Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello all. Been a while since I posted here. (Honestly I haven't done much art recently)

I've decided tonight that the majority of my bodies being drawn are ok, as well realized that I don't really focus on the head when drawing the rest of the body, so now I've decided to do head study. (drawing the head, face, hair, neck, and where the neck connects to the shoulders.)

I'd really appreciate some help on this as I think I'm getting nearer to actually liking almost all of the pictures I draw. On to the images!

This is a two for one! The guy on the left is based lightly (very lightly) on one of the faces drawn in a Mark Crilley how to draw video. (the first how to draw hair if you must know) and the girl is out of my head. I'm still not quite to the out of my head being great, but I'm getting there. Anyway, Ignore the eyes looking weird at this point as I couldn't find my pencil sharpener and I didn't have a pointy tip on my pencil for drawing details. So they eyes are a mess. On to the next.

This one is entirely out of my head as well. I think I did much better at this one. O-o Is it really just me or are men easier to draw then women? Anyway, crying I need help with ears... That's the only thing majorly wrong that I can see. Let me know if I am wrong on this though.

Ok, not my best. I admit... Ear sucks again (Really need help on ears) but it's overall ok IMO.

Thanks to anyone reading or helping out. ^_^ I appreciate it.

Thanks for the advice... Anyone else see anything?

if you arent already doing it, the best way to start out is drawing heads with the basic adding the cheek lines and chin to a circle. it works from all angles and gives a good basis for where the features go. im sory i cant put up an example, but im sure theres a tut on here somewhere.
