@@IykizDesign I used the Loomis method for a long time and recently switched to grid. I like to overlay a rough Loomis on top of the grid too. I have a difficult time without a grid with multiple people or when there's arms or anything else other than just a head. I'll definitely use more "cheats" when there's a commission. I'll challenge myself more when I'm working on something for myself. 😄
Thanks for giving the tips about the different types of pencils! I've never known what all the letters meant. What tool did you use to create the white spots in the eyes and the hair lines over the brushed charcoal? Is it some type of eraser pencil? Going to try to get some start up gear and want to know what I will need as a beginner.
Grid file is in the description! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think! 😊
This is fascinating. I would love to learn this method. I need to set aside time.
@@shannonbretz6455 you can do it!! 😁
Love it kayleen! I love your grid hack! I can see that being a game changer!
@@kristaellyson3771 it makes drawing soooo much faster! 😍
You are so talented, friend!
@@AshleyHolmquist-n6v 😄 thank you! 🥰
Oh fun! The grid method is my favorite but I’ve never tried the grid on photoshop. So smart
Saves a ton of prep time! 🤩
Smart way to avoid the grid lines. I personally don't use the grid method but I guess it would be helpful for commissions.

YES! It's an eraser. I couldn't do without it. Here's the link :) amzn.to/4eMPUN3
Kayleen used a Tombow Eraser. It’s a must have for anyone doing graphite or charcoal drawing. Amazon sells them.
@BigTJK yes! Good eye! I could not draw without it! It's super cheap too.

Nice, thank you. Another simpler way of getting drawings to work. It’s a shame you use photoshop though as that’s annoyingly pricey software.
@didactylos2 I have an old license of CS5. But even if you don't want to use photoshop you can still apply this method to your drawings!
