I like these a lot

Cool! - The cranium on the loomis head you've drawn might be too small. Note how, the eye ends up on the side plane (the circle), when it should be on the front plane. Hope this helps :)

Hi @Will Heflin, nice work! The shapes and proportions look good. - You might want to make the front plane angle in less. In the 3D Model: The Loomis Head, the front plane is vertical. - Try to light your drawings better when photographing, and try to photograph them with your camera straight on, and not from above. It will make critiquing easier and do the drawings more justice 😎👍 Hope this helps :)

Look at @stanpenko YouTube video on drawing a head. He gives the overview and then the measurements on the head for eyes, nose, ears and mouth. It all to me boils down to measuring and mapping.

Nice! - Double check the angle of the feature lines on the front plane of the face when doing these. They are all side views, but they vary slightly in what angle we're viewing the head. In the top right for example, we're slightly below and in the bot right, we're slightly above. Showing this can add an extra layer of dimensionality. Hope this helps :)

Awesome reference.

Hey sark, your heads arent bad. Good job. I also have issues with drawing the inner circle at exactly 2/3 of the outer one. The more I concentrate on it, the more skewed everything gets. Keep in mind that the real models from instagram are not the exact loomis head in terms of proportion. So they will deviate a bit from the "perfect" measurement. I would suggest doing some generic heads where you measure the size of the circles and repeat it a couple of times until you feel more comfortable to get close to 2/3 without checking. Then mix it up with real heads, but this time concentrate on getting the proportions of the model right. If you are doing this digitally, you could overlay your drawing with the model to spot the differences. Besides, keep drawing heads heads heads heads. I started drawing heads with proko about the time the first videos popped up on youtube, and I am still getting better, and I am still drawing imaginary heads in my sketchbook for practice. For the features... phuu, that is more difficult. First I would suggest the videos in the heads course for the features. Knowing how they work is the first step. For the placement, I find it useful to know some basic structure of the underlying bone (skull). Especially for the eyeholes. Try to find some rhythm between the features. Orient yourself on the planes of the head and follow through with the underlying construction lines. The features are usually placed in accordance with these lines. Happy head drawing. Andre

I am no way near a pro so take my advise with a grain of salt but here is what I noticed. 1. You seem to draw on a pretty small skale. I would atleast aim for drawings that are the sice of your hand. This will not only allow you to get more detailed, but will also remove the "sketch effect". What I mean with sektch effect is that the drawing is either so small or so ruff that it leaves a lot of work to the imagination of the viewer, wich will then hide youre weaknesses. Going bigger will force you to really work those proportions and features out. 2. I feel like the right drawing of the first page is by far the best you did. Most of the other drawings seem to be a bit short on the horizontal side. 3. I feel like youre noses are sufficiently long but dont portrude outwart enoug If I was you I the next 2 steps I would take are one draw bigger and two start to get in to shading. You already added a little bit of it but that can definitely be pushed further.

Hi @joseph12, nice drawing! I really like how to contour clearly shows the plane changes; bottom plane for the brows -> up plane of nose bridge -> down plane for the ball of the nose. It makes the drawing look more solid! I'll do my best to help you further: - I can see that you first started with lightly drawing the loomis head. That's great! But the construction seems to be a little off. Since this is a profile view, the side plane of the skull should be a circle; in yours it's oval. Maybe this happened because you rushed into the stage of drawing the details. If that's the case, slow down a little and make sure that the loomis head foundation is correct. It will pay off :) - The brows and the hairline don't seem to relate correctly to the guidelines on the loomis head. The brows should land on the horizontal line running through the center of the ball, and the hair line's mid point (the one that peaks down like the middle of an "M" on the centerline of the face) lands on roughly the horizontal line that interesects the top of the circle on the cranium. Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
