There are a lot of different ways to approach head construction, but one of my favorites is the Loomis Method. In this video, we break down Andrew Loomis' head construction technique!

I can’t believe my drawing professor didn’t show the Loomis method when I was in school. This definitely takes the mysterious difficulty out of drawing heads. I’m going to practice, practice, practice and then attempt drawing my grandchildren. Thank you for this video.
Every art class in primary school should start with this to get the kids psyched about drawing faces. I feel like starting with still life is such a big turn off for so many young artists. It definitely was for me.
Oh please excuse your art teacher , he doesn't know it 😂
how'd it go?
As a left handed person, I greatly appreciate this perspective.
22:36 Getting comfortable drawing box in any perspective is so important before drawing loomis head, especially the centerlines of the box. Understanding space greatly helped me in getting the placement and angles of the facial features right. I was surprised how good I can get a head to look now with a bit of focus. Great video!
Thank you for this comment! I spent a week learning the loomis method, and this was the missing piece.
I've been recommending your videos to a lot of people in regards to learning how to draw and this one is definitely getting added to the list of resources I've been giving out!
Awesome, thank you!
@@DavidFinchartist u good
Yeah brother ive been drawing since I was 5 ..I'm 42 on thev30th of this month and I'm still shocked on how much new info I retain from your videos and iI DEFINITELY recommend your vids too anybody who has not seen urvstuff,which isn't too many..thnx to you and Meredith....
I've seen a LOT of Loomis videos and this one is - by far - the best. Thank you so much for sharing.
Just want to give you praise David, I love that you are sharing your methods - it helps knowing we're learning from a true pro.
I like the loomis technique. You did a great job of presenting it in a way, that makes it easy to follow. Sometimes i forget to do the lil' intricate stuff. Thanx!
Thank you Mighty!
Hey David thanks for another insightful video. As always I really appreciate the time you take to help out the rest of the art community. Cheers boss.
Mr Finch, if by the off chance you read or are notified on comments to month old posts; I want to say how immensely helpful and informative your videos are, especially for amateur artists like myself. Every time I watch I learn something new about your technique, and the process of drawing comic art in general. Some say it’s a dying art form, but artists like you prove that it’s still alive and energetically thriving. Your work is amazing, and your work with Tom King on Batman was EXTRAORDINARY. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤

Your videos are so amazing David, they always help me!
There is something delightfully humble about you, sir. Great artistry and humility seam less snd less common.
This was great, thank you!! Really appreciate your breakdown of the Loomis method. These tutorials are helpful and inspiring, thank you for taking the time to do them! 😃
This video along with Marc Brunet version of the Loomis method really brings everything together. So glad I found this artist
I have been having so much issues with the eyes. Drawing the sockets and that little line you mentioned to get the angle helped me out tremendously! Thank you David!
I don’t comment on art videos very often, but on this one I have to. Your introduction to the Loomis Method has quite literally changed how do human heads overnight. Thanks a ton man!
ive been trying to figure out how to draw heads for a while now, and i must say this was incredibly helpful. thank you so much!
The most informative and elaborate video on Loomis method head drawing I have found on YT!!! Thank you!!!
I have used Loomis' book for drawing reference for years. But seeing his method demonstrated and explained so clearly by David Finch helps clarify things so much. And your results closely match Loomis' own examples.
Im so glad I found your video using The Loomis Method on how to draw heads. Thank you for sharing your talent!
I have never thought of using this loomis method. But I want to give it a try. Awesome demos.
This is by far the best head and face drawing tutorial ever, really helped me out alot
The loomis head construction method is so easy to understand!!! Thanks Dave for such a great intructional video!!!
been looking for a loomis head tut and this one has definitely been the most helpful. thanks!
You are such a great instructor David! This is the best Loomis head instruction I've ever seen. You explain it much better than Andrew Loomis in his book. Now I'm practicing these heads over and over until I get all of the planes down.
Best video on this. I have read Loomis’s books and watched countless videos still with a lack of comprehension. You have made me want to rush to my sketchbook. Thank you for such a valuable resource
Best video I found on the topic. Thank you so much. And it is a pleasure to listen how you develop the process.
This is the best video I've ever seen so far about drawing heads using the Loomis method. I appreciate your detailed explanation. 🙏🥰
Great! Video I recently just came back to the loomis method to study this is a big help so thanks Dave!
I remember buying the pencilling techniques of Finch on DVD from the Gnomon workshops, and I'm s happy to see you back in the business as I need to understand the loomis method, its a pleasure to see you again!
Mr finch I've recently stumbled on your videos lately. Been a fan of your work for a long time thank you for your work !
An amazing artist David. Great techniques to use for proportion! For someone getting back into drawing after 20 years, This has been a nice refresher! Thank you.
halo G-Notes85... lets connected, I Love drawing,,
those sketches really gives me a sense of how to draw charakter without misstakes, thank you so much
You make it look so easy. Great video/explanation, thank you 😊
I bought the Loomis book. I read the book and followed along with it. I was missing something. Listening to you and following along with you I understand it so much better so for that Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Thank you the hair line advice is the best ,it changed my drawing drastically , I was always focused on the other parts of the face confidant that the hairline is so easy to place that’s why heads looks weird
As an autoditact, I used a method quite similar that i "crafted" with my knowledge, and this video really completed the lack of my technique. Thanks, your explanations were really clear.
You're such a great artist, thank you for all those videos.
I'm still struggling with heads and faces. But this gave some great tips. Thanks a lot David.
Happy to help!
Exactly it's a little complicated but interesting to watch lol, I hope to come back and understand it a bit more
Thanks david! You’re a great instructor as well as artist!
This was amazing. I finally have the feeling now that i have a chance of making it. Thank you David.
THANK YOU. This is the exact level of detail i desperately needed
Thank you. This is so much more helpful than a 5 minute video glossing over the topic that ends with a pitch for their REAL drawing course. Really good.
you said it
I was hoping to learn this method and you made my dream come true. Thank you❤❤❤
As a young artist trying to find my art style and trying to draw more realistically, I want to say you are REALLY amazing. I notice also by using realistic references it helps for me. Thanks for the video man.
You should do Anime style, it worked rly well for me
@@Figure_591 doing anime before realism isn't good for long-term progress. it teaches you to draw in symbols rather than a proper understanding of form and why lines are placed the way that they are.
@@zent8324 I guess ur right, but for me, Whenever i used realism I ended with a deflated no proportionate drawings with faces that look like literal blobs, Anime drawing helped me to actually draw humans instead of dehydrating deflating throwup man
thanks so much for the great explanation. I always struggle with angles faces and I hope this will help me get better.
I will share this with my friend and even I will use it .Thank you very much David.
Great tutorial! Thank you, David!
can't wait to have some rendering the head tutorial ❤️
He already covered that in a video. Go through the channel vids.

