Done as part of a practice session with poses of 10 minutes in length.

My current goal is: Improve my shading and rendering of light

Getting used to working more precisely from a Loomis foundation for a clearer idea, how all the smaller planes of a face are oriented

Nice and extraordinary job on your rendering of your planes, AuntHerbert, that's very genuine, indeed! Those planes look and feel very sculptural themselves.

If I could suggest you an improvement or two, it could be that your planes and forms are a bit too stiffer and too rigid here. Otherwise, they're very elegant and careful. Would you please do a lot of fastest and funniest sketches of the tones and heads and head shapes, with a half-hour of 14 second quick sketches of the heads and tones of the heads, huh?? (1800/14=129 quick sketches strictly for practice) Don't be discouraged that they'll be a recipie for disaster, but just get to it.

The reason why you could and should do this is because, as long as you do a lot of quickest warm-ups, then any of your facial tones and shapes will become the most solidest, fluidest and liveliest.

Good luck to you, and I hope these'll all help.
