I wrote ~5000 words on what 40 hours of studying drawing can do. I know my drawing is not great, but it has improved considerably, and I believe it is a story worth sharing.

You dive in the deep end and draw human faces the objectively hardest thing to draw because our brains are finely tuned to read faces.

I like both of these drawing. The second one is more sophisticated in how the light and shadow are rendered. But I love the boldness of the glasses on the first one.

@futurebird thank you! Human faces are endlessly fascinating to look at, I think. They seem simple and familiar, but there are so many little details we miss when we just stop after our brain captures the gestalt of the face. You know, the kind of "AHH, I know this face, so I know this person, but something is different about them, but I can't tell what, probably new haircut"
