You should pay attention to the character's head. It seems to be too small.
I haven't seen the reference, but the eyes are pretty far apart.
The video also shows well the weaknesses of the method. Individual features disappear and the end result looks like a prototype. The shapes of the nose and mouth are wrong. The shape, size and direction of the eyes are different from the model.
Later drawings have a sculptural style. You describe the structure clearly.
Beautiful drawings. The eyes are a bit too big.
In addition to the Loomis method, try faster practices. Choose a picture and try to find the main features of the face. Then draw only them. You don't always have to draw the whole head or the structure of the face.
I did not see any drawing. Is that link ok?
Beautiful girl. If you want more realism, focus on the shape of the model’s nose and the size of the eyes.
The link seems to be broken
Hi Kim,
Forums "Critique" and "Practice & advice" have a couple of spammers.
First mark the locations of the most important elements. Use enough time to this phase. Then when you draw eyes, mouth, nose etc, do not draw a prototype of those. Examine carefully how do they look like.
Above all, draw a lot.
Hope this helps!
The link does not work. Says access denied, "you need access"
For me it looks like in the pictures 1,2,3 and 12 the eyes are too open.
In addition to the previous advice, one could add that it is not always necessary to draw the whole head. Sometimes you can draw only the areas of the eyes, mouth and nose. Individuality is often found in that area. And as others have already written, draw a lot and have fun.
