In your drawing you went with a very slanted forehead and the back of the skull pulled back. In the reference I see the opposite, a very vertical forehead and back of the head. I feel you'd capture the essence of the subject better if you tried it the other way around.
@wickedtuna
I see what you mean with that. Thanks for the input

Glen Keane study I never got around to posting cuz it was past the deadline. Figured why not post it anyways

Hey there! I like how you captured Glen Keane's free-flowing quality and variation in weight. He's a great master to study especially for line. One thing to note as you learn off of his work is his use of construction lines. In this example, you can notice how he lays in guidelines around the face to capture the correct angle as it tilts backwards. He does this lightly, but it lays a solid foundation for the rest of the work to follow and gives insight into his process. Something to keep an eye out for in the future. Keep up the great work! :)

Saw someone doing Glen Keane studies and was inspired. Making clean lines and sticking to them instead of just searching all the time is really hard. Feel like i have to do a thousand of these before i can make lines anywhere near as confident as he does, and that's probably the only way to do it lol. I do feel like i got to practice line weight with thickness and values tho. Great exercice!

Did a study after a panel from one of Jim Woodring's comics (Weathercraft). Definitely didn't get the proportions right but the exercise was about lines so. Lots of tapering pointy lines, really made me want to get one of those ink brush-pens, must be really good to practice lines!
