And a second try at the Bodem head.

Good job! cheek bones feel a bit low and check the shape of the head from above to make sure it's the right shape. Keep it up it's great to see you doing so many of these.

I learned the basic profile of the head, also the position of the boss parietal, how the lineae temporalis ends through the Bodem Head

is there a video on how to do the bodem method block in...there was a update but i cant find a actual video on how to do it start to finish... or a video as something as basic as putting the first piece of clay on an armture

In all these demos, I find instruction in placement to be lacking.

Looking good! One thing Robert Bodem told me after I made this lesson was to make the front plane of the face more of a wedge shape (like an ax blade) that widens towards the back of the head. You could implement some of that in this one but really I think it's definitely good enough to use as a base to start adding the forms of the head.

Finally, my version of the Bodem head! I know I am a little behind schedule, but retirement just keeps getting in the way!🙃😶

Looking good! Remember that at this point you want it to be a thin version of the head. This is looking a little too rounded like a ball. Consider lengthening it and make sure that from side to side it's thin all the way around because its easy to add width with clay later on.

My version of the bodem head. I found it hard to resist adding some facial features to the profile pancake that i started with. It gave some points of reference for the high points. Also it made it look like a fantasy sculpture of the head.

great job! love how the facial features look in the last image. it looks like the cheekbones are too wide compared to the back of the head. I would thin them down a bit. Keep it up!
