More practice from this week. Can't wait to get the assignments for term 3, but for now here's more heads and gestures. I tried to correct what I did wrong with a red pen. I might do a 50 head challenge like the ones on draw a box to get better.
@patmast Thanks for your draw overs! They really helped.
Going strong! Strong and Steady! I'm just now got term 2 today myself so I'll be over there soon too lol
Good luck! A lot of good stuff as usual. 
If you're on Discord you're going to get a double dose of this.
I'm doing a drawing exercise where I draw the basic head form everyday until I get to 250. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do it with me? We could post in a topic on the forum or upload to an online folder just to keep each other accountable. I'm asking others to join because I think daily practice and getting the basics down is important and being accountable to other people can really help you stay motivated. Let me know if you're interested! If you're still on term 1, just watch the video in term 2 if you have it and start when you can! 
@BemezmorizeD Nice nice. You're heads look a lot better. Just remember, the Boba Fett line goes to the chin ( there is one with this mistake) and the farter something is back in the distance, the shorter it is (the first one has the mistake). Keep up the work 
.
I sadly can't participate i the challenge, because I'm already doing two schoolism courses and Cubebrush's Artschool simultaneously, sorry! 
@patmast Thanks! It really amazes me how fast you can improve with consistent repetition.

Here's my progress on the head challenge. I'm doing my best not to erase or ctrl+z and I think my lines are getting better because of it. Please join me if you can! I made a forum post for it. I'm also working on the wrap around forms, I feel like I need a lot of practice with those.
Thats a cery clean set of heads. The one thing i can see is that the the chinfor the upper angles look a bit pointy. Also for further clarity, you can lightly shade the bottom of the chin so you can easilly tell what is what for the upper ones. Im training mostly on upper for that reason. Upper is the hardest IMO. Any angle otherwise is super easy.
Yeah I agree with you on the upper angle being one of the hardest, I'll be doing more of those the next couple of days. I still have 200 chances to do more extreme angles! I think with the simpler angles it's easy to miss basic mistakes. I didn't realize until yesterday I wasn't paying attention to where exactly I was putting the center line. On some of them I let the side farthest away have more width than the closer side. 7 days in and I just now realized it
@BemezmorizeD You're heads are improving pretty fast, nice to see 
and you're line quality on a lot of them looks
@patmast Thanks! I towards the beginning I decided to try and not use undo or erase so I can force myself to make things cleaner. I like this draw everyday with heavy repetition format, it really helps me problem solve. Still have a ways to go but I'm done with doing these daily

Here's the last few days of the head challenge. Give it a try if you can, it helps! Decided to stop at 100 : P
Very clean. I'm working on a stack too, but I'm gonna save it as one post too. I've been stuck between this and inking classes. That's why most of my stuff has been traditional mainly. The only thing I would suggest is to try to do some that have you looking upwards to where you see the bottom of the chin. That's the hardest thing to do head wise and I'm mainly focusing on that for that reason. That's been my bane.
This thread makes me so happy - you're killing it!!
This course is really what I needed, it fits my life style and learning style. I've improved more than I have in a long time and I can't wait to see how much I grow when I finish Thank you for all the work you've put into the course!
You have really put a lot of work on getting the proportions right - the amount of work you have put in is amazing!
my only criticisms would be the nose needs to be more rounded and show clearer definition between its different parts. I would look at different parts of the nose and construct from there. The position of the head your drawing makes it particularly difficult. I did a quick paint over to show what I mean -
.Hopefully this helps. The nose is the hardest part of the head for me. Because of how rounded its parts are and all its different planes i get really mixed up with it. Like I said though the proportions are spot on and your values are great.
This is another head practice after getting some feedback from Marc! I want to go though one more round of critique, but there's so much improvement from last time. He actually looks like a man! Also took the lineart and shading more seriously, my history state is set to 1 so I don't rely on undo.
Used a ref for lighting
Thanks @alex_fucile for the feedback! I'm not that active so I just saw it. You gave some good pointers and I appreciate the paint over!
