Volodymyr G. - Art School Journey

[strelok_2012]

Alright I've asked for help from someone I know in person on how to approach heads and I need to reel it back.

Rather than trying to study a completed lineart drawing from a book, I should be studying real-world animals that are used as a base for the dragons. However I'm still confused. More so in whether or not my approach is correct and I'm also struggling to understand how the muzzle connects to the cranial mass of the animal.

Here is my current study:

I'll be working through it some more until I have about 5 heads done then see where I'm at by then.

What term are you in?
Term 5 has whole video(s) dedicated to drawing animals

That is a pretty good construction sketch

Officially I'm in term 1, but I've done animal construction before in a different course.

You're doing pretty well on the human animal skull.

Interesting studies
Why are you so focused on the proportions of the dragon's head? I would wager it's more useful to just learn to construct and get a general feel for the proportions rather than exact measurements but I guess it depends how you are going to use it

cheers

Uh, I was focused on it for a little while. Mainly because I really wanted to draw anthro dragons. Since then I've moved onto doing what you've said, learning to construct and such. I've made a separate topic in art critique where I'll be posting my studies for critique.
