We learned the theory last time, now we’ll put it into practice trying the four steps on a variety of reference photos.

For the 4th step, when you say center to the sphere, are you saying that the ellipse has to be in the center of the ball or just the major axis it self needs to be centered in the ball ? I understand that something has to be centered but what exactly needs to be centered? And centered in relation to the ball?

Is the brow line on the front plane still a straight even after drawing the ellipse? Like the ellipse is being drawn over it, but the brow is still placed on that initial straight? Just the same, when we bring the ellipse down should the chin still be a straight?

And another question. While drawing the head, should we use more our wrist or our elbow/shoulder. I'm using a regular BIC pen to draw. Thanks! @Michael Hampton

Hi, taking as reference an A4 size paper, at what size should we ideally draw the heads you are drawing in your videos. I tend to draw them too small and I have then a hard time when I have to put down the different details. Thanks @Michael Hampton

is it wrong to assume that the browe ridge always is paralel to the bottom of the chin? - which i always draw when drawing the head as a box

How do I know how long to make the jaw?

When you draw the tilt of the neck are you thinking about the position of the spine or are you just indicating a general direction to build the neck on top?

I followed along with the first three. I started drawing first and watching the demo after for the last 6.

Had a go at the exercises then four other ones. I noticed in the examples the jaw goes to the back of the head (past the ear). This can be tricky when the pose is from the side or the back of the head and the ear/jaw end is in the middle of the head. Eg upside down example 3.

The more extreme angles are a disaster, easier poses are slowly clicking

Followed along and did some quick studies of my own. Does #7 tend to read as him extending his jaw or could have I exaggerated it a bit more? Also #4 was giving me trouble so I added a box for reference to help with constructing under the neck.

The opened mouth makes it very confusing and hard to find the thirds. In general, I feel like I can get the tilt, the turn, and the general perspective, but the proportions are off. If we get the placement of the brow line and the chin, so we can divide it into two parts to get the first and the second third, is it OK that the third part doesn't touch the top of the "basketball"? If I take the first third as the line between the top of the "basketball" and the brow, the face seems too long.
