The level of artwork in the community forums gets better and better. Wow. I learned so much about anatomy by listening to your critiques. I like you emphasize form/3D drawing. It's a good reminder.

Thank you and other New Masters Academy instructors very much for your critic. It is very helpful in create a better art perception. Notably dealing with realistic figuration.

Great teachers, great professionals. I joined NMA during one year and it was great.
Hope to enroll again soon

I think in the left is from an old french movie Le passion Jean Darc

Interesting. Haven't seen that film. I thought it might be Tilda Swinton. -Joshua

[@adrianomazzanti5623]

Hi guys, you are both right. She is tilda Swinton who plays the character of Joan of Arc in a short film i found on the web time ago: ruclips.net/video/J2Zajvjm4LI/видео.html. PS: Joshua, many thanks in advance for your critique. I don’t know, but maybe the video could be useful to you as reference to correct my drawing’s mistakes

@@adrianomazzanti5623 Thanks for letting me know and thanks for submitting you work. I am trying to talk about big structural issues with the heads in this vid so likeness won't come up. -Joshua

@@adrianomazzanti5623 It's pretty incredible how, even without seeing the reference, he nails the critique everywhere. I've checked the reference and it's pretty accurate. Which is why understanding these principles is so powerful ;)

[@ianbanks3016]

@@NewMastersAcademyorgNMA Yeah, that first one is definitely a still from a film called the Passion of Joan of Arc by Carl Dreyer.
