Thanks, Darktiste. I actually like more into on storytelling than animator. The reason I do gesture stuff because I wanted create more emotion behind it. Also somehow I suppose it could help me to draw loosely too. Or I think it looks fun. Lol. Anyway, I'm doing these because I kinda have some vision for what I want. But honestly I actually a little scare for this vision approach as well

The worst that can happen is not doing it.You don't have to show it to the whole world.You don't even have to show it if you don't want to.

It a pretty common mistake.I am not sure if you are drawing those head from memory but it seem like it what you are doing to me i am not feeling like you are actually trying to understand the structure of thing but just reproduce what you see which is more about value than structure.I have the feeling you draw more what you see and try to guess until you get happy accident correct me if i am wrong but the quality of your line suggest this to me.


You can find an example of the mistake i am sharing with you here.About hair and what underneat

Edit* Going back a little in this sketchnook i notice a few head construction i think you just want to try to do atleast 10 of those every week that seem like a reasonable goal i would say.If you got more time and feel like you would benefit from it try more.But if anything try to get caught up in the detail you want to go with wireframe and value and line i would say.

I also can't help but notice your grasp of different styles too- painterly, line/ink, graphic, and even a deliberate control of shape language. Seeing that you're working on more humans lately, I can already imagine the possibilities combined w your level of polish and storytelling :) keep em coming dude
