I drew jeffrey today and thought it would be a good excerise for me to familiarize myself with human anatomy. Will it work?
Rate my work of the day btw, spent 15 minutes on this jeff and some more on polishing. How can i improve? I tried to avoid symbol drawing as much as possible.

Lacks fundamentals, basic understanding of shapes, forms and proportions. Could be Jeffrey Epstein, Steve Martin, Leslie Nielsen, George W. Bush, it has 0 likeness to the subject.
Solid work for a 3 year old, or a complete beginner drawing (like a month or so). If you are a regular on this site you can fuck off and put more effort in your drawings.

Solid work for a 73 year old, or a complete master drawing (like a century or so). If you are a regular on this site you can stay here and put less effort in your drawings.

Tried one in pencil and I failed, my reference it was too high resolution and I don't know how to render in pencil
So I decided to do one in charcoal but couldn't capture the likeness

you use the side thats rounded down/without edge and slowly fill it up and give more pressure to darker areas and try to blend it with the lighter ones. obviously for effect you'd want a cool reference with some chiaroscuro, for a better effect. then, if you have a scanner, you can still adjust the contrasts to make it look better/closer to reality and not a cheap scan (i use a cheap 7 year old office-document scanner). i havent drawn in a month or so though, so here is an older one of mine to see how i do it.

He posted this in anticipation of my drawing (autistic hand coordination plus just started drawing 3days ago)
