just practicing different tilts of the head to realty understand it. Critiques are appreciated.

any critique would be great, one of the problems I’m having is understanding if at the bottom of the jaw should it be drawn like a L shape or should the jaw go across with a slight angle?

100 Heads Challenge By Ahmed Aldoori Process: *20 minutes per head *10 a day for 10 days (not strictly followed as I have a toddler 😄) * I used Loomis Head Method as that is the only method I know for now(I will learn the other 2 methods in the future) I did this as a challenge to get better and faster at making heads and it proves to be very challenging as I am bad at proportions and shading but I am willing to get better. # tips, advices or critiques are very welcome

For the fourth week of my portrait study, I sought to learn from Stephen Bauman's approach by mimicking his shading and line work. Afterwards, I practiced these skills by creating portraits of Hollywood actors based on different references. I invite any advice, insights, or critiques.

Three weeks into drawing portraits after watching tutorials. Any tips and critiques? How can i bridge the gap between my current skill level and that of accomplished artists such as Stephen Bauman and Jeff Watts ? I use graphite on 8.5x11 paper

Second week after taking the whole portrait class. Any critiques and tips?

Round 2: I’m having trouble with the jaw and chin area, especially for female faces

After finishing the whole features of the face. These are the first 4 tries!

I got a bit more rhythm in making different head angles using loomis method. So I was trying to pick one face and draw it in different angles while still keeping it recognisable. I think I could get it to look somewhat consistent. Like I can tell it's the same person. I'm still struggling with getting the angle of the tilt right. Is there any hack to measure the tilt correctly?

My attempt at learning loomis method for the sixth time. I’m still struggling with looking upwards with a tilt angle. Have used my own face.

My try after watching the loomis method.( I have yet to watch the features!)

I created this to practice different views. I found one online (the line art one) and started using it but I don't think it's correct. Let me know if you can think of a way to improve it.

This was so fun to do! Please give me some feedback on my Loomis heads. At first glance, I can see I got some of the angles wrong. I’ve straightened a lot of them out 😅

Have really been enjoying these! Is there any sort of "rule" for where the line from the center of the oval to the chin should stop on the front plane? It seems like everything else is slotted into place but that line lends it self more to placing it where it feels right, as opposed to using a more math-y approach.

Figured I'd throw these here to compare with my first 100 Loomis Heads. Four months! Time is a flat circle... which you can use to construct Loomis heads, should you so choose to do so. So; I drew 100 Heads in ten days for the 100 Head Challenge, put forth by Ahmed Aldoori. The Pinterest board these came from had more than 100 reference pics so I did these at random. There were a lot of statues, sculptures, and other stuff in with typical photo refs. Some really cool angles and subjects. I was so nervous about getting them done in ten days that the results I've put up here are all over the place. Super inconsistent. After doing these and the other 100 x various facial features drawings I can see that I've made some improvement but my measuring is atrocious. I sometimes feel like I've entered a fugue state while drawing portraits where I think I am nailing it and then, when eyeing the results, realize I've not even come close to anything worthwhile. Butt. I will continue to try. Because I like to draw.

Exploring with the loomis head, I used it to be the base for a more caricature comic portrait

Some Loomis heads I’m working on

Found some reference photo sheets of the same model's head from different angles. The first two sets were of male models, the third female.

So I’ve been drawing more Loomis head, I noticed sometimes the head comes out really bulky and wide, I don’t like that look unless I’m actually purposely going for it which I’m not at this point, can anyone help explain why the head is coming out so wide. Also, for the side plane I feel like my ovals are too wide, the video said depending on how far the head is turning will determine how far wide the oval needs to be but what’s a good to determine this exactly, I’m wondering if the wideness of the oval/side plane is a subjective choice. Looking forward to the critiques they are important in helping one another get better.
