Nice work, I like the shapes and I think the small blue color notes you put in the 2nd picture are pretty interesting :)

Does anyone actually use the Loomis head to draw real portraits? Or is it primarily used to come up with "made up" heads?
I've still got a lot of work to do to understand the Loomis head with it's planes, proportions and all. But I've recently tried using it as the "base foundation" for drawing or sketching real portraits.
Put another way, I can use the Loomis head to come up with all sorts of interesting and bizarre looking heads, but as soon as I try using it to duplicate an image of someone elses head, it doesn't come out right. And then I need to resort to going back to proportions and contours as opposed to designing the Loomis head and "drawing the parts on" like a Mr. or Mrs. Potato head.
Are there any expert constructive head critics who are able to break down some of my head structure mistakes?
I have a tough time making my heads not look like round baby heads - I've read through Loomis and the first parts of the head course and for some reason I keep constructing heads that seem to be too round.
And also constructing the "ear to bottom of chin vs ear/cheek/front chin" areas. Either my head keeps coming up looking "flat" or the chin to neck area looks abnormal. Thanks!
