This website helped me so much on drawing boxes and organic forms. I don't know how there is not a single lesson about drawing human head and figures here. I started to learn drawing human heads and figures. Can anyone recommend me any youtube videos where they they how to draw human head using 3d forms?
Thank You!
I would like to know too
I'll quote the explanation I gave when I was recently asked about this on our discord chat server:
Nope, no plans to do that. I do get it, it's normal to want to continue in the place where you feel you've been able to grow, rather than having to find a new place to continue that growth, but that's not good for students, and it's not good for me either.
I teach spatial reasoning well because it's all I've focused on for so many years. I understand the struggles students work through when it comes to balancing how they approach learning, because I've talked to students about it so much.
But every topic one teaches requires them to dedicate an inordinate amount of time and self-reflection, to analyzing that topic, how they engage with it, how students engage with it, etc. if it's to be done properly.
I have not done that for figure drawing, and I honestly don't want to. I'm really looking forward to the overhaul one day being complete so I can reduce how much time I spent teaching to just keeping the community running smoothly, talking to students here, making the odd video on topics I think are worth covering within the scope of what Drawabox deals with, and probably hanging onto providing feedback for Lesson 7.
But I want the time to spend on my own projects back.
To provide that to students, I'd have to push that off by years, or take the easy route of putting out shoddy material (and the original Lessons 8-12 were shoddy) knowing that my students would still eat it up because it came from me. It'd be very lucrative to do so, but it's fundamentally against the principles with which Drawabox operates.
While setting up Drawabox as a one-stop-shop to teach every concept would definitely help us generate a lot of revenue, it would inevitably result in lower quality content that delves into many more topics, but at much less depth, and that doesn't really align with the principles I hold to when working on Drawabox and making decisions on how it should progress. Instead, I think it makes more sense to leave it to other instructors to cover those other topics, and students getting used to the idea of getting their information from many different sources, instead of just one.

I highly yyyy recommend anime charlie for figures and heads. He explains things neat and orderly and his work is very easy to visualize what body parts looks like what shape and its proportions ect! Its one of the few people I use to learn anatomy shapes from.
Drawabox isn't the be-all, end-all of drawing fundamental education. Our approach prioritizes certain concepts over others, and while we believe it do so for good reasons, ultimately it doesn't appeal to everyone. If Drawabox simply doesn't work for you, give Proko's Drawing Basics course a try - at the very least, you'll probably find it to be a hell of a lot more fun.
