at first: People should understand that there is NO definitive method. The ones crittizing Loomis' method or other methods are forgetting that. Instead we should experiment different methods and approchings, finding in each of them aspects that help us further. This "paper" approach is also very insightful and I will definitely make use of this. Thanks Sinix for sharing his knowledge with us :)
*THIS* I wish someone had told me this, I spent so much time trying the Loomis method and got really frustrated, I stopped drawing for two years because I thought I'd never be able to achieve anything. Now I am more open minded, tried this and got better results. But I'm sure there are others who will have better results with the Loomis method, you gotta be open minded when it comes to art.
MAAAAAANNNNNN DUDE BRO!!!! This is the first video I watched of Sinix and I'm blown away by how easily he taught me this in less than 10 minutes. I'm not kidding; it's like I felt my brain rewrite neural connections to forget what I've know from my 32 years on this planet and re-learn this method. This is what happens when teaching goes right. You get inspired to create. I know I am. Thanks, Sinix.
sinix, i really gotta say this, you are such a positive influence on my art - i dont even know how to describe it. a few years back i was really awful at drawing (maybe i still am, idk) but i enjoyed it a lot, until i hit a brick wall, no more motivation, fun, i hated everything i worked on. i found your shiny mech video through some yt recommendations or something and it just gave me that motivation back, that was probably 4 years ago. ever since then ive always been watching your stuff. while i do like your art style, i think the biggest influence youve had on my work was in terms of workflow, finding inspiration and most importantly: enjoying what i do. so thanks for that! and you know, for the genuinely helpful informations about drawing fundamentals. I GUESS. hope that comment wasnt too long and creepy. whoops.
We need more of these kind of tutorials that are not based on rules, like draw a circle OK, now draw a curved line, draw two balls, draw one more curved line. Now that's a face. Do it again over and over. This tutorial essentially relies more on your ability to see, which is what you need to have as an artist.
Mars you're all rigth man, I'm Brazillian, but a follow and see everyday the sinix's channel, Sinx you're the best. thanks for all PS: If have something write wrong, sorry because a don't domine de English.
I had watched this video a while ago, thought it was interesting but didn't try it because "I have been drawing heads for 15+ years no problem." Fast forward to this month working on a comic idea I found myself struggling to keep my characters consistant in the style I was trying to achieve. No matter how many studies I did of my references, they would look all wrong. Headaches everywhere, felt like I was hitting a wall. But then I remembered THE PAPER!!! Using this method really helped me iron out those issues I was having. Honestly, I might never go back. Thank you Sinix for being an amazing teacher and sharing this with us!
God, I've been struggling with the loomis method for more than a year now, and it never came out right. I spent an hour just drawing curved paper and already I can see a huge jump in the quality of my art and the organic forms of my faces. This is really an awesome technique for people that can't get ridiculously technical! Thank you so much for sharing!
Tried Bridgman too! Helped a lot with my anatomy and my hands have jumped in quality like no tomorrow, but it still didn't feel comfortable for me, and would throw me right out of my drawing.
Same here. The Loomis method was great for me to start drawing from imagination, but only after I studied other artists like Burne Hogarth I feel like I got the grasp for drawing heads/faces, and this technique from Sinix, just a great adition to my mind.
This video helped me DRASTICALLY improve my art. I seriously can't thank you enough. When I used to draw heads with circles I could never make them look up or down or with any dynamic pose. I'm so glad I learned this at a young age.
This seems better than the methods I see splattered across UA-cam that say "from any angle" but only cover the same 3: profile, side profile, and maybe 3/4 view if they were ambitious. Plus they would only draw adult males. Proko was one exception to the angles part, but it takes so long to obtain any progress.
seeing the curved "sheet of paper" just unlocked a part of my brain I was struggling with lol. foreshortening the facial details in the extreme poses is what I need practice on - like what you said they fall into that uncanny valley. Nice tips! Thanks for sharing, I'll be keeping this tool in my kit for sure.
