After drawing the young asian man (I previously posted it under a different thread- Thanks for the feedback!!) and viewing the critique video, I decided to always try to spend a couple of minutes doing a thumbnail first, while "squinting" to help with composition and blocking-in the values. This photo is from the Proko Art Sample Pack- Pose 004. Comparing side-by-side, I now see that I should have made the size of the top part of his head, from forehead to back of head, a bit deeper. Any suggestions on how to represent the thinning swirls of hair on top? I was trying to stay within the limits of the goals of the lesson (5 values, geometric, not too detailed etc)

Drawing Basics- Demo- Simplify Human figure from Observation. Well, I thought I'd give my first human head EVER a try. OMG-- I think I'll stick to pears! I guess the Loomis head will be my next course. SO HARD to stick to 5 shades! I tried really hard to avoid "spaghetti hair"
