In this video, I documented my 10-day journey to learn drawing head from imagination in any angle. This is also part of my head drawing progress series.
For this challenge, I experimented with the box method, combined it with the Loomis method, traced references, drew from memory, and (of course) ended up with a LOT of weird-looking heads along the way.
It wasn’t easy... but it was super fun and I learned so much.
Hope you find this video fun, helpful, or maybe even a little inspiring :)
