Hi, here would be another try after some practicing. Some help would be great. Thanks.

Especially the upward tillt and the shape of the jaw does not work out for me. Could you give some help please? thanks

Hi Marco, sorry I couldn't get to this when you posted 2 weeks ago, but I hope you'll find this helpful. I attached an image to better explain what could be adjusted in your head drawings. The good and bad news about head at extreme angles is that they're always going to be difficult to draw. Good news being that even most pros will find this difficult, bad news being...well its always going to be difficult. Additionally, I think posting your reference for your head drawings will be helpful for giving you more helpful feedback going forward, so we can point to exactly where things can be adjusted to match the reference. My last point is going to be about good mileage/practice. I admire your discipline in that you were able to knock out over 30 head drawings, that takes a lot of dedication! If I can offer a suggestion for your practice however, it would actually be to draw less heads, and take your time with them. I think a good starting point would be to draw 5 really good heads a day. Put a 5-7 minute timer when drawing each one, and try your best to take the full 5-7 minutes to make sure that the angles and proportions are as close to perfect as they can be. People always say that 'practice makes perfect', but really, 'perfect practice' is what makes perfect. If you can eventually combine perfect practice with the amount of mileage that you were putting in before, then I have no doubt that your skills will skyrocket. Sorry again that this response is two weeks late, but I hope this helps! Let me know if I can help out with extreme head angles facing downward as well.

Hi. I tried some Loomis heads. I am still struggling with it.

Hey! Great start, Marco! As this is your first post, so it is mine! I wanted it to try this. So, why don't I start with quick feedback! I love what Stan and you guys are doing here, so I'm really flattered to be part of it. So without any further to announce, let see if I can help you with that. You are doing great! Try to get more clarity on your volumes. Basically, what you need to use here are cylinders, boxes, and of course, some overlaps. So my advice for you would be, take your time to get those volumes clear. Are they coming towards us? Are they going away? What's in front and what's in the back? If you translate those 3D volumes to the 2D surfaces correctly, this mannequin you are doing will look more convincing. I hope this helps a little bit. :) <3
