Looking for critique, thanks!

Proportions! I added the proportions to my existing drawings and did the 20 new drawings. Timing was around 4-6min each. I have difficulty with the gesture of the back of the head.

I'm continuing learning.

Hi Michael, your thoughts appreciated. have tried to work on your prior suggest regarding the jaw being too big. i think I may need to get a better understanding of perspectives that are not straight on. Any suggestions for specific exercises would be well received

Oh fudge, I made these with Proko's Timer Tool, but I can't seem to find the photos. Anybody know if it's possible to download images from the Timer Tool at the end of the session so we can properly format for submissions? Admittedly hard to critique without the references, but I'm trying to break out of the Loomis head and really focus on that cheekbone.

I feel more and more comfortable with the basic blocking approach, still need to practice more but overall feel good. Started a bit rough but towards the end it somehow felt easier. PS: I loathe ellipses.

Love this assignment. Feel like I'm grasping the first 4 steps a little better, but here come more steps! I kept checking my proportions with overlays, and it seems I like to shrink the forehead and make the bottom third of the face too large. Will need to continue to work against that. Excited to see further refinement on this process in the future!

I feel like the most confusing part of this is trying to draw the bottom plane of the jaw. Really got no idea what kind of shape to make it.

Still struggeling with jaws and a getting the perspective of the side plane oval correct when the head is leaning back

My submission for this assignment. Thanks!

I've found a cool exercise for this that really helps me learn to visualize heads from gestures before drawing them. It builds from a warmup exercise: 1. Draw a page of circles. I did 7 rows of 5 circles for example. (Craniums) 2. Draw a straight line through each of them, trying not to get too horizontal. I like to skip around the circles to keep everything free flowing. (Tilts) 3. Add a small curve at the bottom/lower third. (Neck gesture) 4. Draw an ellipse inside the circle that is perpendicular to the line. (Perspective) You now have a page full of random head gestures. Try to develop these into heads that fit the gestures as naturally as possible. I've excluded gestures for the shoulders because that made it too difficult for me to invent fitting heads.

I found the jaws being the hardest, but I think it might be easier when I'll apply the next guidelines.

I should've done digital but also wanted to practice more traditional medium, so here they are!

I just finished the lessons today, so I didn't have time to do all 20, but I gave it a shot. I still struggle with that jaw in perspective and with the jaw length and width.