Same here. I spent over an hour today trying to draw a head from a low angle to no success, watched this video, tried it again and nailed it in like five minutes. It seems like such an obvious thing but it had just never occurred to me to try this.
I've always drawn circles and wondered why my art looks so flat and lifeless!!! but this is so much better! I'm in love with your channel! thankyouuuuuu!
I've never seen this method before. I tried it out, and now I do feel a little more comfortable drawing faces in different angles. Not to mention it was a lot more fun. Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful!
A really useful thing to do when first using this technique is legit cut up a piece of paper to reference. I find it more help if it's smaller, more square than regular and you're able to hold the paper in hand so you can draw it with the other.
I'm writing my first ever youtube comment because I needed to say it--this changed my life. I've struggled for years with this, and suddenly after a few days, I can draw angles I'd never managed before. I can't thank you enough for making this, and making it available for free, no less. Cheers!
I literally just started crying because I've avoided drawing for about 5 years because I couldn't improve on basic straight angled faces and bodies. I got frustrated that even though I enjoy art I want to be GOOD at it and being stuck drawing the same thing over and over made me discouraged. I dunno what possessed me to search this topic today and click on your video but... everything just clicked for me. The second you showed us the paper masks. I got it. Immediately. It's like my brain just needed the right teacher!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I can finally move on from the place I've been haunted by for HALF A DECADE!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
When you can impress someone by drawing paper :\ As soon as you started drawing in level 2, you broke down all the walls for me. This is a really great tutorial, thanks so much Sinix!!
This technique has exponentially helped my drawings. In a single day, I see so many improvements by going through the steps and practicing throughout the day. Thank you so much.
This simple solution of using a curved sheet of paper as the basis of the head has helped me get past a long standing problem with my drawing skills. Much obliged to you.
Ever since I was a child, I've loved art, drawing specifically. After years of practice, and now currently a university student in arts, this is by FAR the BEST guide I could have EVER come across to draw faces for any perspective. The basic circle shape always confuses me. But this? Made it SO much easier! 😩 Thank you endlessly!! ❤
If you sit down with your sketchbook and watch this video, pause after every step and take 10-15 minutes to practice each step and this turns into the best art lesson you've ever participated in.
I like this refreshing method, but I suggest not abandoning Loomis' or Hogarth's methods of drawing faces. These latter methods are about more than "just" the face, but the entire head (which is where the ellipses, that sinix hates :), come in handy). Loomis and Hogarth's approaches provide geometrically informed introductions to concepts like ear placement, lip overbite, and jawline construction.
Agreed. I love Sinix, but I hope beginners don’t take his authoritative tone too seriously. He made a video where he explained his idea of authority when teaching which totally makes sense, and he is by far one of my favorite teachers on UA-cam, his perspective is so unique. But admittedly I used to follow a lot of his rules a little too strictly and have realized that things like “never use circles in organic drawings” eliminate a whole world of shape language. Look at the way Vilpuu draws, and I think his work is full of life. “There are no rules, only tools”
Currently watching this to reassure myself that I can indeed draw faces, and also because I'm overwhelmed after learning directly that I'm most likely autistic. I'm overwhelmed and this video is helping me to re-regulate. Thank you
Great video ^^ No art teacher has ever said 'no circles' to me before but it clicked with me in a strong, poignant way that I think is really going to help my art. Thank you :D
I've been trying the Loomis method for years, YEARS, and never got it right, tbh I did better by just drawing without it at all. Saw this method some time ago, but I was stubborn, I thought I HAD to learn the Loomis method, and I eventually gave up for good, stopped drawing. This year I went back to drawing again, tried this method from memory...and I finally drew something that resembles a human being, and now I'm here again. I can more or less draw the facial features well, but I have a real hard time combining them into a face, the face always look flat af and not right at all, specially at an angle, but now It looks right. Thank you so much dude, real good tutorial.
i ran into an art block years ago and it kind of made me stop drawing. I've tried to pick it up since and gotten discouraged through my drawings because nothing was clicking anymore. I'm happy to say this made me feel like i've had a real grip on faces for the first time in a while. It made more sense and i could actually start flowing my drawings and sketches better. And for the first time in a very long time felt motivated to draw again. Thank you.
