It's been 10 years since I saw this video. I know I'm just some random comment that will be lost in the huge sea of comments you get in your already big channel. I remembered that time this channel only had around 300k subscribers, but I just wanted to thank you for this video because this was the very video that kickstarted the pursuit of my career in art. 10 years ago I was working in the banking industry and I really hated it. And then one day an artist friend of mine (I also would like to thank him as well, he knows who he is) recommended this video, and for the first time, I actually gained some knowledge on how to draw a head properly. Ever since then I kept practicing, drew almost every day, and joined some workshops. Now I am working as a Gaming Artist reaching my first year in the industry by next week. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for changing my life for the better and helping me pursue my passion.
Wow I love this, true story that your dreams can come true if you work hard for them! To know this, that it is possible, is very important for people like me that is still "on the way" to achieve something, thank you so much for sharing
Oh what an inspiring story! I'm currently studying a accounting major, and it's boring as hell. I have always loved art and spent most of my free time just drawing lol. I hope i can be like you. Thanks for sharing
No, you just ram the point into the paper and scratch it like you were holding an itch into your balls. Here's the result. m.ruclips.net/video/hM70wYa9PCM/видео.html
One of the best things about Stan is how he's grown out of his shyness, seeing him in the podcast and later videos compared to his early ones are almost polar opposites. I am very glad to see him show himself closer to his true goofy self. Thank you Stan for giving us a great online resource through the years.
An artist friend of mine recommended me to watch this channel on RUclips if I really want to learn more about art. He told me that he learned how to do it through this, so I help my skills will improve through this as well. I'm looking forward and learning from you. Thank you for these videos! 🥀
I implemented your techniques. Oh my god! Leaps and bounds better in just a couple hours of practice! Been drawing since I was 5 years old and I'm 31. I feel like I have progressed more after your video than my entire life! Thank you @proko
That's why the "I have drawn my entire life" argument has no value. You could have been drawing wrong your entire life and someone who correctly trained for a year can get leagues ahead of you.
@@scottlondon8382 technically sound is skill and art can be objective if he knows the basics he's good if he doesn't he's bad you can tell apart good and bad art did he use perspective? is the colour theory done well? does he use thicker lines for closer objects and thinner ones for objects that are further away? are the proportions correct? etc knowledge makes your art way better
I actually majored in art history and we NEVER covered basic planes of the face in drawing 101 and 102. Granted, it wasn't ART school - but my point IS, fundamentals like these should be part of the core of drawing 101. Planes are the foundation! Thank for breaking Loomis's method down into something simple enough to grasp right off the bat. I just became a subscriber and look forward to future vids. THANK YOU!
Maarten S Thank you very much for the Feedback! We're working hard daily to make sure we're putting out the best possible content for everybody to enjoy :)
filling in the details actually helped because I am good at copying, so, I was able to copy the entire face and get a feel of how me drawing it would be.
I’m just here trying to learn how to draw the basics of faces and I can already feel that your going to become the person that I tell everyone how i learned to draw.
I am an artist too, i was now watching your video and was amazed. To all artists out there lets train to our full potential. And later in the future we can teach many more to come
O' Haev actually I realised if you measure it, his eyes arent in the middle of his head like normal people lol, found out whats the problem now, after drawing 120 Nicolas Cages >D
It's rare for me to comment on a video, but I feel like I have to say this. Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this! In just a few sketches using this technique, I feel like I'm already doing so much better than using the technique a friend showed me. I thought I was a bad artist despite doing my best to improve, but it turns out it's just my friend's way of drawing that isn't right for me... Now I finally feel like I'm starting to understand anatomy properly instead of just drawing sets of lines that never turned out right. I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos and being able to learn even more from you!
Shared these with a friend. He's gone on to purchase your anatomy course. Good teachers are hard to find, great ones even less so. And you sir, are definitely one of the greats.
ruclips.net/video/mIlIr7GmYqE/видео.html If you haven't leant by now I'd suggest this technique, it works for me👌🏻 (I'd skip the first 2 mins of the video)
Thank you for this tutorial. I've been searching for head drawing tutorials all over the internet but couldn't find one simple but detailed enough. You made it really clear and informative. The real life example was extremely helpful!
Great tip, my art teacher told us that lines don't exist in nature. With the exception of print (stripes on a shirt, spots on a leopard, etc) you can draw anything with just shading.
I went to art school, but stopped all painting and drawing over 5 years ago. I decided I wanted to illustrate a story and realized - crap, I need to re-teach myself and practice drawing. My husband is an airbrush artist and we talk about drawing is like music. You can go at it relying on what you see (hear) or you can use techniques to help you see better and/or create a face from your head. Then like music it's practice, practice, practice. As a painting teacher of mine used to say talent is only 30%, the rest is discipline. So, thanks for the refresher.
For the past few years I've been saying, "I wish I'd seen this 30 years ago" about youtube piano tutorials. Now I'm saying it about this one on drawing faces. I spent three hours last night practicing this technique again and again and it's paying off.
+Jashan Friedlaender lol me too ;) I guess we need to keep on trying many many times to get a circle correct. Some do it at 1st (independant on their age) and some (us) don't
I can't believe it's been 10 years since he made this. These videos are still one of the best free resources I've found online. (Other than pirating books)
djtrin Thank you for the kind words! Check out my other video drawing tutorials. I have portrait drawing, figure drawing, and am currently in the middle of human anatomy.
"Draw 100 of these" I've drawn 52 so far and I tell you I can draw pretty damn good circles now. The putting it together perfectly is still a bit wonky with the occasional *amazing* one, but can already feel an improvement. :) Will stick at it.
This video is absolute perfection! 👌🏾 😘 It hits all the important points of Andrew Loomis’ method& explains it so beautifully with the visuals. This video was my missing piece. It helped me to mentally fill in all the gaps I needed from just straight up reading Andrew Loomis’ book. This brought it all together for me so nicely! So thank you for the visual &, the simple & easy illustrations, & all the work put into this video & thank you for keeping it short, sweet & concise 😊
I'm so used to your "dad face" that it feels like seeing a different person in your old videos. It makes me feel old, too. I get the feeling 🥹 Also, I didn't expect to get a reply from you, especially from an old video. What a legend!

