I used the blue drawing as a base in Procreate to make a better line drawing then used the iPad as the light box to trace the lines on the new paper. I used this road atlas page, but that definitely limited the materials I could use since the paper is thin. Really appreciate learning your techniques and look forward to experimenting more with them!

Great assignment! Probably the blue one is most accurate. Because of beauty standards in Hollywood it was tougher to find many well-known older woman actors who were able to age naturally. So I searched authors and politicians and chose a favorite author from her later years with her signature haircut.

Finally finished my Bette Davis. Her original eyes were too cartoony so I pasted on some new ones. 👀

I might not be finished with this, but it's as far as I can get for now. Thanks, Lewis. It's a great class.

I made my portraits so large, I had to add them to larger backgrounds. So a bit of a collage project, 11x14". Loads of fun making this today, thank you Lewis. I have one more to do before I try this some more beyond class.

# data[].attributes.body
Had a blast. Thanks Lewis!

# data[].attributes.body
Worked so hard for this one, I learnt a ton, with trying to draw him 7 times... through the lessons. But I could not be happier with it. Thank you Lewis for your great course. I love your style and admire your work. Thank you so much! Any tipps welcome!

# data[].attributes.body
I love this ! Totally Happy with it... still struggling with designing the whole piece!

# data[].attributes.body
Going to pull out the light box tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.body
I know it's only rock and roll... I mean,art.... but I like it! Amazed by all the great portraits everyone has done. Realy enjoyed the class Lewis!

# data[].attributes.body
Had so much fun in this class and learned a lot!

Collage is such a mystery to me.  I might try Sean before the weekend is out, but if I don't -- thanks for a great class Lewis!  I really enjoyed the exercises.

# data[].attributes.body
I had to remind myself to concentrate on the values instead of lines. Will try another because it's good practice and I like charcoal.

# data[].attributes.body
OK, I'm moving on to the next lesson now!

# data[].attributes.body
Whoo, this was tricky. Lesson 3, may try another, less glamorous subject before moving onto the next lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Finally Im happy with Anthony! I felt doing the linework inthe second picture was a bit difficult and it looks a bit dead...but hm there' s still the next Lesson.....

# data[].attributes.body
Lightbox. Curious to see where the next lesson takes us!

Lightbox tracing

# data[].attributes.body
Well, my makeshift lightbox worked! Took four battery-powered LED tap lights, put them on a shoebox lid, then placed it all under a square clear plastic bin. Traced this as quick as I could. I'm pretty happy with the result. Left is original FrankenKeef, right is trace.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow, I so loved this and after the struggle with Anthony Hopkins, I'm so happy with the result of this second portrait ...can you guess who it is?

# data[].attributes.body
Draw a picture,then trace it with light box

Left is line/frankenstein portrait (redone and body added). Right is vine charcoal portrait (new person).

# data[].attributes.body
This was so fun Lewis. I'm a first time portrait artist so my brain hurts and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for the challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
I struggled with this one. I feel like the more I iterate, the worse things get. Lewis, any tips on revising work?

# data[].attributes.body
Here’s my “frankenstein” for assignment #3.

# data[].attributes.body
Cool idea , i didn|t have any tracing paper/ hence normal one / I enjoyed this very much and learnt a lot!

# data[].attributes.body
Believe it or not this is the same person 3 x - attention span problems hence the nonsense in the left corner ….. I started with eyes on bottom left (closest, but looks in drag) - bottom right started with mouth and it became Gerard Butler then nose top right and it became George Bush ha ha …… so much fun

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry for double post - didn’t realize I was anonymous

# data[].attributes.body
Lewis is awesome

# data[].attributes.body
First one ended up being the one.

# data[].attributes.body
To be honest, I would not recognize him. I realized at the very end, that his shape of the head is unique and i think the second  on the top has the biggest similarity. I also struggled with the lips , actually they were not  so defined - but i had no clue how to draw what I do not see... mmh

# data[].attributes.body
Started with nose, face, eye, mouth respectively. The one I thought was the worst (bottom left) ended up being the closest in likeness (I think) once I scribbled it in. Maybe scribbling's the answer.

# data[].attributes.body
First assignment! My wife guessed about half -

# data[].attributes.body
Struggled with my paper “real estate”. Not the most recognizable celeb but maybe the top two capture some likeness?

# data[].attributes.body
And fourth

# data[].attributes.body
Third one

# data[].attributes.body
Second sketch

# data[].attributes.body
I like the feel of the pencil for sketching. I use it similarly to a pen.

# data[].attributes.body
Was struggling a bit, so took most of the weekend to re-focus. Here's my creation, ready for the next steps...

# data[].attributes.headline
Hope you can figure out who this is. Definitely more of a challenge for me as I'm pretty new to this.

They seemed to get progressively worse.  Upper left is probably the closest likeness, upper right is way off. I mean, I don't even know who that guy is.

# data[].attributes.body
The first time I tried this assignment, I got overly tight and stressed when trying to choose people, so today I started again and chose characters from one television show. Onto the second assignment...

# data[].attributes.headline
I'm a little short--might post a couple more tomorrow!

This was fun. Cool how a lot of us thought of some of the same familiar faces!

# data[].attributes.headline
I watched the rest of the video and did some more. I used characters as well as celebrities. Super fun👏

Fun lesson--makes me think of distinctive features to highlight.

# data[].attributes.body
Fun assignment. Looking forward to the next one!

# data[].attributes.body
I put a bit too much on the top left face, oops. This is fun😄

Did some crude photoshopping to see if I could remove some details and still have them be recognizable. I tried removing the eyes on the blonde, but I don't think the mouth and face shape were enough to convey likeness.

# data[].attributes.body
Too much detail on some? Fun exercise. (jwroten)

# data[].attributes.body
waited soo long for it ;.) I really enjoyed it. First time here , Ihave no clue how this platform works- With the guessing I was less lucky: my husband did not get one right - but never mind

# data[].attributes.body
Should I give some hints?
