Oh, hello there, internets!

I really, really, really want to be helpful. I do.

But I can't, because I'm too busy worshiping your art.

I did not see you there.

This kind of comment, while nice, is spam here. Please don't post useless comments. The point is to give helpful feedback.

Slow, I'm going to suggest you start doing paintings of skulls. Then look at how the muscles rest on the skull. I think that will help your heads have more volume and keep your features consistent and in the "right" place.

Also, I notice that you're cutting off the top of the skull with the hair. Try shaping the whole head before you add hair so that doesn't happen. The hair is a separate volume on top of the head.

well while this works there is an easier to draw heads. i can post it later if you're interested. or you can try to look it up. i think its called 7 eye proportions...i think

I'm all for anything that will help, Folken.

Errol: I'll try that too! I do have issues with placement.

sure okay i'll try to post something tonight i'm gonna be busy with errands and house work for most of today

There is a difference in the quality of work and the versatility of someone who knows what to do and someone who knows why they do it.  

[Folken_Schezar]

not to cut down what you are trying to say, cause i feel that way too. but there is more then one way to understand something. i personally found it easier to teach understanding of the face thru proportions rather then anatomy, since there is so much more information one needs to understand to build a face up from the skull.

..... ok well - I see nothing wrong in trying both ways.... I'm fairly positive I could learn something from drawing the skull, muscles etc like errol said and I'm pretty sure I'll learn something from Folken's way as well.

It's good to know the underneath so I'm not refusing either method. I could mesh the two....

I don't turn down help. heart

No problem - not in a rush xD *points to her display name*

haha i hope you didn't think i forgot about you ^_^ but this is basically one of the ways i learned how to draw heads ( funny story about how i learned it tho) anywho its a semi skull in a cube and the cube is there to help you remember the plane changes on the face

if anything is unclear let me know
