Use this model to pose the Loomis head in any angle and practice drawing.

First couple heads vs latest 3. I think I'm finally getting it. Any criticisms? I think my side oval always looks wrong.

Some heads! I've been practicing this for a while. But would love some feedback.

I have attempted drawing heads from different angles many many times using loomis method. Finally I feel like I’m getting somewhere.

CAMERA ANGLE
Am I right in saying that as we change the view of the loomis head 3D model, it isn't actually the 3d model that's rotating but the camera's position that's changing?
As Stan mentions in the "How to draw the head from extreme angles" video, if the head tilts up or down the centre line will be at an angle (more noticeable from a slight side view), however, if it is the camera that's changing position - above or below the head - the centre line will remain vertical (perpendicular to the ground plane). As you rotate the model, the centreline remains vertical (sometimes slightly angled due to foreshortening).
Please correct me if I'm wrong!! I'm still learning :)

Please tell me if it's really necessary to draw the central line of the face (front plane) almost in the end, because for me the sooner I draw it, the easier it is for me to draw other features / planes. It's hard for me to draw jaw line and side plane rhythm if I don't draw the central line first. Is it okay? Or am I missing something?

Hello!
The first two pages are homework I made after I got feedback from @Liandro. Thanks!
Page 1 and 2 is made from imagination (no 3d model) . On page 1 I unconsciously drew the same head a couple of times, in different angles (1, 3, 4, 6, 7).
On page 2 I struggled a lot with head 2, which is supposed to be a 3/4 seen from above. I couldn't get the foreshortening right in the jaw. I tried the same head again, nr 3 and 4, but still couldn't get it right. I practised again in 7 and 8, which is a bit better but still not good. 7 is supposed to be looking more down and 8 more up in comparison.
Page 3 is made using the 3d model. Nr 12 is skewed the most, again the angle I found most difficult in page 1 and 2. Does anyone know what went wrong? Is it the placement of the center line?
Also the perspective of the construction lines is something I need to think more about while drawing.
I would appriciate feedback/ critiques a lot!

Faced challenge in visualizing the proportions of fore-shortening in extreme positions like extreme up-left/up-right and placing the center line accurately without looking at the 3D model. May be it comes naturally with more practice. Any feedback/help is appreciated.

Here is my submission for the Loomis Head. I had difficulty getting the perspective when viewing the Loomis head from the top. I accidentally skewed the perspective when drawing the front view. I think I was compensating for the horizontal curvature of the head too much. I'm still trying to find the perspective of the features of the face despite having constructed the guidelines.
Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Having access to an adjustable 3D model like the one in the Lesson notes makes getting the premium version this course all the more worth it!
Anyway here's some Loomis heads I drew using the model as reference. If there's any feedback or suggestions I'd love to hear it!

Here is the progress I have so far. Feel free to give any advice so I can improve it :).

Is there a way to tip the head backwards in profile? I can get it to move in every other direction.

In the picture, the line which is supposed to connect the chin to the top of the ear is not touching the ear. It is touching the top of the slice. Why is that?

Hi guys and gals this is my first try at the Loomis Head from any angle. I agree that the 3D model makes it way more comprehensive.
