From page 70 of Drawing the head and hands by Andrew Loomis? Can you spot the mistakes?

I can understand you're wanting to produce a likeness but, by focusing on reproducing the features before you can demonstrate a clear understanding of the 3-dimensional form and structure of the head, you're guaranteeing yourself disappointment. Take it from one who's been there, done that.

After hearing Stan, I'm not sure this is the right course for me because I had hoped this course would provide exercises to help improve my observational accuracy. That doesn't seem to be Stan's objective and I suspect that AI is the motivating factor for his choice of topics.

Bravo! We've been justifiably chastised. Maybe if we follow Stan's sage advice, we may actually see our drawing skills improve. What a novel idea!

One of my own hiking boots. Perspective of the toe seems a bit wonky, but to be fair, I have pretty small feet.

Stan, you've clearly explained how we can use only 5 values (3 in the lights and 2 in the shadows) to indicate the form of a single object but, when we are faced with multiple objects that have different local values, how do we use those same 5 values to describe their forms if we want to show their local value differences?

Very informative. Think "paint by number".

Can't wait to start the long run and improve a lot. Here is where I am from now, looking forward to get better at value, line quality and everything. I'm really happy sharing the journey with you guys, let's work together !

I think you misunderstood the assignment because your drawing lacks value shapes.

Stan, I purchased this course mainly for the exercises, especially those that will help improve my seeing and recording accurate proportions. I imagine they will be closely tied to seeing and recording accurate shapes.

Week 18: The last week of this unit. I've continued the 250 cylinder challenge, and i'm 200 cylinders in. i could use some feedback on these. obvious they are not correct. But i'm wondering how you would get a better result. Drawabox states that you should eyeball the boxes and make an educated guess for the converging lines. Also continued lesson 4 and created a bunch of studies of insects. To reward myself for the work of the last weeks, i've bought myself some nice colored pencils. I've drawn attached frog with them ;)

All box and cylinder verticals should converge to the same vanishing point and the near corner angle of the box bottoms should not be acute (smaller than a right angle) as you show.

Sounds like it's an out-of-control virus that has very little to do with art.

Comet, Nice attempt but, before you concern yourself with modeling (shading), you need more practice seeing correct proportions. I noticed a few things in your drawing that detract from a true likeness, if that was your intention. Her left eye sets back a little too far in your drawing and eye, eyebrow and jaw are slightly stretched horizontally from the model's. If you extend a line from the model's jaw, it lines up with the front of her ear canal. Also, the model's straps aren't spread apart as far as you show and your sternocleidomastoid muscle should be directed to the pit of her neck instead of straight down. Try drawing this head by eye, then lay your drawing over the reference and hold them together up to a bright window to see how closely you've duplicated the proportions. Comparing your drawing to the reference in a mirror also helps to exaggerate any differences in your drawing.

Where's the construction? I see only copied contours and shadow shapes.

Compared to the model, lines through the eyes and the mouth corners are not parallel in your drawing and they diverge slightly as they recede. Try adding the features over a simplified construction drawing to assure correct alignment.

Hello, is someone working with an anatomy book to place the mucles at the right place ? Like an anatomy book for bodybuilding for example.

Did you intend to put all of the model's weight on her bent leg?

I thought you should do a gesture drawing first and then go over it with structure but Proko went straight into the structure it seems

I, too, was disappointed that Stan didn't start with a gesture. I don't know if it was intentional but his drawing differs from the model's pose. The model is erect but she leans forward in Stan's drawing. If it wasn't intentional, a gesture drawing would have prevented it from happening.

Having some odd things happen. I had edited my last post to add more imagery and when I checked it later, the edit was gone. So here is my master drawing from Milt Kahl’s beautiful work.

I'm always interested to know why people copy. What does copying do for you? What skill do you hope to improve by copying another's work line for line?

Hi, I am currently learning the Loomis Head based on the 3D model. Next, on the Lay In, I want to draw the skull in its bone structure. Unfortunately this part is not shown as an example by Stan or I overlooked it. Do you have a suggestion or a video on how I can best proceed? I had read that the Loomis Head is well suited to draw a skull. As a reference I bought the 3d skull from Proko. KR

The method you want is masterfully illustrated by Andrew Loomis in his books, "Fun With a Pencil" and "Drawing the Head and Hands." These titles may be currently out of print but used copies for sale regularly post on Bookfinder.com and eBay. Good luck with your search!
