Hi, here I have tried to build secondary forms on the simplified body. I have not worked on the face and head yet. I have not had access to modelling tools that I have at home. It has been a blessing to work with a self build armature.

Really great!! And a great pose. If you need to build some tools check out the lesson on tools for sculpting. I’d say you can keep going and start to work on the anatomy. You might check the size of the rib cage compared to the hips. In women the hips tend to be wider and the rib cage smaller. Keep it up!

Simplified Head References7d
If anyone would like some references for drawing the simplified head here are some images of this simplified head sculpture that I did for the Portrait Sculpting course here on Proko.
There's a video with more references from different angles and different lighting on my YT channel here

Enjoy!
I made it?? This is my first sculpture, well… But i really Have fun. Thanks for the video and your amazing work ✨

awesome! congrats on being the first student to finish and upload the assignment! a few more pictures of different angles might help for critiquing. looks like it might need some more mass added to the bottom of the chin, feels like the whole head as been squished from top to bottom so it could use be longer of a face. keep it up!

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!

My Loomis Head. I spent a little too long on this one considering it should be a quick block in

Looking good!

My version of the female profile pancake. I plan to do another where i follow along with the demo to better understand Andrew's process.

I keep posting in the wrong area🙃! Anyway hope this is the right spot for this and certainly hope I understood the assignment!!

Nice! the proportions look like they might be a little off so make sure you're comparing them with a reference from the front and side view. Looks like the widest point at the back of the skull is too low on most of the studies and that they are a bit too close to a sphere. Keep it up!

Did Loomis first, then Bridgman and finally Bodem.
Loomis felt like it went ok, I had some familiarity with the Loomis head on paper and always thought it seemed like it could be a good starting point in 3D.
Didn’t really get on with my Bridgman, perhaps because I made the head too blocky / big for the neck. Of the three, it’s the one I kept having to tweak because it felt off. Think I came at it all wrong - it just wasn’t vibing at all. In Bridgman’s illustrations and when Andrew uses it, it looks a lot more natural / organic, so maybe I overdid it with the angles. Should've gone more curved triangle?
Enjoyed having a go at Bodem. Found it easier than the other two to visualise how I could ‘work into it’ and use it as a starting point. More adding, less removing. Also it reminds me of Gray Fox’s helmet from Metal Gear, so hard not to like.
For my preference of the three, I guess I’d have to try starting a portrait with each to know. But I reckon it’d be somewhere between Bodem and Loomis.

Hey these look great! the back of the head might be too small on the Bodem method block in. Keep it up!

Hi Anderew, i am working on jesse233 template, please help me with feedback on this sculpt.

Looking good! I'd say the secondary forms of anatomy could use more subtlety. don't let the secondary forms overpower the primary forms. look for asymmetry. Keep it up! The torso is a great exercise!

Female profile attempt. The hair was really fun, but I think I should have made the example a little larger.
