My attempts at drawing hair this past week. I know that I need to work on my shading/rendering of the hair, so I'm all ears for advice on how I can improve.

Probably could have been better, but they're probably good enough for learning purposes....

Shading is something that I'm still working on. I'm not looking to get photo realistic level of exactness, but I feel like I could do better (if only slightly)......

Shading is something that I'm still working on, otherwise I think I've got the structure/shape of the nose figured out (mostly).......

Took another shot at drawing eyes.... Just focused on trying to draw the eyes themselves (didn't bother with shading this time, that's something that I'm still trying to work out).....

Did my best and managed to get some (decent) brush tips. I use Clip Studio Paint, so a number of the tools covered in the video have different names than they do in Photoshop ("Linear Dodge" in PS, is apparently "Add (glow" in CSP). But what's really given me trouble was that I can't seem to use a linear dodge brush the same way as we're shown in the video. Well I can, but then I'm left with a solid white background that's not transparent (and yes I did lock transparent pixels). I thought I'd found a solution when I the properties featured below, but then any time I tried changing the layer into a multiply layer and so on, I ended up having a solid white background (or the image disappeared altogether) Anyway, I'd love to know what I'm missing here, so that I might better explore the different kinds of brushes I can make.....

Nothing much for today.....

Definitely a lot that I could have done better here: from the proportions of the eyes to the shading (Using the brush/pen tool that I've been sketching with might not be the best for shading so I'll need to work on that....)

One thing that's really starting to annoy me is how there's almost nothing discussing the shape of the ellipses/ovals that form the heads side planes, which is the part of the Loomis Method that I feel I'm having the most trouble with.... Whether it's here, or anywhere else on the internet, I can never find anything beyond: "we slice off the sides of sphere"

I messed up the angle, and just tried to make it work with the rest of the demo.....

Tried doing some loomis heads from reference and imagination Personally, drawing in the side planes of the head at extreme angles has proven to be the most difficult. Any advice is appreciated

I'll need to work on features a bit more... If it's not the proportions that are off then it's the shapes
