    #32 I was doing Ray Bustos’ anatomy course but I felt like I wasnt getting how to apply the volumes out of it but he breaks down the information into nice easy to remember morsels. I’ve started the Russian approach to figure drawing as it looks to have good videos on constructing the figure and detailed information about the volumes of the muscles and how they insert and interact. I skimmed through the fundamentals part and decided to start on the planes of the head lesson as all of the fundamentals portion is stuff I have already covered. So basically my plan is to follow this and also fulfil Rey Bustos’s course as well in between. This is how far I have got with the planes of the head, finding it quite hard to do the nose really. I’ll pick it up and finish it tomorrow. also, I didnt like the photo reference provided because the planes of the head were shrouded in shadow making the exercise basically pointless, so I got my own reference from an app where you can move the lights round etc.

    #33 well I pushed the chin and mouth to the left a bit thinking it was wrong, now looking at it scanned in Ive realised it was right and now I need to put it back. how annoying.

    I think maybe I fixed it, I looked at it in a mirror and made some changes. Im gonna let my eyes rest and come back to it though.

    anyone got a link to some decent Asaro head reference? I think I will do one of the Asaro head as well just because it has better defined planes.

    today’s effort. work in progress, gonna work the planes back in, then rework the darks, then start bringing the highlights back out tomorrow. following the russian academic course. I have most of the bones of the head memorised and even some names of foramen and eminence.

    Im finished with this skull drawing for now. Im not very happy with the temporal bone transitioning into the parietal bone area, but I think I will work on that at a later date. Im going to label it up and stuff as well because my girlfriend is a med student and she wants to frame it with the bones labelled. doesnt really matter but I hope its decently accurate! :’D

    I think you did a great job! I’m also currently working through the Russian Academic Course and have almost finished the skull lesson. I agree that it was challenging to get the transition from the temporal bone to the parietal bone to read correctly, but you seem to have handled it very well. (You gave me an idea, too, about framing one of my skull drawings for my son who is a med student!) As far as a decent Asaro head reference, I found a 3D Model on Sketchfab.com. Awesome job on your 100 Day Challenge so far!

    @elizabethhone thank you, I saw youre also doing the course. you seem to be handling it better than myself. Im finding myself completely bored doing these skull assignments, the idea of doing six skulls from reference then 6 from imagination is just putting me off picking up the pencil at all.

    #37 constructed skulls with reference. these are pretty bad because instead of using sight measurements or pencil measurements I was trying to start looking at the reference less and use the points Illya taught to construct the skull. I tried a few different ways and tried combining it with vilpu and steves teaching as there really isnt any difference between the way illya does it and the way they do it when you really think about it, its just adding more shapes and complicating it more.

    6 skulls from imagination. I ended up figuring out how to plot the points of the skull in a cube so that helped a bunch. Im going to complete the drawabox course after this as I have already started it and I can see how the drawabox method would compliment the russian academic approach hand in glove.
