This one Is going to be messy and full of errors because I wanted to try on my own first and do some problem solving before watching the critique video. I struggle with completing the ellipse and tilting it correctly vs the viewer still but I think I’m beginning to get a feel for it, and visualising it as a slice is helpful. I’ve tried some more finished ones too to see how it feels putting the basic feature planes on top, as well as a fully finished one. The alien girl with the curved face seen from below was a flop but the side profile did alright (an easier angle, but still).
Used the first twenty of the reference image all in order. Haven't done this kind of practice in a while. Right now I have ton's of time to burn so I hope I can get a ton of hours practicing art.
Not sure why it's been like a million years. Anyways I struggled with the last few, the angles were really subtle ( Haven't watched the critique video yet )
Did these throughout the week while slowly watching the critique video. I tried to use a variety of reference I could find on Pinterest. The last 2 sets are after I finished the video. Feel like I got a lot better but need to still work more on hard poses and wrapping lines.
I got better the more I practiced. I could still use some work, and I think my line quality would be better if I did this traditionally rather than digitally.
i'm struggling with the sphere part. the cranial cavity just doesn't look very spherical to me-- it looks more flattened on the sides to me-- and then i struggle with the rest of the head. i think i need to practice this more in order to fix the proportions
