Drawing for Complete Beginners: Head and Face Made Easy

Hello! First of all, thanks a lot for your positive review, I'm very happy that you enjoyed my course! Concerning your project, overall you understood well the structure, your characters are diverse and expressive, and you've even been able to draw complex angles, congrats!!  Now here are my suggestions as for how you can improve: (I will post some corrections on your drawings in the "discussions" section, because I can't post images here.) First sheet:1- Overall good structure! Be careful to the chin, your character is opening her mouth so the chin should follow and be lowered a little. Also, the top of the head is a bit high.2-The chin a little too short compared to the standard, but I just want to mention that it can happen that people have a shorter chin. Just be mindful that it is intentional, and not a mistake!3- Really good, especially that this is a hard angle! There's only the eyebrows that are a little bit too close, otherwise it's very beautiful and expressive.4- Congrats for attempting another very complicated pose! Everything is good, except the eyebrows that could be a little higher (check yourself in a mirror: see how the eyebrows seem to come closer to your eyes when you bend the head forward, and how they move away visually when you bend your head backward!) Second sheet, general recommandations:Overal very good! Just pay attention to the symmetry of the face: don't hesitate to put your drawing in front of a mirror to help your brain spot mistakes. Third sheet, general recommandations: Here again, be careful about the face symmetry, and you tend to draw the eyes a little too far apart here (remember: there's only one eye distance in between the two eyes). Otherwise your characters have nice expressions! Thank you for posting your project, I was very happy to see your work! And don't hesitate if you have questions.

Thank you so much for your input and recommendations!
