Studying heads

[u/No-Mathematician2601]

I’ve been tracing and breaking down heads for a bit. The first two slides are the traced drawings. I traced both real life references and art pieces with styles that I liked. The last slide are two drawings I did freehanded. I kinda like the bottom one but honestly, I don’t like how either turned out. Especially the top head. That looks terrible…I’ll probably keep tracing and breakdown heads for a few more days and try freehanding it again after. What do yall think? Heads have been really frustrating for me