Wow! This is actually the best way to imagine and construct a face, I have never got used to the circle/ sphere method, so now I must start applying and studying like that! Thank you!
This video has literally 180 flipped my perspwctive on human faces, I already know most of the anatomy, amd I feel so relieved to actually start making progress on human faces :') thank you
I've been practicing with the circle methods for so long and getting nowhere. I lost all motivation for drawing. Finding this video gives me a rejuvenated feeling to get my sketch book out and start again. Thank you so much for this video
it's so weird that I've been drawing for so long but I keep forgetting the fundamentals esp when I stop drawing people for a little while for other subjects like landscapes and non organic objects. This is such a great video. should actually have double if not 10x the amount of views. love it.
My god I understand face perspective now. I have NEVER understood the other way with drawing circles. It just goes up and over my head. Can't manage it for some reason. So I am SO GLAD I found this.
every once in a while when I feel frustrated with my art I'll come back to this video (or any of your tutorials really) and it helps me to get out of my head and remember what to focus on. thanks for continuing to remind me how I can enjoy art! ♡
This is a great way to think of the face! I've been having problems visualizing how the face works at extreme angles and this was really helpful, thank you so much for this video!
I'm trying to bring my drawing side back to life after letting it stop around age 12, and my brain has had such immense trouble grasping faces and any angles that aren't just a flat front view. All that to say I've watched hours of tutorials in the last few weeks and this is the first step by step explanation that actually clicks for me. Thank you SO much!!! It feels like a door has been opened lol
Sometimes I 'forget' how to draw faces a bit (or at least forget the building blocks), and I've often struggled with drawing faces from different/unusual angles such as the worm's eye view. This is seriously a game-changer in so many ways; curved paper is so much easier to visualise than the often difficult ball-and-curved-triangular-prisim-thing that some people seem to use!! Having a strong foundation is so important but often hard, thanks so much for this! :)
This is probably the easiest way to draw a face from any angle. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A few minutes and I'm suddenly fearless with angled faces. Bless this video. Subbed.
Oh thanks a lot. Although this video was uploaded 3 years ago, it’s still helping many people. Thank you. After watching this i really feel dumb for not understanding this for years, it’s just so amazing
This video really blown my mind, it clarified in 8 minutes things that I never really understood before and... Idk, it is just gold. It simplifies the complexity of a face in the best way.
This is amazing. I'd never heard of this technique before, but now I love it so much. My faces in perspective/at angles have never looked better. I'm really glad that I saw this video today.
Good tutorial! Breaking it down in "stages" or "levels" makes it useful for both novice and experienced artists, and also for art styles that have dimension but isn't aiming to be realistic. These can also be used as "warmups". I agree with you on circles; using cylinders and cubes helps a lot more when it comes to adding dimension to your drawing. And the human head isn't a perfect sphere after all.
Dudeeee this actually helped so much, I would usually do a circle with a line in it but this helps so much. Your way of thinking is so appreciated lol❤❤
Thank you! I've been so stuck on the Loomis method because I can't visualize how the head and face move together in perspective. Separating the face into its own plane and then giving it the rest of the head once it's figured out really broke me out of my rut and lets me just draw cool faces.
I have a friend just starting with the basics of art. I might send this to him when he becomes more comfortable with perspective and shapes. Thank you! This is so well done.
I've just popped back after watching this video last week. I've been drawing all my life and I'm familiar with the loomis method but it never really worked for me but I have to say this simple advice of looking at it first as a bit of folded paper has changed and improved my faces from any angle I draw them at. Thanks so much for sharing your method, it's really helped and from what I can see in the comments I'm not the only one.
this dude has the most positive vibe nO JOKE. i just listen to him speak and teach me about this stuff while i draw and somehow just listening to him makes my art better??? anyways, keep up the amazing work! i would be a patron but i cant for reasons. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELPPP.
