CathV

#1 for the teeth which are hard to do nicely, #2 for the angle of the head, and #5 for the character in his face. Thanks Scottie.

Jennifer

#1 for teeth, #3 for head angle, but I’d be happy with any of them.

Joni K

At the moment, it looks like #1 won’t win, but please do #1. I’d love to learn how to tackle that toothy smile! 😁

Bill

#5 & #8 because they are interesting, #7 for facial expression. Any of the eight would be great.

Karen

#1 for short hair, glasses and teeth, #5 so interesting to cram all those features in a small space, #8 a typical, “lived in” face.

Mary L Doty

#1- teeth can go wrong really fast, #5 &#8 - are both interesting, always interested in how much attention to pay to expression lines.

Roz

2,5,8 seem to have more Interesting characteristics, maybe because of lives longer lived.

Lorna Graham

#2 #5 #8 and especially #5. Love the bright red turban. All 3 have interesting faces, looking forward to it 😍

Elmer

1.3.8

Petra

1#-5#-8# ...I want to learn the smile with teeth, but I like them all.

Annika

#1 because of her open mouth smile, conveying teeth is hard # 2 because of the angle, the glasses and the white facial hair and #8 because it’s difficult to convey and older person with lines sagging skin

Stéphanie

#1 for the smile with teeth #5 for the expression lines #7 for the emotion In general what I find the most difficult is to be ressemblant enough, without getting overwhelmed by details… Conveying expressions is also quite hard. Thanks, looking forward to this !

Jerry T. Stevens

I included 1 and 3 because they have teeth showing, and 2 because of the facial hair.

Julia Gruber

I think 3 looks very challenging, I would love to know how to do that one...

Mayela Fonseca

I like 2, 5 and 6. I was only able to choose one, I thought we could choose 3.

James Furse

4, 5 and 7 please! I struggle with hair. Especially long hair where it ends and how to put some texture into the body of it.

Judy G

4-7-8

Karen Ericka Newby

3-5-8, I like the challenge of the different features in these faces ; facial hair, headwear and skin tone. How am I going to render them as a complete beginner 😨

Michelle Moody

Ok 2, 5, and 8 are winning but they are all older adults. Every person I try to draw looks older so that shouldn’t be a challenge. 🤣 I struggle to make people look youthful. Please consider #3.

Ben

4,5,8! Super interesting features

Marie Cornelis

oups...pour moi le 2 et le 6 Merci!!!

Hilda Martinez Brown

Scottie, when are you going to do this profile sketch tutorial ?

patricia p smith

How do you measure for the width of the face compared to the length? Thanks
