Learn to draw the head from the side view using the Loomis Method with this real-time demo.
First submission. I have done the other draw alongs in this course, but I am most pleased by this one.
I tried drawing these but still I am lacking in jaw any suggestion how to perfect jaw
Okay, before I call it a night, one more submission. I try to make mirror images by drawing it side by side as I follow along the video. Greatly appreciate any feedbacks. Thanks!

Hi Michael! :) A bit late but I hope it's still useful to you.
The main thing I would say is that there's the tendency to keep the features close to the face plane marked by the basic guidelines, i.e. the edge of the loomis head. When placing the nose, it would be more helpful to mark the angle/curvature created when it protrudes out from the face plane as a guideline beforehand, in order to counteract flattening the face--like in the Emma Watson example (though note this angle changes for everyone).
Some smaller notes would be to observe the indent below the mouth that marks the chin, position the eye slightly lower and inwards, and shrink the ears just a tad.
I know the side profile can be a rather tricky angle, and you got pretty darn close, just some tweaks for improvement. Best of luck to you on your art journey! :)
I wonder if it would help you to draw a larger version. It seems like it would be hard to be really accurate (at least when starting out).
So, the skull is not a perfect circle. Yes, part of the cranium is circle-like. Mentler's, "Book of Bones" is a great resource for any artist. It's pricey, but still one of my favorite books in my library.
nice! Looking at the angle from the ear in relation with the eye, he is looking upwards. however, his chin is not pointing up in the same angle. if you would draw lines over it, these lines should be parallel. Same goes for the mouth. I hope this makes sense!
I know I went wrong with the angle of the eyes, but overall why does this guy look so sinister? Haha
Drawn along with the vid. I like 1710 charcoal pencil, but pity that it makes such a mess. I had to erase a lot - but the circles were off anyway.
I wish we had the actual reference available, specifically for 4:44 in the video where he starts to plot down the reference points for where landmarks are on the face. it would be nice to follow along with him looking at what he sees so we can make accurate estimations of our own.
