How the FUCK do I draw these as forms and not "distorting the lineart so it appears to be at a different angle when I haven't drawn any sense or hint of dimension just surface-level copying of the lineartdrawing 2D shapes pretending to be 3D forms and not 3D formsthe drawing's epidermisI can see that mine from imagination have mistakes, the problem is I seem unable to learn from those mistakes.Instead I keep making them over and over again no matter what (namely flatness and oversized noses and mouths)>learn proportionsYou can see on the images that I have the Da Vinci chin, nose and keystone third-lines.On the very top one you can also see the lip corners-eye middle and nostril lateral side-eye medial corner lines as well (which do appear to curve going by page 17 of Morpho's "Face, Head, and Neck" book.>Why MorphoIt is the only fucking book series to go into FAT, which is what actually makes up the forms you see on the body>Then why are you doing the headYou have to do Simplified Forms before you can do fat (Anatomy for the Artist doesn't hurt either)However, the heads in Simplified Forms are grotesque aliens with zero expression. Most of the heads in FaceHeadNeck are too, but there ARE heads that aren't.More importantly, it deconstructs the head. And that's what you need to be able to view these fucking heads as more than just 2D shapes pretending to be 3D forms
>>7728262morpho heads are ugly as hell. not sure why anyone would see those and want to copy them.
>>7728263why would someone want to do ecorche you don't wanna look at women and just see fat and muscle moving around
>>7728262don't copy morpho faces, they're ugly as fuck
Is this how active learning works
still drawing contours and not forms
>mfw the "landmarks" book is actually a better version of simplified forms
>>7730214specific example
>>7730261vs
The ugly Morpho faces are kino and I'm tired of pretending they're not. Them and the faces from the "Framed" series are ugly-interesting, like the Aeon Flux cartoon.
>>7728262you need to study perspective and how forms look in different positions because its clear you dont know and its painfully showingyou're not even following your centerline and the circle base you used is useless, your forms should hang off of the cranium, it just looks like a floating circle the way you have it
>>7730336What would you recommend for someone who constructs like thisLike specifically for drawing things in different positions from imaginationI'd do cartoon characters but that's why I'm doing Morpho in the first placeTo get a handle on what the simplified forms represent
>>7730270What's FramedSounds intriguing
>>7730938marcos mateu-mestre's series of drawing manualsframed ink, framed perspective, etchere's a page from framed drawing techniques>>7730270very true. limiting yourself to drawing conventionally attractive faces can get a little boring and repetitive, there's such a wealth of expression to be found in "ugly" faces
>>7730936Here's an actual attempt at constructing a Morpho headOne where I didn't completely feel like I was copying off the original lineart
>>7730967the original in question
>>7730967And then from memory
>>7728262construction is the biggest beg trap desu. you have failed the test
>>7730938
>>7731103only if you're doing anime
>>7730967you're on the right track but you stopped following the centerline when you included the chin, draw your guidelines first then construct while keeping the centerline in mindscott robertsons how to draw would help you, do a couple of pages of those mirrored shapes, work on mirroring just 2d shapes then 3d, dynamic sketching/drawabox also helps to develop sensitivity to form
>>7731591this part right
>>7731914here's today's stuff after learning the robertson basics
>>7731919
>>7731583if you're doing anythingcreating ugly morpho heads as a pre/beg/ only means you know how to create more ugly morpho heads
>>7728262Morpho is the biggest scam. the person who makes these books is not even an artist, look at their work its all garbage. its like taking swimming lessons from someone who can barely dog paddle
