Today I did some Loomis head practice with my friend. I started with a simple 2/3 head position with him hugging his pillow

I'm learning using my wrist and shoulders. I think I messed up the nose a bit. The structure lines are very vivid. But I like that I got the face proportions. I think the shading is nice. Weirdly, he isn't posing for me.

He was just sleeping when he was supposed to read.

I messed up the facial proportions here.

I feel like his face was a little bit flatter than is should normally be. But the exercise was not to get it right..It was just to get it done. Plus there was a power outage and my battery was dead so, why not.

He kept moving, I felt this was an opportunity to practice thumbnail, I guess? Anyway...

I tried to bury the structure lines in this one. cause...its the back of his head...its just a circle and square...

He has 2 ears...The second circle in the side of the head from Loomis is hard to visualise though.

This time, I get to show his bit of foreshortening from under the head. I liked it very much. The forehead is small, the nose region is bigger and the chin is the biggest. All my Loomis and Rielly lines paid off.
