This is my attempt at an Andrew Loomis baby head. It was my 4th attempt. The first three looked warped or like an adult face. My problem is that I have trouble creating the face when I draw the shape of the head first. It is very confining for me and I have to work from the inside out and create the facial features first and then the shape of the head after that. I need to work on that. The facial features are hard too! I look forward to taking a figure drawing class after this :)

I think this is the hardest time I've had while drawing. I tried attempt #1 before watching the video, and attempt #2 while following along with the demo. It was really helpful seeing Stan's thought process where I had the most trouble, especially with starting with a large envelope shape for the head, which really helped get the head shape right on the second attempt. It's also amazing to see that he can process both line weight and shape simplification at the same time so naturally; I found myself struggling to handle even one at a time. I don't think I can trust my guts so much yet, I'll have to return to this assignment many, many times.

Challenged myself with a more difficult angle. Mouth and nose too low again! Will keep that in mind going forward. Also, eye correlation angle incorrect which is not good. But overall head shape ok. Neck too small

Made the nose and mouth too low

I wanted to try this again, but I didn’t want to spend more than an hour on it. It took about 25 minutes. I really rushed it, but damn… even rushing it, I can see a little improvement. Even though today’s version still isn’t proportionally correct. I’m two months into this, so I can’t wait to see how much I’ll improve over the years :) I will come back here in the future and update with a new one. I’m going to take this as a personal challenge.

Back to drawing after a long break. Eyeballing felt more natural compared to the measure method. Although I probably should make a second attempt. His face is too long, nose placed too low

Some mistakes here and there but overall I am happy with how it turned out, especially considering it took less time than the previous two.

turned out surprisingly decent!

I took my first attempt and did the layer mask and made corrections. I wish I had checked before I started using the HB pencil because the left half of my first attempt of the face was way off. This corrected version fits a bit better but still slightly off.

Eyeballing the proportions felt a lot more natural to me.

had lots of fun, found measuring with a common unit to be very powerful tool added to my arsenal

Just tryed cus Cillian is the best the mouth was a nightmare

I took a screenshot of Cillian Murphy from the training video and tried to do eyeball exercise. This is what came out of....I need to learn how to do the self feedback. I don't have photoshop but I have a similar tool (affinity).

I haven't gotten all the measurements right yet, but some were pretty close. I've been practicing this lesson for a while now; I need to improve my measuring accuracy.

Here's my assignment. I just used some plumb lines for rough measurement.

Wow, this was much more enjoyable than the previous exercise! Demos are so helpful ! I need to learn how to do the self critique steps on procreate. I will rewatch the video.

This was tough. I sort of feel like I eyeballed the proportions correctly, but my values are awful lol I’m hoping the later sections will help with that! Either way, I’m enjoying learning :)

Practiced another one. Advice/critiques appreciated.

Added some color to emphasize the character for fun. Any suggestions/critiques appreciated.