I've been drawing for a long time, but faces still get me from time to time. It's good having these types of exercises to help me get back to the basics. Good stuff.
Oh my God... where has this video been all my life. I’ve always had trougle with this but something about your method clicked with me immediately bless
I know I’m late to the party but this video, more than any other method or explanation, has helped me to construct faces that don’t make me immediately hate what I’m creating. Thank you, friend.
I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I had to break it down to another step (Step 0) because I was having a *really* hard time drawing the curve of the paper. I realized that it's essentially part of a cylinder, so I drew some wide cylinders at different perspectives and used those as a reference point for the plane. I've ... been drawing for a decade. i am felled by curved paper
You know... this is the most helpful video I've ever watched on this subject. Been struggling with faces for a while, but since watching this, I jumped from level 0 to level 3.5 in just a few minutes. I HAVE THE POWER!!!
You're.. Simply... The... Best.... I love your work... I now know how to draw a face facing up and down... Any angle at all in fact... You've changed my method of drawing
Sinix, you learned me to draw a head with a nice face in 30 mins ( combo how to draw a nose and this video ). I will never be thankfull enough and i just can't wait to check out the other tutorials. Thank you a lot, Palmire
This was the best video on how to draw faces from different angles..!! I hate that circle perspective.. your way of drawing head is difficult but more easier.. the way was really informative.. thank you for making this..
I have been shown the light. My art has been saved, my crops are flourishing, my skin is clear. Bless this video.
Like, the zits cleared up, and stuff?

3:00 me having an existential crisis

Underrated comment
What I like about your tutorial is that it's to the point and not long-winded
Sometimes I 'forget' how to draw faces a bit (or at least forget the building blocks), and I've often struggled with drawing faces from different/unusual angles such as the worm's eye view. This is seriously a game-changer in so many ways; curved paper is so much easier to visualise than the often difficult ball-and-curved-triangular-prisim-thing that some people seem to use!! Having a strong foundation is so important but often hard, thanks so much for this! :)
This is probably the easiest way to draw a face from any angle. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A few minutes and I'm suddenly fearless with angled faces. Bless this video. Subbed.
Sir you just blew my mind. My brain just latched onto this so fast, wtf!?! Thank you, you’re amazing.
Oh thanks a lot. Although this video was uploaded 3 years ago, it’s still helping many people. Thank you. After watching this i really feel dumb for not understanding this for years, it’s just so amazing
I can’t draw a sheet of paper without reference I’m basically broken.
It hurts my brain doing this
become a plumber
become a baker
become a farmer
become a brain surgeon
*become god*
This video really blown my mind, it clarified in 8 minutes things that I never really understood before and... Idk, it is just gold. It simplifies the complexity of a face in the best way.
that was so good
I was recommended to watch this as just started learning to draw faces. Every video thus far, start with a circle. This makes so much more sense.
This is amazing. I'd never heard of this technique before, but now I love it so much. My faces in perspective/at angles have never looked better. I'm really glad that I saw this video today.
Wow! thank you, EVERY video says "draw a circle now a curved line..." This is a breath of fresh air!
Good tutorial! Breaking it down in "stages" or "levels" makes it useful for both novice and experienced artists, and also for art styles that have dimension but isn't aiming to be realistic. These can also be used as "warmups". I agree with you on circles; using cylinders and cubes helps a lot more when it comes to adding dimension to your drawing. And the human head isn't a perfect sphere after all.
I’ve been binge watching videos on face and body anatomy and crap like that and yours is honestly the most helpful.
Dude. Whatever you just showed me made so much sense.
I'll never draw faces the same way again.
Thanks man. Subscribed.
