I enjoyed doing this and would like to improve
I am just a beginner, but truly enjoying these sessions
Scott, Thanks for the online lesson, I just start to learn how to draw protrait, It’s very hard !!!
I think the face is too thin on the first one but maybe overcorrected on the next try. Learning a lot. Thanks for the classes.
Hello from France !!
You’re doing great, Irene! Keep it up!
I’m glad to hear it! Nice work!
Wonderful work here!
Great job, Vickie!
Nicely done! The proportions look good and you’re observing the shapes of light and shadow well!
Great job! The structure of the features is wonderful. In particular, the mouth is amazing!
Nicely done, Melinda!
Very nice work with this! I love seeing how you’re building the portrait through light and shadow shapes!
Great job here! Thank you for posting it!
This looks great, Giselle! Nice value control and structure to the portrait. You captured his expression well!
My man portrait. Great practice! Thanks Scott!
Challenging lesson. I think I stretched his features somewhat.
Learnt a lot of new techniques.
Thank you Scott!!
This is my Portrait of a Man in charcoal. His nose is a little long. Fun doing this.
Sorry. Unable to upload.

Wish I could edit that! That pic is before I finished working. Here’s the final one 🙂
Real challenge! I shared over on the Facebook page and thought I’d share here, too. Graphite.
Here is my version of Oh Man. No resemblance to the man in the reference photo. Enjoyed the class and thanks Scott for doing all these for us.
This was done on Strathmore Heavy Duty Drawing paper using mostly 8B and 6B graphite with a wee touch of charcoal.
My man portrait
Thanks Scott
Vickie Gann
Enjoyed drawing man.
This was difficult but really enjoyable. Thanks for the lessons!
Needless to say, Scott’s portrait of a man, is outstanding. Mine is a portrait of a man, but not sure which man. I need to try harder
