Focussing on planes, profiles and length of face. So these aren't homework, just trying to understand what I'm missing. There are lots more sketches than these but I think these show a bit of progress. And I know I'm still not quite getting it haha. Will pick up again tomorrow with planes part of homework.

@Dan Hudson yes I agree. I see a lot of thought in the drawing. The structure of the pen drawing is good.
Daily Practice (2nd of Feb)
I wasn't particularly productive in the last couple of days. I can show you all another fude pen and wash experiment that I did. It's a fun medium, but values are incredibly tricky to control. Also I really messed up the proportions on this one.

@Sergey B. Well done. The naturalism is very good. One thing that's not clear is the depth and space. Is her foot in front of her left hand? I'm not sure what the reference looked like, but camera lenses can throw off the optics of the naked eye.

@Sergey B. If her right foot is closest to us, to the naked eye the foot and ankle and calf and thigh would appear much larger than: 1. the front leg (L ) 2. the left arm and hand. Right now the left arm is the same size as the left leg which even in a static pose we know is impossible. Even the shoulder structure is larger than the hips. Her deltoid visually is the same size as the glute. A wide angle camera lens which this photographer used will compress that information. Look again, the scale is way off. This is where the artist must edit the photograph to create the effect they want. I don't know what effect you are after here, but I'm assuming you want some kind of feeling of naturalims and depth.
Are You Interested in My Model Photography?
Hi all, I'm finally taking the time to catalog my personal model photographs. I am planning to organize them into folders in my patreon group. I'd like to make this a regular monthly feature if you are interested. I'm not as prolific as Bryce Liston yet, but have a nice archive and am taking more and more photos every week. And I have good taste 😎 If you have any requests or ideas for model photos you are interested in, comment below. Thank you. I'm planning to do a male pro Muay Thai fighter soon. That will be epic!

@Andrew Hewertson Oh, thank you so much! Photography is a skill, just like drawing. It's not that easy and takes practice 😭, LOL.

@Sergey B. @Janet Abrahams Thank you! Hopefully this year, I will have my own proper studio with props, cool furniture and stuff. It will be very exciting.

With these studies I was specifically focusing on warm/cool and desaturating color to focus the highest saturation at the focal point.

Very nice. May the colors look fantastic! Good control of values and saturation. Well done. My one comment is the lemon bowl. Right now, it has a good level of finish everywhere, so it looks very, very flat. If you want, I would revisit this and do some lost-found, push-pull. Choose a focal point and make everything else subordinate.
