Some of doxy's toots

Here's the problem with Loomis, coming from someone who also sucks at art but is trying to get better.

Loomis's heads are meant to show how easy it is to construct a funny character from something you couldn't think could turn in to art. It's not meant to be a 1:1 'this is how you make heads' thing, it's meant to get you used to the most basic ideas of construction in an exaggerated fashion. You're on the right track by trying not to copy his heads flat out for the most part, but seriously, don't get caught in to the oversimplification of it.

The part you want to focus on when it comes to loomis heads is the ball and plain method which is further in to the book.

Here, here's something from Doxxy that I think helps out a lot, and only requires a very, VERY simple understanding of perspective. Like literally take a ruler, draw a horizontal line, and mark two vanishing points on it, then draw a basic box at your desired angle, and you can put your head in the box.

Proportions are off. Head is too small, and for women with wide hips, which is what you seem to be going for, the chest box and the size of the head should roughly be the same width. I think I have an image somewhere that shows this.
