In this level 2 demo, I'll show you how to construct heads with accurate perspective and well defined 3D forms. I'll start by identifying the simple box of the head's orientation. This box serves as a map that guides us to align the smaller forms to the angles of the 3 axes, ensuring a more lifelike and dimensional portrait.

This was challenging but, really fun! Please let me know what you think. I think I lost some structure as I added details but, I still like the end product.

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this, but each drawing takes so long. But I'm quite happy with the boxes and I now have a better understanding of how to use the angles of the boxes to support the drawing of the head.

Hey now I can construct a head (sort of) in perspective and out of imagination!

I did 18. Only eyeballing, no measuring. Managed to decrease the time from 45-50 to 25-30 minutes. Still have almost no idea what I'm doing.

I find it hard to draw every element while thinking about the perspective instead of just visualizing the 2d shapes of the face

Hello and thank you for the demo @Stan Prokopenko, very informative!
At around 30:10 you mentioned something about getting better at completing ones drawings. Will the last part or the course – shading – have more of that in mind? Building on what we’ve learned so far and starting to get the drawings towards a more finished state?
I’m asking because I’ve found myself many times in the situation where the initial block-in phase turned out decent but I didn’t really know where to go from there. I think that some guidance regarding this idea of “taking a drawing to a finished state” would be very useful in this course. Thanks!

I've struggled with heads in perspective a lot in the past so this lesson was super useful by showing a way to break down all the details, then build them back up.
