Dessin de portrait : se concentrer sur les blocages

Hi Sophie, Thank you so much for sharing your work!  This is a solid block-in. I like the commitment to the straight lines in the construction as the drawing has a nice structural feel to it. All your features have good overall alignment as well which is tricky with a straight on pose. The only area that jumps out a little is the left nostril on the nose where maybe it was a little hard to tell what was going on in the shadow. In those kinds of situations depending on how dark the shadow is and how much I can actually see, I might simplify the information down and draw less. Now if things are clearly visible then I’d use the information from the light side of the nose (in this instance) to help me mirror that information that’s in shadow to help solve that area. I hope that makes sense. Otherwise, this is great! I think maybe one other suggestion to help the drawing would be to observe any areas where you see overlapping lines like the hair separating from the head, the face from the neck,etc. Think about varying line quality to show things coming in front of one another. This will just give you some variety as well as show more distinct separations of the forms in the head. I hope this helps, and keep it up! These are great exercises to practice and are nice to do when you don’t have a ton of time to do a fuller rendered drawing!

Thanks a lot to take your time to help me and give me advices
