I can't figure out how to make mine look better. Maybe you guys could help?

I noticed that the height of the face/head (from top of head to chin) in front view Down Tilt .. is greater than the one in front view horizontal 0 angle. The more I fix it to become equal the more it become inconsistent and disfigured, Then I remember that the other component attached to the sphere, which the extension (jaw line) to the chin is almost straight line. Consider that if you rotate the angle downward the top line will remain the same because the circle side is constant while the chin line will go lower than its previous level line. Am i correct? Comments are welcome. Thanks

Hi! How the website has changed! It's time for me to watch the videos from the very beginning and practice more. I'm posting my first sketches.

Tried this out today

hello, here are some of my attempts at drawing eyes and noses. critiques welcome!

Some recent gesture studies. 5mins each. Feedback welcome :)

I started to realize how much I focus on quantity then quality. I just do what I think is enough then move on, but that often leads to them not looking good. Even when I notice they look wrong, I simply either abandon the drawing or erase it entirely, and move on, I feel like I don't think enough for this, Like I'm practicing without consideration, & just doing this intuitively thus not getting much out of it. I noticed when I draw with more thought they usually come out better like when I follow along with Proko or actually having the pressure of not making the drawing look wrong, & even though I believe its better to focus on quality than quantity, I continue to slip back into these bad habits. I do what my instincts want to do & not what the order or rules tell me to consider. So yah there's problems with these & the ones that are slightly more decent are the ones I either put a little more thought into or got better with intuition. Basically, Even when I notice my mistakes I don't try to fix them, I don't know how to & I don't really draw it again because I don't know if I'll learn from those mistakes. I understand mistakes are important, they are, but in the moment as I'm drawing & making those mistakes, I feel like I reject them instead of taking the time to analyze them. & find solutions. Which is a bad mindset. So How do you stick to habit? How should I approach this? Am I stressing this out here? Am I asking too much to the point I don't know how to solve it on my own?

Here's my full set of bean sketches. Critique requested--thank you!

Challenging myself to use fewer lines, and also line weight variation to achieve the gesture. For number two, I would really like to be able to describe the engagement of core muscles in this pose. Anyone have good ideas of how to do so in a gesture ? (I started this course I few months ago, got a bit lost in the later stages; had to go outside a bit for inspiration/teaching, and now feel ready to reboot. When it comes to gesture I found Michael Hampton’s explanations, as well as Mike Matessi’s interviews by Proko to be really useful.)

2022/8/4. Good morning everybody. Here’s my today’s 30 mins warming up exercise. I couldn’t finish the legs. This time I used a very foreshortened pose as reference and it took me lot of time to find the right balance between the forms and the volumes. The right shoulder still remain too big and box of the rib cage too large in the breast area. Thanks for any advice or suggestion and if someone wants to share his/her experience had with similar cases please leave a comment. Thanks again and have a good day.

I did quite a lot, & noticeably got more improved & consistent. It wasn't easy at first to identify the landmarks to connect the boxy points but through mileage I got better, its still complex for me to do extreme angles though, & I felt the need to re-do a few. My hand started to hurt near the end, but I still enjoyed it. Anything I can work on?

Here are the assignments for landmarks. Last image is my own attempt from fresh references. Not sure if they're entirely correct, so I'd love some feedback.

The first thing you’ll want to make your life easier is definitely a better lit reference (preferably not filtered), like the ones provided by Grafit Studio or Proko Tools. This is super important so that you’re able to see all the facial features clearly and aren’t guessing where they are when you’re still learning. For steps on drawing the face, you might try the Loomis method. This will help you generally orient the skull and have some guidelines for where to place the facial features. There are some free videos on the Proko youtube channel that talk about this method.

Hi everyone! First week of mannequinization, one major problem I notice is that if there's tilt or twist in a pose chances are I'm gonna make it straight(er). Are there any other major things to point out? Thanks to you all

Here's my short comic from an excerpt of Journey to the West (an old Chinese novel from the 16th century Ming dynasty era). Sun Wukong (The Monkey King) is infuriated by how he has been treated by the Jade Emperor and the other heavenly beings, and he wreaks havoc in Heaven, defeating over 100,000 divine soldiers and generals until he is finally confronted by Buddha for his misdeeds.

Here's mine. The mask is loosely based on sculptures of the Four Evils you find in Chinese folklore.

Are there any techniques to finding out how "evenly distributed" the steps between the values groups are? I noticed that with this study, I ended up with dark values that are closer together, and light values that are further apart.

Hi everyone! I enjoy playing indie games so approached it thinking what kind of character I would like to see in one of those folklore themed games. Thank you for this challenge. I learned a lot.

Hi, everyone! Here is my entry for this challenge. Done with liners and watercolors. Cheers!

This is my submission for this month's challenge; the mother of lemurs. :D I used the organic refs such as the leaves, grasshopper wings, fruit, but mostly the fluffy lemurs!
