June 30 Sketchbook Pages Challenge Day 8

This was a rougher drawing day for me but still good practice I think. I couldn't decide what I was in the mood to draw, but I wanted to tackle some of my weaknesses in head structure, so I looked some more into the loomis head method. There are a couple main areas of struggle for me 1. My line quality is poor because I consistently get too hasty with my line placement. I have to slow down far more than I would like if I want my lines to be clean. Mostly I need to insist to my self that every single stroke needs to be considered before it is placed. That patience is definitely something I have been building over time. 2. My circles and ellipses are far too inconsistent. I was trying my best to ghost in the circles and ellipses, but I only got what I wanted a small percentage of the time. This badly affected my loomis heads, because the heads' measurements would distort with a poorly drawn sphere, and an awkward ellipse would completely change the perspective of the head. I also find it exponentially easier to draw a head that looks masculine compared to a feminine looking head. It seems to be that very nuanced and miniscule changes finally amount to a feminine appearance. I'd love to be able to control that well. What I want to prioritize right now is exercises for drawing circles and ellipses. I am far more confident with straight lines compared to curved ones, so that will be my target for exercises.

June Sketch Day 8

Late post, fell asleep after got back from vacation. I drew these three from references to sharpen my visual library. Probably as much as i needed before hopping into drawing from imagination. To me, there's a lot room for improvements, because these drawing still not great. If you have any advices, truly i'd be grateful to hear it. Ignore the top left, its from yesterday :)

Portrait study

Trying to get into realism, but I just can’t get it right, especially the eyes. Any tips would be much appreciated
