WHERE ARE THE COOKIES? MOTHERFUCKER
Hi, here's my final submission. :)
I used colored pencils and a ballpoint pen. It was fun, and I'm happy with the final result.
Thanks to Proko and the Proko team for organizing the challenge.
Happy New Year! :D

Hello. I have been slowly drawing loomis's guidelines for the head and I have a few questions about its application if anyone has time to answer.
First, when drawing the initial sphere, are you attempting to make the circle the same size as what you see on screen, or are you drawing an arbitrarily large sphere to trying to draw the face by scaling up/down the features of the face? Is the difference insignificant, or is there one that you would recommend beginners to start with?
Second, is their a tip for getting the flat oval of the side of the face right?
I imagine much of this will come down to mileage, but any advice would be appreciated. Here are a few of my drawings from today

Hello Rek
Drawing the head is difficult and it takes time. I would recommend you to focus on the basic shapes of the head, the features look good but if the head doesn't have the right shape, the face is going to look weird.
Try to ignore the secondary shapes and focus on the skull (the ball) and the jaw.
Also make sure to place the centerline and thirds in the direction similar to the reference just like Steve mentioned :) . Check out the playlist on how to draw the head: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL39135B8D190B7C97&si=EtSpMwRafyCH1QsW

Hi Jesse, nice drawings :)
In my opinion I would recommend you to focus on the basic shapes of the head. The rendering is going well but there are certain parts that don't line up correctly. Remember that (in general) you have to draw the primary shapes first.

Homework Dump #7|I always have trouble with heads tilting/looking up. Any advice on that would be much appreciated.
Hi Dooby, nice drawings :)
As for drawing tilting/looking up heads, think about the relationship of the center line and the vertical line of the side plane (the line that divides the oval).
If the head is moving, both lines should follow the same direction. It is also helpful to see the head as a box, make sure that the thirds in the frontal plane connect with the lateral plane and that both parts follow their respective directions. Check the video How to draw the head from extreme angles: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PgK90TpV5fA&pp=ygUQZHJhd2luZyB0aGUgaGVhZA%3D%3D
I hope you find it helpful
Cheers :)

Physical health of the artist
The posture we should maintain sitting or standing, what stretching we can do before and after to help the back muscles.
What care we should take with our eyes after a long day of study.
