You did the assignment. Now see what tripped other students up - and how to fix it. Common mistakes include wrong neck angles, missing skull volume, ear placement errors, and getting lost in details instead of structure.

You did the assignment. You watched the student reel. Now watch me do the exact same 10 poses in real-time - mistakes, corrections, and thinking process included. No editing, no perfection, just structure under pressure.

*You've learned the theory. Now it's time to practice. This timed assignment gives you 10 poses at 5 minutes each to apply skull construction, box method, and everything you've learned so far. No overthinking - just draw.*
Drawing Tutorials
We've been learning skull construction, planes, and overlapping forms. But did the old masters actually use this stuff? Let's map construction lines over Holbein and Raphael drawings to find out. Spoiler: the structure is absolutely there - you just need to know where to look.

Series finale: Learn to connect the head to the body with neck muscles, understand overlapping structures, and recap the complete box construction system. Includes full series summary and practice assignment.
Drawing Tutorials
Master complex angles with box construction. Learn the barrel notch technique for eye sockets, how to box out the skull using parallel lines, and why difficult angles expose weak structure.
Drawing Tutorials
Convert the round skull into box construction using the hitch technique. Learn to identify top vs side plane transitions, use the temporalis line, and break out of smooth circles for dimensional heads.
Drawing Tutorials
Master jawline construction to avoid the amateur mask look. Learn bilateral symmetry, finding jaw angle landmarks, the digastric plane, and why squaring off beats the horseshoe shape.
Drawing Tutorials
Master nose construction using box method. Learn how the nose protrudes in its own direction, how foreshortening compresses distances, and why ear placement shifts dramatically when the head tilts back.
Drawing Tutorials
Break the face into planes using box construction. Learn eyebrow landmarks, the 5-eyes rule, front vs side plane transitions, and how face width changes from forehead to cheeks to jaw.
Drawing Tutorials
Level up from basic skull construction to box method. Learn why structure equals form plus position, how different shapes give different information, and why more corners mean better understanding of head angles.

See how I approach 10 quick head studies in real-time. Learn which structural methods work for different angles, how to make fast decisions, and why staying loose beats trying to finish.