AAA this was soo helpful! I might be switching to art in school next year and got a bit anxious about my drawing skills. I decided to practice more often and this helped me so much with drawing heads. You explained it so well and woah it gave me such a big confidence boost! :)
Thank you so much! This video helped me regain my confidence in my drawing skills! I've been having a hard time getting proportions right and this video helped so much!
@@kayaeki how much have you been practicing, if I may ask? Do you just draw the 3/4 view head over and over, or different angles? I'm having a really hard time trying to draw Loomis heads for different angles because I can never quite get them right. it's hard for me to draw the up or down tilt and stuff
@@C.C-e4n Actually right now whenever I draw heads I start with Loomis method. I just opened Pinterest and drew many heads for a few weeks. Once you do that it just ingrained in your brain. If that makes sense haha. Keep drawing ❤️
Definitely the best video I've seen yet on explaining how to draw a head for scientifically minded wannabee sketchers like myself. I'm great when using my head, but tantamount to being useless trying to draw one. Plus, I'm a left-hander too. So many handicaps but I'm really keen to overcome them and learn to be a reasonably good artist. Is it possible to learn to be good at something when you are useless at it? Basically, are artists born or made? Thanks for taking the time and effort to help! :)
Yeah, I really don't see why being left handed would count as a handicap to drawing? Many artists were and are lefthanded. And most art is really about practicing. Drawing is a skill. Skills can be acquired. To varying degrees certainly.
Leonardo Da Vinci was left handed, thats the reason he wrote in much mirror script, beacause its also easier for left handed people when they write like this.
I'm also left-handed, and I don't think it's a handicap. Being left-handed is only a handicap when writing from left to right (because you have to push the pencil forward instead of gently pulling it towards you, and your hand will smudge what you write). I also read somewhere that the ratios between left-handed and right-handed people are different depending on which group you're looking at. There is a higher ratio of left-handed people that are artists, than left-handed people in the population in general. Interesting, huh? :D
Think I should take the "practice this a hundred times" really serious now. If I don't get my ass up and practice practice practice I will never be able to move forward to the "body-anatomy" videos. :'D
I been searching for months for a video that breaks down character like this. I almost gave up. Thanks you bro. I'll be learning a lot from your tutorials🙏🏽💯
Hello there! It's been about 6 years since I had discovered this channel with my old RUclips account 💛😊 I was amazed by then by the content. I learned how to draw a nose here. Thanks @ProkoTv 🌸😊
Big fan of Proko's videos! Have been studying the Loomis method for some time now, and I feel there are a couple of slips in proko's otherwise awesome explanation (correct me if I am the one in error) : a) The circle in perspective inside the sphere is not merely an oval, it is specifically an ellipse b) At 2:10, Proko mentions that when tilting the head upwards/downwards, the "angle" changes accordingly. While the line does rotate, the orientation of the ellipse's minor axis should remain the same (and not rotate as seen on the video) - the minor axis should point to the left vanishing point and since the camera or the plane of the ellipse doesn't shift change in any way, the vanishing point (and the orientation of the ellipse) should stay unaltered! c) ...and a question: At 3:23 Proko clarifies that the face centerline should be at the center of the frontplane, not the head-width. aren't these two the same? Could someone explain why?
Ive spent 2 weeks as a new artists trying to figure out how to begin and where to start. Since I work in IT I have a very technial mind and not a lot of artistic skills. This video was very technical, and I was able to replicate this very well. I now know I want to draw humans in good proportions. Thanks!
1 year into my drawing journey and revisiting some of the core videos that helped me shape my current style. Hopfully this year I make an equal amount of progress. Keep killin it all you lol artist people!
Most of these stuff are pretty advanced and complicated for most people so some art schools might offer diffrent easier methods to learn and understand like the favorite sided traingle or the lemon shape for anatomy that might be easier for some people
I have to say, your tutorial is the best one till now, I had a hard time to assimilate the technicalities from other videos, I simply wasn't able to absorb the information, to learn it. With your step-by-step explanation I finally got it. Thank you🙏

