Hey, Jessie. NIce work! I can see that your proportions improved and the angles are more close to the references. I would like to comment on the third and forth photos because I think you misinterpreted the photos. On the third photo he's not raising his head, the camera is actually below his face and we are seeing the bottom of his jaw. The forth she's not looking up. She's actually bending her head laterally and a little back bringing it closer to the shoulder. If we ignore the neck is almost the same case of looking the head from below. But this time on an angle. About more advice, I would like to give you a way of self-evaluate your own work. After doing the exercise I would like you to trace a Loomis head over the reference photo. If you're working digitally use a new layer on photoshop, clipstudio, etc. If you're working traditionally, use tracing paper and do the same thing. Compare to what you did and re-do the head this time correcting the mistakes. As you move the head the shape of the jaw will change and so are the thirds. We have a tendency of straightening up stuff and measuring everything equally. I think tracing over after you done the exercise gives you a quick assessment on how these changes occur and what you did wrong. When tracing It's very important that you trace in the same order that you draw (at least in the beginning) . Don't stress over the oval on the side as it's always difficult to fit in a photo. Focus on the jaw shape, the angle and distance of the thirds and the angle brow to ear. And don't forget to re-do the exercise after you trace as this is the time you commit information to memory. Keep drawing, Best regards.

Hey, Jessie Great job here. I saw that I criticized one of your earlier assignments. It's good to see that you're still working. Your heads are feeling more solid than the last time. The main issue here it's measuring. You're constantly drawing the bottom third way too big and some times the lines are crooked. One example is your second one. The line of the brow and the eyes should be more parallel. The third one the angle is too exaggerated, and the last one the angle of the face is too straight, the line for the chin is too big (I think that the center line is in the right place but the way it is on the chin it looks off center) In this stage of the drawing you want establish the main angles and lines. If you draw crooked lines and don't measures you end up with crooked features that don't look the right size. The last 3 pictures are very good for you to exercise this placements. As you're drawing again I would like you to focus on the measuring. In the photo, use your pencil to measure the angle from the ear to the brow to find the angle of the horizontal line of the oval and the angle and from brow to brow for the angle of the front of the face. Make sure that your perfect thirds are the same size. And always check if the brow, eyes, nose and chin lines are parallel. It's more important to mindfully practice these measurements so you can develop a more intuitive understanding of the head than mindlessly drawing thousand of heads. Attention and patience are key. Keep drawing Best regards

Hi @Jessie James, these look pretty nice. I like the angularity; gives a chiseled and strong look. - The smaller planes you indicate, give a nice sence of form. The problem is that the major structure and proportions are off. In image 1 for example, the brow line is very heigh up; it should be in the middle of the ball. This makes the planes you've indicated end up in the wrong place. Would you mind doing some pure loomis heads, either from reference (include the photos when you post) or imagination? It would also be great if you could save an image for each part of the process, so I can see if there is anything in your process that throws you off Cheers!

Hi @Jessie James, I like these drawings! Good job with the structure! I'll try to look for things to help you further: - I think you would appreciate reading the critiques I gave to Tobias Höglund's first two posts https://www.proko.com/profile/tobias_hoglund/activity (scroll down to the bottom of the page) There might be some stuff in there that can be of help to you I hope this was helpful :) Keep up the good work!

Hello Jessie! that looks good enough as a start. I think if you did them daily while focusing on the proportions, you will definitely get it perfectly.
