Portrait of Proportion redux

So the second part of the lesson on proportion was to draw a portrait in profile using a live subject. I was a bit skeptical of my ability to pull this off. I know that I have gone out on own my own to test my progress, but that was different because I was deliberately off task, so failure was not only ok, it was expected. So far, I feel like I have been relatively successful at all of the assignments set forth by the book. This one was the first one that I thought I might not be ready for.

I selected my boyfriend as a subject. I figured that it would not be so hard to get him to sit still in profile on TV night. The result was not that bad. He feels like it is a true likeness; I do not. If I had never seen him and then saw the drawing, I might think that the drawing was really good. However, I don't think that it is a true likeness, so from that perspective, I am not truly happy with it. But the fact that it looks like a real human in proportion is a success that is not lost on me.
