headshots

91 heads
53 unique angles

This started as a reference sheet, but it soon took on a life of its own. Seriously, where do you people keep coming from? SERIOUSLY.

Ta DA!
A female version of this is in progress and will be ready soon.  16 heads down...75 to go. If you check out the WIP pic up close, you'll see I've got a much nicer pen tool this time around.  I'll be doing a lot more refs in the near future, so please also ANSWER THE POLL for which ref you want to see first.

Edit 8/28/11: Can I just say, um, whoa and thanks? It looks like someone suddenly decided to put up a huge, honking Look At THIS sign on the internet pointing to this deviation. In fact, yep, there is, and the sign belongs to FOERVRAENGD. Thanks. The comments alone made this week for me. WhiteShinigami has won a llama for the line: "sweet friggin cheezus O .O"

Thanks also to ArtistsHospital, Drawing-Tutorials, and Animal-Anatomy for requesting to feature this in their groups.

Using as a Ref: I'm completely cool with people using this as a reference for drawing those difficult head angles. But link back to this deviation.  Share the love. Exercise restraint.

Thanks again,
E.C.
