Bonus Lessons
In this session, we're improving perspective skills with challenging head views. Starting with the back of the skull, we use shapes like a ball and an egg to set tilts and angles. We focus on the neck's 3D positioning and overlapping forms, emphasizing the head's natural diagonal inclination.

Great following along with this. Heads up (hehe) I think there's some extra video that starts at 18:40 where Michael is speaking, but there's no voice?

Very difficult! Foreshortening is no joke and more often than not i would underestimate it

I think I'm getting confused about the axis line you use to determine the angle of the the cranial mass. In most of your examples so far, you've placed it at the relative center of the sphere, but in the 3rd example here you have it much more off center toward the front of the face. Does the placement of this guide matter, should it be aligned with a particular part of the head? In other examples it seems to align with the ear and back of the jaw but here it seems to align more with the edge of the chin.
