Painting Light and Shadow - Exercise!

This was such an informative class about painting light and shadow and I had a lot of fun doing these projects! First, I traced over an image in a magazine of a man with a pen to practice outlining the planes of the head. Then, I moved on to a picture I found off of Pinterest and I drew it with a mixture of colored pencils, watercolors, and pens. The proportions of the face are a bit off and the coloring of the skin as well as the light and background aren't nearly as saturated and detailed as those in the photograph but I tried my best! Thank you so much for this class and any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated! Below from top to bottom is the planes of the head exercise, the reference photo that I drew from as well as my finished drawing
