You just watched the head drawing student assignment reel. Now watch me do the exact same thing. Same 10 poses. Same 5-minute timer. Same pressure.

Why This Matters

Watching an instructor work in real-time - with mistakes, corrections, and thinking out loud - teaches you more than a polished final drawing ever could.

You'll see:

How I start each pose (egg shape, sail method, tube construction)
Where I second-guess myself and adjust
What I prioritize in 5 minutes vs what I skip
How I handle tough angles (extreme top views, looking up from below)
When I talk myself through the structure

No editing. No cheating. No perfect drawings.

Just me, a timer, and the same assignment you're doing.

Did you know? This lesson is part of a complete step-by-step head drawing course. If you haven't watched from the beginning I highly recommend you do so to get the most out of this lesson.

Ready? Hit play and watch me work through the same challenge.

What You'll Learn

Decision-making under pressure. When you only have 5 minutes, you can't overthink. You have to commit to construction lines, place features, and move on.

Multiple construction methods. I switch between egg shapes, sail method, and tube construction depending on the angle. You'll see when each method works best.

Thinking process. I talk through every decision - where to place the ear, how to handle foreshortening, why I'm adjusting the skull shape mid-drawing.

Mistakes in real-time. I draw ears too big, necks too thick, and skulls that need adjusting. Then I fix them. That's the process.
