added comment in3D Model: The Loomis Head
Is there a way to tip the head backwards in profile? I can get it to move in every other direction.

Asked for help
When drawing from observation is getting the correct line you observe just pure intuition ? If you are not measuring.
I feel like i have been really overthinking drawing from observation lately.
Are you guys focusing hard on the line you are seeing on your subject and going line by line until your done. Or do you interpret the shape of your subject more and try to copy ?
I hope this made any sense.
I feel like the awnser is that you guys dont really think about it and just pull your line and im overthinking it.
For what it's worth, since I'm also a novice, I start with the longest curve I see. For the Picasso bull that was the back, for the da Vinci horse it was the neck. I think the way Jeff describes his process is probably the best way to do it and I hope I eventually learn how to see the shapes.

Hello,
I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I can't seem to play the video. It loads as "completed" with the blue check with no playback option. Thanks for all that you do!

How do you make the lines of the original line photo lighter for printing purposes?
Also, how do you take the original photo and turn it into just lines? I wan't to do more of this to practice with other photos and with photos I've taken. Do I need a certain app?
Carlye, I had to download the picture, open it in Photos on my PC laptop (that's the default when opening a picture), copying the image, and pasting it into a Word document. Once it's in Word, click on it and choose Picture Tools, which will appear once you click on the picture. You'll see Transparency as an option on the left on the toolbar. I'm running Windows 11 and whatever version of Word came with it. Things might be arranged differently in other versions. If you're using a Mac, I hope someone else can help you with it!