But still able to explain each stage in a basic manner. Honestly thanks man!
Thank You for making visible the Loomis build up method. So very much appreciate it. Better late than never.
I’ve recently gotten my hands on a copy of his book “figure drawing for all its worth”
It’s really taken my art to the next level! The anatomy looks a lot more accurate. Love his books.
He's the foundation for so many of us!
whats the exact name of the book?
That’s the exact title in the comment, it definitely helped me improve
Thx for the videos Dave! Looking forward to the MND
THANK YOU! I’ve needed this
Awesome teacher👍🏻 So much knowledge 🤗
David what an excellent presentation. I have the Loomis book and that I had nailed the concept , although was slightly confused. This video with its great explanation has allayed any confusion I had . So many thanks for clarifying for me.
Thank you 🙏for all your efforts. And you teach very well.
I’m rn studying this video and i can see i have a much more of a different style then the art showing what make’s this interesting good job 👍
This video for the win! Thanks man! Really enjoyed this
Amazing tutorial thank you so much!
This is perfect timing. I'm just starting on Loomis heads and this is so helpful. Thank you for the kind advice of not beating yourself up! I feel like I'm not progressing fast enough!!
godzillagoesgaga,, lets connected,, I love drawing,,,
David Finch, thanks for being so generous and sharing your experiences. This video is really clear and well done. Even though I have some experience and draw people, I enjoyed picking up a few tips! 💕
The best advise I have ever recieved10/10👍
Magnificent, you explain in a way that is understandable. You are quite an artist.
halo Andres Villanueva,, lets connected, I Love drawing,,,
So happy that i can watch a loomis method video on youtube by Finch :D
I been tryin the loomis method for a minute and I think that the style of it is just kinda hard. For some reason when you did the eye tutorial you had the hairline start in the middle of the sphere instead of the eyebrow line and it helped me out a lot more. Either way I love your art and tutorials Mr. Finch. I’m here for everything you giving us
Great ,thanks to always teach us👍
This is great teaching. thank you.
This is very well done, thank you.
I cant stop doing this technique its so fun
Never thought I could see someone just draw a simple circle on a piece of paper and make it look so good
Yessss thanks, the video I always searched but never found!!!!!!
as an early 90s kid i used to see this imagery a lot, Never knew it was called the Loomis method. ty!
This is amazing!!
Many thanks!!
Magnifico... no dejo de verlo para aprender.
This is the first time I've slowed down the video instead of speeding up. There's so much information to gather here
Props to David for drawing with his left hand so we can see the drawing better hes truly a master at his work
A really helpful video. Thanks a lot👍🏻
I'm so glad Howie Mandel took the time away from his busy schedule to teach us how to draw heads. Jokes aside thank you so much for the tutorial. This method has made me significantly better at drawing heads, and sparked a flow of motivation.
