In this video, I'll explain the top 3 mistakes in portraits that I have made and I see students have made in the past. Fortunately, all of these are easily rectified with a good sequence of exercises.

Note that one of the mistakes is about the use of systems like the Loomis head or Reilly rhythms. This is not because those systems are not good - I think they are great - it's more about jumping to those systems and overrelying on them before making your own observations.
