To begin this craft I zeroed in on the Loomis Head in clay as an introduction to portrait sculpting. It took me a couple of weeks to get the money for a course I wanted to take so while I waited I took advantage of all the free tutorials I could from AJ Keith. All I did was make Loomis heads over and over. I wanted to really get it. I’m closer.

You can sculpt along with this demo, where we’ll be doing a quick block-in of the Loomis head.

Nicely done! the bottom of the jaw might be a bit to low. Usually the jawline points towards the back of the skull at the occipital protuberance and yours is a bit close to parallel with the top of the head if that makes sense. Other than that it looks and feels good! Keep it up!
A second shot at a quick Loomis block-in. I haven't try making the actual Loomis head, but I'm liking this quick exercises, they're quite intuitive and fun to do.

Great job! the facial mass of the face tapers a bit more towards the front and the neck should be leaning forward a bit more. Keep up the great work!

Nicely done! really fun design. Just for future reference the cheekbones usually aren't as wide as the back of the skull when observing the portrait from the front so I would watch out for making the cheekbones too wide but as a fun design this is really great. Keep up the good work!

Great job sculpting the Loomis head! and I love what looks like a paper model of the head in the background. Super exciting to see all the hard work you've put into the course. I wish all the students were working as hard as you to implement the lessons. Keep it up!
I'm working on a model, simplify the masses
I like the Loomis model since it is the favorite and best known basic form.

Nice job! great to see that you're doing the assignments! The tip of the chin might be a little more triangular as it tapers from the cheekbones down to the tip of the chin but for a rough head shape it's looking good.
I’m surprised that there is absolutely no instruction regarding the planes of the head as shown on the Loomis Head, nor any instruction on measurements, proportions etc. Most disappointing.

You might consider watching the videos on the "secondary forms of the head" that are up next in the course. These videos go over planes and simplifying the features.

Hey great job! I'm glad you took advantage of the free content and have found the information useful! I hope to see more of your work in the assignments!
Loomis head quick block-in. Think I might have back of head too large again. Will keep working on that. Enjoying the process.

Looks like a great improvement to me! Do you think you have a preference of the three approaches yet?
