Our Verdict
This comprehensive head anatomy course excels in providing structured exercises and an engaging, humorous approach. While catering strongly to 3D sculptors, those seeking a deeper understanding of head planes and anatomical features will find this a valuable resource. Some areas for improvement include limited art styles, underdeveloped fat distribution techniques, minimal applicability for 2D artists, and occasional difficulty in following the fast-paced teaching style.
What We Liked

- Instructor's effective teaching method combines humor and essential content, making it easy to understand anatomy and head structures.
- Detailed instruction with clear observation skills development makes it easy for beginners to grasp complex head plane concepts.
- Strong emphasis on digital sculptors with 3D software visuals aids understanding of human head anatomy in depth.
Potential Drawbacks
- Limited art style variety, as the course focuses more on various types of heads rather than diverse styles or ethnic differences.
- Lacks in-depth exploration of fat distribution and inflating techniques like that offered for skull anatomy.
- Might not be as effective for 2D artists due to strong emphasis on 3D sculpting techniques and visuals.
- Fast-paced teaching style can make it challenging to follow along, requiring multiple viewings for some learners.
