Head Drawing Basics

Hi there Coder, Thanks for posting up your studies! Don't be so hard on yourself, these type of structure heads are actually difficult at first if you've never tried drawing them. I think overall, its a good start but I'll give you a few quick suggestions that might help. The first thing I notice, (I could be wrong) but the drawings look a bit small? These actually can make things even harder if you're drawing on the smaller side at first. It can feel like you're trying to cram all the information into a really small space which can be a bit frustrating at first. If you try drawing a bit larger, it'll be a bit more freeing and you'll have extra room to try and navigate the structure lines. It may seem silly, but drawing larger at first for these kinds of studies can help. Once you get more comfortable, scaling down won't feel as hard in my experience. Outside of that, theres some proportion things, but I honestly thing for now thats not as important as trying to do the studies again, but larger next time. It may also help in terms of the sketchiness of the lines as well. Working larger will allow you to move your arm/hand more and that can help in getting cleaner lines as well. Please do try these again! Hope that helps!

Thank you so much, for such a thoughtful suggestion. I will take all you've said into account and keep practicing

It's ugly, but..... at least I tried<img srcset="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/e05d4cf9fd1fe45c0b029c8b2c93d8ce/4459c75b.jpg 600w, https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/e05d4cf9fd1fe45c0b029c8b2c93d8ce/4459c75b.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 600px, 100vw" src="https://static.skillshare.com/uploads/project/e05d4cf9fd1fe45c0b029c8b2c93d8ce/4459c75b.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Head planes - image 1 - student project">
