These are really fun. But I struggle to understand the value or lesson i should get out of it? Is it to attune the eyes to simpler values?

The point of this lesson is to be able to ignore details to see the big picture. It looks like you’re understanding it because these are all awesome little studies. Even the page layout is nice.

100 Heads Challenge By Ahmed Aldoori
Process: *20 minutes per head
*10 a day for 10 days (not strictly followed as I have a toddler 😄)
* I used Loomis Head Method as that is the only method I know for now(I will learn the other 2 methods in the future)
I did this as a challenge to get better and faster at making heads and it proves to be very challenging as I am bad at proportions and shading but I am willing to get better.
# tips, advices or critiques are very welcome
@Nicole Guz if I could give you the persistence award, I would! Do you have any favorite heads? Did you try something out and it worked well that you'd like to repeat in the future?

Steps I did:
1 Layin
2 Measurement check by putting the drawing above reference image
3 Applying Corrections
4 add details
Trying to study proportion and I was wondering if this is the way? Let me know if there are alternatives

These look great!
Here’s another way you can double check your proportions. Especially if there’s any photo distortion in the reference.
Put down the reference and step back from your drawing for a moment to notice how the whole figure fits together.
This will help you as you move along in your drawing journey. Keep it up! Thanks for sharing!

I usually use traditional but I dont have a transparent paper so i thought id do it in digital which prove to be very different and difficult for me. But let me know how I did!

Wow, these are great studies! I like how far you pushed some of these poses.
Your boxes look really nice. They bring a solid 3d form to the drawing that gets lost in some of the others. I think you could use more straight lines to balance this out.
Heres a quick demo to show you what I mean-
Keep it up! I like your drawings!!

More mannequin practice! My gestures look very stiff but keep working at it with gesture drawings. Aside from that which of my practice help to become better with gesture and perspective more efficiently? the first four or the last four. Any critiques or feedbacks are also welcome!
I think you're doing pretty good! Especially on those last 4, the gesture and the constructions is looking pretty great, and your lines are pretty clean! Cross contour lines properly indicating direction, and the pieces all seem to connect well! I'm no expert but if I had any advice to give is to doing more!

Did this before watching the example assignment just to challenge myself and so I could check where I went wrong. But even without checking it yet I can already see most if not all of my gestures are wrong or I ve made it too plain. And I am struggling to wrap my head around mannequinizing the erector spinae, lattisimus and shoulder blades. So I know i definitely need to practice all those. Let me know if theres anything else I didnt notice! Also if there is any tricks or tips on how you learned this. Thank you!

Simplification really helps in Mannequinization. Learning/developing shortform shapes for specific muscle groups will be beneficial in the long run. For example, here is an example of a simplified shape for the erector spinae muscle group. This is the muscle group at rest, so once you learn the shortform, you need to figure out how it moves with the body. There's a lot to learn, but it's all super interesting! I applied the shortform shape over your drawings. Hope this helps :)