Dudeeee this actually helped so much, I would usually do a circle with a line in it but this helps so much. Your way of thinking is so appreciated lol❤❤
Thank you! I've been so stuck on the Loomis method because I can't visualize how the head and face move together in perspective. Separating the face into its own plane and then giving it the rest of the head once it's figured out really broke me out of my rut and lets me just draw cool faces.
I have a friend just starting with the basics of art. I might send this to him when he becomes more comfortable with perspective and shapes. Thank you! This is so well done.
" first imagine a peice of paper "
"sir, i have aphantasia"
I've just popped back after watching this video last week. I've been drawing all my life and I'm familiar with the loomis method but it never really worked for me but I have to say this simple advice of looking at it first as a bit of folded paper has changed and improved my faces from any angle I draw them at. Thanks so much for sharing your method, it's really helped and from what I can see in the comments I'm not the only one.
SINIX YOU ARE A FREAKING GENIUS 😦💥
this dude has the most positive vibe nO JOKE. i just listen to him speak and teach me about this stuff while i draw and somehow just listening to him makes my art better??? anyways, keep up the amazing work! i would be a patron but i cant for reasons. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELPPP.
I just had a religious experience, I’ve seen god, I know all the secrets of the universe, thank you
I've been drawing for a long time, but faces still get me from time to time. It's good having these types of exercises to help me get back to the basics. Good stuff.
That was dark man, "They almost like to look human but they lack chins and stuff like that" I'll use that quote someday. Nice vid too
Oh my God... where has this video been all my life. I’ve always had trougle with this but something about your method clicked with me immediately bless
lol that paper boi reference at 3:28
Kamishiro Rize i loved it so much lol
I COME BACK FROM YESTERDAY I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I IMPROVED WHIT THIS THANK YOUUU
The 1 dislike is from Andrew Loomis
LMAO
HAHAHA
Roflmao!!!!!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Look for Loomis Method. He draws circle forms. Sinix mentioned him in the video.
His books are really useful to me. A golden guide to beginners.
I know I’m late to the party but this video, more than any other method or explanation, has helped me to construct faces that don’t make me immediately hate what I’m creating. Thank you, friend.
I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I had to break it down to another step (Step 0) because I was having a *really* hard time drawing the curve of the paper. I realized that it's essentially part of a cylinder, so I drew some wide cylinders at different perspectives and used those as a reference point for the plane. I've ... been drawing for a decade. i am felled by curved paper
You know... this is the most helpful video I've ever watched on this subject. Been struggling with faces for a while, but since watching this, I jumped from level 0 to level 3.5 in just a few minutes. I HAVE THE POWER!!!
The way my art has literally upgraded and I’ve watched 2 vids?
First off, this is so unique and even watching the first 5 minutes has helped me. THANK YOU!
3:25 you thought no one was going to notice that “paperboi” was playing in the background?
I thought I was the only one 😂😂
You're.. Simply... The... Best.... I love your work... I now know how to draw a face facing up and down... Any angle at all in fact... You've changed my method of drawing
*_How to draw Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot_*
But for real, nice technique.
We need people like sinix
Who know they dont know what they're talking about so they draw it
5:10 The term you're looking for is uncanny valley.
One video, this video alone taught me to be confident in drawing faces, thank you so much, i have been saved.
drawing paper boys is really fun, i didnt know perspective got this enjoyable
Sinix, you learned me to draw a head with a nice face in 30 mins ( combo how to draw a nose and this video ). I will never be thankfull enough and i just can't wait to check out the other tutorials.
Thank you a lot,
Palmire
Liked the little Atlanta reference in there ;)
Wait where???
Oh yeahhhh the paper boys
This method has helped me so much. Before, I struggled with the placement of eyes but now it’s been completely fixed. Thank you so much
HOW DO I LEARN TO DRAW THE PAPER????
Look up cylinder drawing tutorials. You're essentially partially drawing one of those
This was the best video on how to draw faces from different angles..!! I hate that circle perspective.. your way of drawing head is difficult but more easier.. the way was really informative.. thank you for making this..
