you more depth in your images and stop them looking flat [like the problem you were having on the first page]. But saying that your values are getting better with the self portraits, so yeah you're on the right track working from life.

I know its a bit sketchy, but it got pretty late last night. It will have to do.
Gonna try doing some different expressions, change it up a bit. this one is actually close to what the lighting is like in my room
