Hey man, I just wanted to share that I am 37 and re-learning how to draw. I taught myself as a kid, was OK, but not professionally trained ever. Very much looking forward to going through all your videos. I greatly appreciate the content and drawing insight.
Then pick up the books by Andrew Loomis. His teacher Geroge Bridgman and his contemporary Burne Hogarth. Those are all the books we used at the Chicago Art Institute to teach anatomy and reinforce the drawing basics.
This video is actually blessed. Lots of people talk about what to do, but don't draw as they go. Then others draw but don't explain. Your video is a godsent. Thank you!
I've watched several of these, but this is the easiest for me to understand. I'm an oil painter who does many portraits, which I seem to get through, but your video will help me become faster with more confidence hopefully as I'm laying out my paintings. Thanks very very much!!
Getting back into drawing and out of all the videos I've seen with heads, this video is the one to watch. I truly am thankful for the video and feel like with some more practice I can nail down this Loomis Method. Thanks again.
Wow... I`ve been watching many videos about heads,methods and Loomis explained... so far this one has been the most simple and clear. Thanks and looking foward for more.
Thank god. This is what I’m looking for. Before this, I looked “how to draw faces from any angle”, and this platform just showed tutorial videos of Korean artists. I had to watch the tutorial and subtitle at the same time 😢
This video helped me so much. I'm going to sign up for an art school, and I need 10 projects to submit for them to let me in. I'm studying to improve before then. This was so helpful in helping me study face structure. Thank you❤️
I wouldn’t copy this. Some things are correct but the drawings look very wrong. Most of the heads lack the amount of cranium the head actually needs to house a brain.
What's crazy is I've struggled with heads for a long time. I'm much more logical and I need specific lines and shapes I can adjust if needed. The normal draw head tutorials just never worked for me Even the moment you saying the video is going to quick was exactly when I paused it like geez slow down my guy. Top notch. I'll be looking more into loomis. It's really interesting.
Great post. I watched, stop and draw ever step And repite it, many times My mantra now is: CIRCLE, sides, CROSS, Hair Line Brow line, Bottom of NOSE, CHIN. Repite ….!!!! Excellent
thank you so much. i have been trying to draw using the bridgeman's constructive anatomy book and other books. these videos are the only thing that has made some sense. you simplify it so well. i hope you do some anatomy drawings. again, thank you.
“I know this was a lot of information” that was GREAT INFORMATION. Very useful, thank you. New subscriber here and I found this to very helpful in understanding angle direction when for faces when it comes to 3-Dimensional space.
This works for cartoonish artstyles too if you take some brief measurements of your character's facial proportions first. Found that on my character, the mouth actually lined up pretty perfectly with the bottom of the circle, and it was easier to draw them if I separated the circle into 1/3rds instead of 1/4ths.
Added you to my playlist. I plan on covering the same topic. However I don't want to start from the beginning. I want to come from another angle. Later on when I make the video I would like to put a mention in the description. My approach will basically be today we are going to draw a loomis head for this portrait. If you would like to understand the method please review the Drawing Explained in this playlist. What do you think?
It's better to learn how to draw and rotate a box. If you can do that it eliminates a lot of the guess work you'd be doing with this method. Also builds spacial awareness.
Thank you for this informative video! I wanted to draw a poster for a book of mine, but had no idea where to start, but now I think I got the general idea, so thanks!
I am honestly so thankful of this tutorial it really helped me a lot since I'm very new to this kind of stuff but this was perfect I finally drew my first portrait type photo
You'd be surprised, joking aside. Many artists use circle templates. There are these stencils you can buy that have different stencils sizes for basic shapes. And obviously we use rulers. I have a shaky hand. It is what it is but it's not going to stop me from making art and improving my art. In fact I felt a lot better about it when I bought a book where it actually recommended that artists use these for consistency and quickness. You spend less time looking at your circle to make sure it's perfect.
I love your explanation!! Is there another video in which you explain how to adjust loomis head method to the specific person we're drawing (to achieve similarity)?
If you need to use different color pencils ✏️ & when I found Loomis on Google I tried it and I was holy it works 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😊 but I watch others as well Brad's art school David finch Kaycem This guy 😊 Ink
In the illustration of head in a side angle view, how do you decide the size of the ellipse? once you draw the ellipse and eye brow line and the nose line, with what measurement do you place the center line?
I'd argue that "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth" is his best book. Drawing the Head and Hands is not very approachable. That's why this is a hodge-podge version of the method. Even "Fun with a Pencil" isn't very fun.
👉 If you were drawing along with me, make sure to let me know how it went! this can help me improve my videos to help you as much as possible! 💯
Andrew Loomis rules !!!👍👍👍👍👍
It went really well. May I message you what I drew?
@@NerdyScubaDiver sure!!
Maybe give me a wetransfer link, or a url

No bs, no shaming, just straightforward instructions. Five thumbs up

Roger that - Sounds great. I appreciate the recommendations@@Hyperguyver2
This video made me realize my head looks stupid from any angle.
Perseverance is the key to perfection!
Same. Does yours curve too?
Just scale it smaller or wider etc
Guys I think you ain’t gettin the joke
🤣🤣🤣❤️
This vid is one of the best descriptions of the Loomis methods I've seen yet. Looking forward to seeing facial features and a complete head.
Thank you! Love that you enjoyed it! Im
Trying to release more videos, but i got alot going on in my personal life. Hooe to pit out a new video soon!
This video is actually blessed. Lots of people talk about what to do, but don't draw as they go. Then others draw but don't explain. Your video is a godsent. Thank you!

I’ve used this technique many times. It takes a couple of attempts before you feel confident. I like using conte pencils for that DaVinci look.
Oh my days u just helped me with like every problem i had in drawing. Now pls improve my life
Thanks, as a beginner struggling with head, i went from 1 to 7 instantly. This anatomy was all i needed.
Thank you you have the clearest easiest demonstrations to follow. And you're going at a good pace as well. Thank you.

Thank you so much , this is one of the wonderful videos that explain Loomis method ❤😍👍
EXCELLENT tutorial; this, along with drawing w/ grids has opened my eyes to what is possible. Thanx!

I’m doing heads and eyes now that are kinda great in like 3-4 mins I’m so hapoy

Great video, you explained things well. I just attempted practicing this video. Am looking forwards to the next one. Thanks for the video.
Looking forward to the video about finishing facial features for these heads
This is a great video. Thank you so much. I will be following you.
This was a fun exercise. V happy with the results
@@Tamutu-1 glad to hear!
Nice method. Now, I only have to learn to draw a circle.

best video I ever seen. Ty
Can you redo this video for a childs head as well, as their heads are proportioned very differently from an adult head?
Just do the same but smaller and more rounded.
Wow!, this actually is really good technique
@@avnish_s thank you
I'd argue that "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth" is his best book. Drawing the Head and Hands is not very approachable. That's why this is a hodge-podge version of the method. Even "Fun with a Pencil" isn't very fun.
This was a great video, I am an artist as well, but I have a hard time with faces, this was great
Taught me some things I've been trying to draw
Glad i could help ;)
so no just work on eye placement and details right
@@antioneaustin6808 yes , i speak about some of that in my other videos, feel free to check it out ;)

My pleasure!
I am in shock. I could never get heads to look right. But I could follow along perfectly with this method, and my heads don't look deformed!
glad i could help!
