Weekly practice, trying to figure out the "loomis head"

I went from 2 minutes to 3 minutes for faces, too, so I can take the time to draw the circles and marks for the face proportions, as suggested by comments on last week's upload. (Red lines are me trying to figure out the mistakes at the end of the session).

I will start this by saying I am in no way a professional and half of my drawings seem to ignore the Loomis method entirely. However compared to your previous work this seems to be a marked improvement. From my own studies I have found that boxes do not make heads, so swapping to circles and the loomis method seems like a far better way to go.

These guys have some amazing breakdowns of the loomis method that helped when I looked into it. With various angles and breakdowns for both male and females.

Another method I find that may help is tracing, especially if you are using pencil and paper rather than digital art. Find art that you like, get some tracing paper and copy the work, then break it down into the loomis method or other methods, see where they align, see where they differ.

Regardless keep up the solid work.
