First time Doing Reilly Method and ThoughtsI recently just learned Reilly method and told to trace it on asaro head . The activity is super amazing on familiaring you on planes of the head features.
As you turn into sideview tho , I found that it will be harder to implement as the strength of the method being rhythms would be harder to implement as you go on side angle because the cues on proportions would be way different .
Still super interesting method and would love to practice this exercise more .
Critiques and Tips are super welcome . Will implement criticisms.

Hey, those constructions look great! It seems like you are looking for the correct cues on the head and face for these constructions, so the only advice I can give you regarding this exercise, is keep doing it regularly.
There are some other 2 tips I would give you. You mention that you did some minor revisions on some of these at the end of the session, if it was just to add a little bit of detail so it captures the portrait better, that's fine, If you had to reconstruct some part of the head so it looked more proportioned, do so wisely and not so often, it may become a habit that turn time sessions kind of pointless if you don't respect the time limit (just something to keep in mind, since it happened to me! xd).
Secondly, you may want to add to your pool of exercises some head gesture drawing, when focusing too much on the loomis head it's kind of difficult to deviate from the formula, so you can be more fuid and expressive with the drawing. For applying gesture to the head I recommend Steve Huston (there's a 3 hr youtube video on the New masters's academy channel where he does some demonstrations).
You are on your way, keep practicing and experimenting!
2 mins quick sketches with some minor revisions on some at the end of the session , critiques or tips about my loomis construction or even general feedback is very welcome.
