Just 100 more examples of incredibly inspiring work! Amazing!

Nice! This captures great volume and texture. Something that could help add more realism is thinking about the light source in the reference and drawing. I notice some hairstyles, especially in the bottom row, with more evenly distributed highlights throughout all the hair sections. Pinpointing the specific direction the light is coming from and how softly/harshly it distributes across the hair as a whole can make the hair more believable, as if it were actually affected by a real life environment. After capturing the general distribution of light & shadow, you can start adding the smaller hair section divisions to really make it pop. You have great work so far -- keep up the good practice! :)

Hi @Crimson The Vixen, did you see the reply I gave to your other post? https://www.proko.com/s/VsLE There's some tips on an exercise there that I think will really help 😎👍

Very nice sweeping force in your lines, they are rather clean! I see what is holding you back from producing a 3D feel in your head construction. It is the fact that your lines are not agreeing with each other, they do not relate to one another in a singular 3D space. This is because when lines are parallel or converging, they tell our brain that they are part of a plain, like a wall, in a 3D reality that we are seeing through a sort of window, which is your picture plane, the paper. The illusion is thus broken because the lines do not agree and we can immediately then read them as flat linear shapes on a flat surface. To fix this you must study Perspective. There is no way around it but fortunately it is not at all rocket science, although it definitely has mathematical concepts in it, such as parallel lines, angles, etc. I will recommend that you check out a fun little video to introduce yourself to Perspective made by the wonderful Marshall Vandruff as a Halloween special on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFKMw8YekFY Follow that by checking out a book called Perspective Made Easy, and patiently do the exercises. It might take a few weeks to get through it all, but it is THE most essential tool you will have as an artist that wants to draw things that appear to have volume.

Hi @Crimson The Vixen! I appreaciate that you tried the challenge :) I would encourage you to keep trying it. I'll give some feedback to consider in your next drawing. - I like the shape design in the top left drawing of page two. The shapes are simple, yet have a sense of form, and there's a nice rythm connecting them. One thing I notice is that all your drawings look quite different from the reference of Jane. The shapes don't match. Being able to control the proportions of the shapes is going to be important as you draw from life but also when you draw from imagination. So I would suggest this next assignment: Try drawing Jane again from the same reference. But only do ONE drawing this time. Your goal should be to have a line drawing that's an exact copy of the lines in the reference of Jane. Include everything; even face, neck and clothing. This is to help you see the drawing as a whole. Let's set the time limit to 1 hour (so that you don't get caught drawing it for too long). I would suggest this process: • A light drawing focusing on establishing the major volumes • on top of which you add even smaller shapes • then look at one line at a time and try to make them match the reference. I hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi @Crimson The Vixen, you might benefit from doing some studies of how an animator approaches drawing hair. Maybe it could be interesting to do some studies of Jane from Disney's Tarzan (1999). She has about the same haircut as the girl in your reference photo. Notice how the animators group Jane's hair into larger shapes. Here's a challenge: Copy some drawings of Jane's head and hair by the Disney animators. Then try to pose her head into a new angle from imagination. Compare your drawing to the Disney animators' drawings. Look back and forth. Has the shapes deformed in your drawing? Make adjustments. Try to make it look as if it's still her hair, only in a different angle. I hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions!
