Don’t get ahead of yourself, which will only lead to frustration. Start with a simple, high-contrast body part, and follow the steps in order. It won’t be long before you can tackle more challenging images.

Remember that the whole idea with the Bargue exercises is to learn through repetition. Mistakes are part of the learning process and should never be interpreted as failure.

While working on a drawing, use these helpful techniques to check your progress:
Squint. Blurring your vision will help you gauge contrast between values.

Turn the drawing upside down occasionally. This helps to provide a fresh perspective and allows you to see shapes more abstractly.

Step away frequently to observe your drawing from a distance. sometimes i take a picture with my phone and see the result .then continue .

Use a small ,cut-out window, on a blank piece of paper to isolate areas and compare them to your copy.
