@mdbauman - You are one zillion percent correct.. I kept skipping out on background details for no really good reason. A still-life should probably capture all of that information lol, and it would actually help me shape the object and light source properly. I didn't even think of the light source really, just the details I was getting. The next time I make one, I'm going to take all of that information into account for sure. Thanks a lot for that comment :), helps me out a lot.
The next lesson is to draw something you're bad at 100 times, I chose faces. I've been spending about 10 minutes on each.. Sometimes more if I forget to pay attention to the time, sometimes a little less. I had given up on the andrew loomis head structure for a long time, with the circle/half-circle thing, and that really screwed up proportions for me. I have a really really hard time with eyes and foreshortening on lips. Any tips for drawing the face better would be great :D!