Proko is hands down the best art tutorial RUclipsr
the part at 3:30 reminded me of those tutorials that are like:
1. Draw a circle
2. Add details
3.done
This couldn't possibly be every Tumblr, DeviantArt and Pinterest Tutorial ever oml
+Umbriel Umbra i was scared
Like Spongebob did.
or that one owl picture, Step one draw circles, Step 2 draw the rest of the fucking owl
lol he drew a perfect face erased the details.. and it was a circle xD

I love his lips video. He's definitely one of a kind and his material has a great tendency to stick with you!
Agreed!
I don't get how you have that much trouble with a circle, it's easy, all you have to do is draw a head and erase the details.
🤣 🤣 🤣
Is this a Spongebob reference?
you are the one that i was lookin for well done
That was awesome once I got it.

"Draw some more simple guidelines"
"Now add some small details"

I can relate so much to this comment
hhh
The video was called "how to draw the head", not "how to draw the face". That's the next step.

Think I should take the "practice this a hundred times" really serious now. If I don't get my ass up and practice practice practice I will never be able to move forward to the "body-anatomy" videos. :'D
+Morganshield and remember to use references!
Lanafanafififopeper I will :)
Lmao it's been 3 yrs
How's it going?
@@prakriteeshrestha I second your curiosity.
We is in teh same boat
This was the most complicated simplification I've ever seen
Just draw a circle, a wedge, add the details, and you're done!
This method is also pretty good for non-realistic styles...!
Thank you ever so much for this wonderful tutorial
actually thanks .. i didnt expect to work form me to draw a face from a random angle...it never worked for me until now waching this RANDOM video.
Proko : *explaining how to do a head*
Me : *trying to understand but doesn't understand*
that moment when you realise that u need to watch a drawing circle tutorial before watching this😂
I been searching for months for a video that breaks down character like this. I almost gave up. Thanks you bro. I'll be learning a lot from your tutorials🙏🏽💯
you just had to search 'how to draw face from any angle', was it that difficult?
It’s been months since I first watched this, and I am so much better at drawing heads now, not that I’m great, but progress 👍
how is it now?
I have a boring class in 2 hours. I am gonna practice this as much as i can.
i love draw
Good job I like to draw like everybody else here
Gracias Proko, burn tutorial. No entiendo mucho el idioma, pero si el lenguaje del lapiz a traves de tus trazos...Saludos y quedo suscrita a tu canal.
Inspir Arte voy a intentar ponerle subtítulos.
Hello there! It's been about 6 years since I had discovered this channel with my old RUclips account 💛😊 I was amazed by then by the content. I learned how to draw a nose here. Thanks @ProkoTv 🌸😊
This is how legend born❤
I learning by you for making my Artwork. And you is part of my journey
Very helpful!!
Me: Draws this and adds eyes, nose and stuff.
The anatomy and perceptive: adios
Big fan of Proko's videos! Have been studying the Loomis method for some time now, and I feel there are a couple of slips in proko's otherwise awesome explanation (correct me if I am the one in error) : a) The circle in perspective inside the sphere is not merely an oval, it is specifically an ellipse b) At 2:10, Proko mentions that when tilting the head upwards/downwards, the "angle" changes accordingly. While the line does rotate, the orientation of the ellipse's minor axis should remain the same (and not rotate as seen on the video) - the minor axis should point to the left vanishing point and since the camera or the plane of the ellipse doesn't shift change in any way, the vanishing point (and the orientation of the ellipse) should stay unaltered! c) ...and a question: At 3:23 Proko clarifies that the face centerline should be at the center of the frontplane, not the head-width. aren't these two the same? Could someone explain why?
Ive spent 2 weeks as a new artists trying to figure out how to begin and where to start. Since I work in IT I have a very technial mind and not a lot of artistic skills. This video was very technical, and I was able to replicate this very well. I now know I want to draw humans in good proportions. Thanks!
My broken anime style: waht

My head never turn into a head so all I learn from this video is that this Stan Proko guy is damn cute!
1 year into my drawing journey and revisiting some of the core videos that helped me shape my current style. Hopfully this year I make an equal amount of progress. Keep killin it all you lol artist people!

@@sorusoru4128 How can we support your channel If you do not have a content?
I wonder why I wasn’t taught anything like this in middle school or high school art class
Most of these stuff are pretty advanced and complicated for most people so some art schools might offer diffrent easier methods to learn and understand like the favorite sided traingle or the lemon shape for anatomy that might be easier for some people
I have to say, your tutorial is the best one till now, I had a hard time to assimilate the technicalities from other videos, I simply wasn't able to absorb the information, to learn it. With your step-by-step explanation I finally got it. Thank you🙏
I regretted that I skipped this in my entire 4 art years. Now I am studying it.
Step 1: Draw Circles
Step 2: Draw Lines
Step 3: Draw the Rest XD
Step 5 : Profit. :)
Damn the needle of his pencil!
