Hi. Sorry, I’m somewhat confused as to the measuring of the spine when adding the loop. Half a unit down, two units for the rib cage, and another two units to complete lumbar section (4.5 units all together). Isn’t that kinda long? The straight line version is 3.5 units long. Or am I misunderstanding the instructions? Thanks.

Oh yeah I might have made the torso too long with the loop but you can adjust the loop to shorten it after. Also keep in mind that some adjustments will need to be made regardless because each person is a little different in their proportions. The important part is building armatures to get a good feel for the general proportions of the figure.

Hey great job! A great first step and I hope you keep going! if this is your first I'm sure you'll progress very rapidly with a consistent practice. If I had to give a critique I'd say the forehead looks a bit large compared to the reference. Keep up the great work!

Great job sculpting the Loomis head! and I love what looks like a paper model of the head in the background. Super exciting to see all the hard work you've put into the course. I wish all the students were working as hard as you to implement the lessons. Keep it up!

the simplification of secondary forms is carried out by Burne Hogart and the masses. So Bridgman's head is a good format to which I can later add the more specific anatomy of the subject.
For the anatomy I use the book "the human machine" and in the head muscles, fat and features... simplicity

Great job! I like that I'm starting to see your style with these assignments. With some of them you might want to take some time and clean up the forms and surface texture a little more and that will help you be more precise with the anatomy and surface details. Really nicely done!

Nicely done! I like to see that you've done multiple of these to really familiarize yourself with the skull. I think that will help you a lot in the long run. Great job! Really impressed to see so many assignments you've finished and I hope you can keep going!

My process is slow, I usually like to do as deep a scan of the anatomy as possible. During the first 10 hours (enough for a model) I took care of the block and simplified it, in later stages the abstraction serves as a guide and thus integrate the features
I decided to publish this model of Joni showing only the essentials and a minimal approach of the features. thus showing the difference between a short-term job and a more advanced one.

Nicely done portrait! If I had to give a critique I would say to start working on softening the texture of the skin by going over the forms with a sculpting tool lightly while still trying to observe the reference. Keep it up!

Way to do the assignment! One thing you might try to work on is differentiating the forms of the nose a bit more. for example the back of the wings of the nostrils there is typically a sharper inside corner than what I'm seeing here. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more!

Nicely done! I like that I can see the forms of the nose but that the transitions between the forms don't feel too abrupt. Keep up the great work!
