My first attempt at this tutorial

First of, I would like to thank you, Jamie, for your hard work, the video quality is amazing!

I don't really have 9B pencil or high quality pencils as stated in the video, but I couldn't wait to try it out, so I went with what I have anyway. Here I have used H, 2B, 4B and 6B. I would like to get better with proportions! I have watched your proportion videos too and that is such a new and refreshing technique for me. I used to just draw from what I see, so this scrap paper measuring technique will come in handy for an even more realistic drawing. 

For the plotting stage of this video, I did not use the ruler technique in order to accurately follow what you are presenting; and it still comes out rather believable with just the scrap paper alone! I am impressed. You have made me enjoy drawing again!

 

With gratitude,

J
