How to Draw the Head and Face from an Angle

  • From my drawing series-I've shown you how to draw individual features, and in my last video I demonstrated where to place them on a head that's facing forward. Now I'll explain how to put them together on a face in profile and at a 3/4 angle with correct proportions, the Andrew Loomis/Alex Ross way! I'll demonstrate the basic idea on generic heads, and then I'll apply it to Audrey Hepburn and Paul Newman!
    I encourage you to practice on your own. It's a fun way to work!
    My previous video is here:

    Andrew Loomis' amazing book "Drawing the Head and Hands" reeeealllly shows you how to do this, and it's here:

    that guy loomis is the real mvp,
    with this method becomes really intuitive to enstablish the proportions of the head
    even at extreme angles

    The best loomis method video on the whole of UA-cam. Thank you for your awesomeness and your creative genius. 😊🎨🌻

    One of the best demonstrations of how to use the Loomis method to draw actual people. Thank you!

    Thank you for these and making the Loomis way available to those who do not have access to his seminal books, treat! And even though Andrew's books are "dated" in age only, I have found that so many current working professionals were influenced heavily by his writings. Timeless comes to mind.
    And thanks for 2 of my favorite movie glamour stars...

    Holy cow! Andrew Loomis's model is a game changer for me. Thanks for sharing!

    Excellent tutorial. Lots of tutorials talk about the Loomis method - start with a circle, lop off the sides etc etc - but very few show you the method being applied to actual faces. Very helpful. Many Thanks, Kelly.

    Knowing that even you had to draw them twice with your level of skill and experience made me feel better about my attempts. Thank you so much for these tutorials. I’m getting much better.

    I've watched quite a few videos teaching this technique and I think you're video has been the icing I've needed on this cake. The way you demo and instruct are so clear and concise, it's incredibly encouraging. Thank you for sharing your knowledge like this! 💖

    Funny thing is I got to this video by searching up a brand of watercolor paper on youtube that just so happened to be mentioned in a description of one of your "watercolor mistakes" videos haha. Then I clicked your account and found these and it's like finding the city of gold! I can't believe I've never heard of this method before and I can't wait to try it, and I'm definitely going to check out that book you mentioned. Thank you so much!!

    thank you
    so much
    I'm a lifelong artist too
    and am also aware of Andrew Loomis
    but you explained his technique so much better
    I've been on the look out for artists like you
    who demonstrates techniques step-by-step
    where I can just imitate behind you and practice for myself until it's memorized lol
    my background and influences began with
    Burne Hogarth
    Paul Ryan
    John Buscema
    Steve Epping
    Jack Hamm
    Giovanni Civardi
    your video has simply helped me overcome just a couple more obstacles in my own art lol
