[week 2] 3 to 5-minute poses!

can you do more of all tilts and inlination skull as bonus? I dont want to imagine every direction. I need a solid fundation...

Still struggeling with jaws and a getting the perspective of the side plane oval correct when the head is leaning back

I've found a cool exercise for this that really helps me learn to visualize heads from gestures before drawing them. It builds from a warmup exercise: 1. Draw a page of circles. I did 7 rows of 5 circles for example. (Craniums) 2. Draw a straight line through each of them, trying not to get too horizontal. I like to skip around the circles to keep everything free flowing. (Tilts) 3. Add a small curve at the bottom/lower third. (Neck gesture) 4. Draw an ellipse inside the circle that is perpendicular to the line. (Perspective) You now have a page full of random head gestures. Try to develop these into heads that fit the gestures as naturally as possible. I've excluded gestures for the shoulders because that made it too difficult for me to invent fitting heads.

Helped me a lot when I realized that the whole tentacle has to follow the shading too.

Only 33% through this course and look at that! I think that perspective and scale is still my biggest weakness, but I suspect that just needs a little bit of time to work intuitively and fast.
