Just watched a youtube video by a man with a shaved head, burne hogarth seems so wrong about the midpoint of the face/skull being the bridge of the nose
#with hair yes#but B.H. diagrams are all extremely bald?#idk probably it was the camera lens or smth

Michael Hampton being weirdly insistent that if you rotate something, then you can see the side of it

Books
I’ve been downloading (but not reading) these for years, there are many more than listed here, these are just the ones i’ve opened and tried to work from
Andrew Loomis's face and figure drawing books
Burne Hogarth's anatomy book
"Anatomy for Sculptors" by Uldis Zarins
Michael Hampton’s “Figure Drawing: Design and Invention”
First impressions: Loomis is interested in rendering with surfaces and light, Hogarth with blobby masses, Zarins in practical details, Hampton with posture. I like Loomis's finished results best.
Tools
Blender3D's "Sculpting" mode, pencil and paper, Clip Studio PaintKrita?
Progress so far
I got a little sidetracked learning Blender first, but had been meaning to do that anyway. I think my computer might need more memory (or more likely i need to learn how to keep polygon count down better when sculpting meshes)
#vids i watch seem to think a few million triangles reasonable for a realistic sculpture but my machine chugs after a couple hundred thousand#also i'm old and think of ''low-poly'' as being like _dozens_
