added comment inHow to Apply Proportions to Any Head Angle
Notes from the lesson! Lots of great information to absorb here.
I admit I was a little confused about some of the information presented in the Head Proportions Made Easy lesson, I had to watch that one a couple times to understand some of the concepts, but all of that information fell into place greatly while watching this lesson!
Pardon for my messy handwriting!

It was interesting to work on poses that were so similar to each other, helped me get into a rhythm and try finesse what I was doing. Still, not easy doing it with a time limit.

These are looking great.

An issue I run into is that even when I trace the head construction, I can still seem to get the vertical axis and sometimes the size of the placement of the eye wrong. Is it just a matter of feeling it and intuition that I don't possess yet? Or am I doing it wrong?

The overall size of the eye looks fine to me. I wonder if you were to wrap the lids and fat around if the proportion would start to gel with the rest of the face.

Ugh, this demo went somewhat over my head, I think I'd need the anatomy course to be able to follow, so I just did the usual stages again.

Looks great! Agreed, anatomy can be a lot. I think you have a fantastic foundation now though. Your drawing is ready whenever you're up for it.

Nice work, Maria

Can I get some feedback on how I can draw the head better I was struggling a bit with the Minor axis perspective and some of the tilting of the head

Have you watched the critique video yet? Im pretty sure some of the info in there will help out.

Ahhhh, now it’s getting fun. I don’t know any color theory yet and am unhappy with the lifelessness of the darker tones, but just focusing on the plane shifts and fat pads from the last two videos is making a big difference in solidity/likeness :D

Great study!

The design looks fine. If anything the lips could wrap around the denture sphere more. Be sure you draw that whole egg representing the teeth and their relationship to the rest of the face. Second, you could develop the individual perspectives of the parts by giving a corner to the upper and lower lip.

is there a difference between this course and your book/youtube?

There's a lot of overlap for sure.

Was going to say I was surprised at how few comments are here on Feet and Hands, but then, I realized, oh yeah, they are dreaded. Best way to over-come fear? Face em! These bonus lessons on hands and feet have really upped my confidence and ability. Plus they are giving me good indications of what a solid routine of daily practice of hands, feet, figures, heads. Do that for a month or so and evaluate what to add then.

Bravo, Josh. Notes are so important. I am the exact same way when learning. I need to organize and structure information so it can be assimilated in a way that makes sense specific to me. Also love the comparison to Bammes and thinking about other approaches. Great to see!
