Hey guys. Here is my assignement for this video feel free to tell me what i did wrong.
@halbodude
Hey guys here are some ears i drew. Feel free to criticize them.
Kristian Nee
Hey Halbodude, these are neat! The way you're handling form is really nice, and I can get the impression that you're painting an ear. What I'd say is to focus more on learning the anatomy of the ear. Right now they look more like a strange piece of fruit, not an ear. I'm not ear expert, but I think if were to study more ears it would do a lot to make these more successful.

Nice work! I'd add more definition to the contour and make the tragus more prominent.

Hey guys here are some lipe i did feel free to give me some advice

Hi @halbodude I attached a brief paint over for some of your sketches. For the first one, I just wanted to illustrate that the highlight hitting the lips should be a much smaller area. Most of the lips is going to be kept in a halftone shade, and the highlights should be reserved for the small areas where the light will bounce off of the lips and hit directly into the eye. Additionally, just be aware of the centerline of your lips in 3/4. It shouldn't be going straight down, and should instead follow a curve because of that bloated tuna can shape that Stan mentions in his construction video. For the second image, I just adjusted the shape of the curve where the philtrum meets the lips, and darkened the area of shadow where you'd see the teeth. In general, when painting lips, try to stay away from a hard edge for the silhouette. The area where the lip transitions into the mouth creates a bit of a softer edge, so keep that in mind for your paintings. Keep up the good work! Let me know if there is anything that I can clear up for you

Hi here are some nothes I did while following the nose videos.
Christopher Lebreault
Hey @halbodude how's it going? You didn't ask for any feedback but I see you checked the asked for help button so hopefully this feed back is useful. I see some good stuff here that you can definitely build upon to improve your work. Structure is very important, and I see that you are making an attempt to get that structure accurate. But the structure is what we will have to work on here. Here are two places I can pointing this out to you. If you take anything away from my crit it would be these words. Structure and planes. your structured examples, the bridge of the nose (blanking on the name) is supposed to have two planes, one that slightly tilt up to the middle and then tilt down. Yours is missing that. Pay close attention to what you are seeing and studying and try to feel that as you draw. The next is your nostrils. Stan points out that they are to two holes, that the curve in. I'm see you try to do that with the wings kind of curving in, but there is a huge emphasis placed on the nostrils and the perspective wouldn't work this way. I hope this helps
@halbodude
Here are some eyes i drew while watching Stan's videos. Fell free to give me some advice on them.
Bradwynn Jones
Nice work! You can draw a single line down the forehead and over the forms of the eye lids, eye ball and down over the cheeks. This helped me to think about all the different planes of the forms. It's satisfying to do also. lol
@halbodude
Hi huys, I tried to replicate prokos drawing in this video. Don't hesitate to tell me what you think of it.
Sylvianna Reynaud
You did a great job, especially with the left drawing. For the right one, I think you could add some of the back of the head.
@halbodude
Hey guys i tried to replicate prokos methode demonstrated in this video with mediocre succes. Fell free to give me some feedback.
Christopher Lebreault
João gave some great advice, I just want to second it! There are some wins here! The drawing is clean, not much "chicken scratch." Keep up the good work
Dennis Yeary
it kinda looks like it missing depth. Best advice try drawing objects first it should help

First thing: Don't be so hard on yourself. As far as the exercise goes you did cut the ball accordingly and you did split the thirds correctly. The face is wide and round but this kind of face is possible. I don't know if that was your intention but in case if wasn't: pay attention to the shape of the jaw and how much you cut from the sides. Also the final silhouette of the head. You can adjust these parameters to get thinner or more square heads. Second, I think you are putting the features too early. The primary intent of exercising with the loomis method is to understand the head as a 3D structure. Focus on get the construction right. Right now, i think you're just replicating the lines but you're not thinking about the volumes of the ball of the head and the box for the jaw. Practice the 3/4 view because it's the best to understand this concept. Third and Final. Practice this a lot. Use the 3D model. Trace these lines over real heads. This take time to absorb. I remember start getting this after the 100th try. So don't get discouraged. Best Regards

Hi halbodude, I really like your line quality and the fact that you color coded your lines. Your proportions are really solid throughout all the heads you drew so be very proud of that!! There is still room for improvement in the perspective department. I would suggest turning a much simpler form, the cube is perfect for this. The logic of turning a cube in space is the exactly the same as turning the loomis head in space. Both have front, side, top and bottom planes. But! since the loomis head has ellipses and curvilinear shapes, the deegree of difficulty is a lot higher than the cube. I suggest turning the cube in space as a warm up exercise and come back to the loomis head, you will definitely see some improvement in a short amount of time.
