Thanks for the feedback guys!
-lower top of skull be about a pixel
-remember that hair tends to add about a pixel to two pixels extra due to how fluffy it can be
Yup, as soon as I shortened their skull it looked a lot better and less cone-head-ish. It looks like I don't have to change the hair to match though, due to fluffiness.
try to sketch out where the hair comes from before starting on the overall shape
Good advice! I was trying to keep an idea of where the crown was, but I never really started there with the sketching and did jump ahead to blocking out the shapes. I'll give that a try in the future but haven't had the time yet for this edit.
For the side views maybe move the skull back about 1 pixel. It will help give it that round skull kind of shape.
Hmm, do you mean widening the skull back, or moving the whole thing? I tried both but it looked weird to me in both cases. In the former case, it does make the head rounder but I'm used to heads being a bit more elliptical I guess?
Maybe add more hair near the top half of the back of the head as well.
This looked a lot better, as the lack of hair on the back made the head look kind of caved in.
Here's my edits so far, it's nothing major as I could still experiment more with the feedback but I think it's still an improvement.
