I think I'm gonna make it part of predrawing exercises. The lines are still a bit messy, but feels more confident to me than they were at the beginning.

I noticed that Olivia Munn is actually tilting her head a bit, you can easily detect that by checking her 2 eyebrows which are not on the same level. Her head is tilted slightly to the right. By the logic thus far described in the course, this should mean the 'oval' rests not perfectly in the middle but a little lower. Correct?
It also means all 'thirds' lines are not truly horizontal for her.
Is it just me making some mental mistake or am I right?

Adjusting Loomis head to any head type. Tried adding features too...I think my heads are little longer than it should be and i find it hard sometimes to hit the proportions accurately. Critiques are welcome!

How did you use the loomis method to draw the cartoon like head? I want to use it draw cartoon figures as well and to be able to exaggerate proportion, does this course teach one how to do that?

Cool! They feel pretty solid!
- You tend to make the heads a little tall.
- I would keep an extra eye on the jaw. You tend to put its start at the skull a little too far back, I think, making the jaw feel really robust. Also keep in mind that the angle of that "vertical" (it's not truly vertical on a skull I think) line vary a bit between men and women. In women I think it angles forward a bit more creating an angle of jaw that's more obtuse.
Cheers!

Some exercises, I wanted to focus mostly on head forms and angles. Features need a lot of work as I still don't know how to place them properly, these are just for reference.

Do you want some critical feedback? It comes with the warning that once I point some things out, you can never un-see them! :)

Some of the heads in the lesson. I did the heads wrong a few times, not sure how to make it looks like the reference. Especially the nose, I had difficulty make them in the right placement. Any critiques are welcome!
