Thank you for not just giving up. This drawing shows me that you are trying hard to observe and you're definitely starting to see more and differently than back in August. The thumb especially shows that you're looking for things you used to not bother noticing. Try to relax, look for shapes while imagining things are flattened on an imaginary "picture-plane." The fact that you're still drawing so small tells me that you're afraid of messing up. Observe and record simultaneously (and slowly). Imagine things are flat and two dimensional, don't worry about making them look three dimensional at first. Try to blend and "model" the shading to make it look 3D. Above all trust the process.
If you want to see if you can do better, get more practice and get a better grade, you can work on it more during the holidays and hand it in before Christmas. https://classroom.google.com/c/NzkxODM5NjMyMDk3/a/ODIwNTc2OTQ4MzQz/details

Everyone is encouraged to re-read pp.46-48 in 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain' and repeat this exercise as often as you want to to build both your perceptual skills and your mental L-to-R mode shifting skills. Everyone is also welcome to re-submit this assignment (decorating, filling with zentangle, expressing & interpreting the positive & negative spaces of the vase/face illusion) for a higher grade before the end of the semester.
Pretty good first try, a little mottled (see, there's that word) but lots of people have done a lot worse in the past (including me), You could practice if you want, Maybe try the shorter (portrait/vertical) way like Catcher did (by accident), you got some obvious brush strokes going the long (landscape/horizontal) way that I had everyone try.
Nice style
Didn't Christian Scott have us add quite a bit of white on the eye? Did it go too fast? Was it hard to keep up or just hard to stay engaged?
