Do you ever feel like your portraits just aren't right, but you can't figure out why? 🤔
A proportional drawing is an essential step for your final painting to look good. In this tutorial, I'll teach you how to learn to sketch portraits like a pro.
I use a blend of a couple of famous anatomy drawing techniques like the Andrew Loomis head technique, Reilly method, Asaro head model, to develop my own method that helps with sketching in proportion.
I start sketching with geometric shapes, then get into drawing the features of the face by observing and measuring the angles and distance between each feature. After establishing a good base I draw a loose sketch on top of it.
And there you have it, a good base sketch that you can build your masterpiece on!

Which of the techniques I mentioned do you like the most? 🙂
I never try "Loomis method" I'd like to try it someday, but the last method "observant measurement" is my favorite, I learned that from you and it was really useful to me David, I love your tutorials, thank you so much! 💖😎👍😘😊💪
@@lauraypabloArtThanks Laura 🙌
Cool video. Thanks for showing us, that methods can be mixed. very good explained. I like also observational meassurement, it helps me to get the proportions correct.
Drawing circle like in loomis is very hard. Angles are easier for me :-)
@@georgerabbitearl Glad you liked it! If you're finding it hard to draw circles try to practice it while zoomed out and draw from your shoulder rather than your wrist.
Or you can always try the Spongebob method, draw a head, erase the details and you have a perfect circle 😀
@@Paintable Thanks for the tip. How did you measure the ellipse of the side plane of the loomis head in mimute 3:42? How did you now the width of the ellipse in comparision to the front face plane? In this video you did it verry loos and not exact, but let's assume you want it nearly exact?
There (sorta) is a book on the Reilly method, "Mastering Drawing the Human Figure: From Life, Memory and Imagination", by Jack Faragasso. I am not sure whether he was one of Reilly's students, but its the only book I've seen to go through the process in detail. And its a lot of detail. For me the complexity was getting in the way of the drawing. But its useful to see how involved it can get and then cherry-pick the parts you find useful. Covers the whole body, not just the head. I will say the Reilly approach helped me enormously with heads.
Thank you for the recommendation. 🙂 Just looked it up, Jack Faragasso studied and worked alongside Reilly for years, so you can't go wrong with reading his book. 😃
Thank you for the video. I know the Loomis method from Loomis' book. I find the instructions in the book very complicated, even if it is very logical after thinking about it several times. I find the method presented in your video with the combination of several methods more intuitive and free.
Thanks, George! Glad you found it useful.
I'm so used to using observation measurement and asaro plane method, but I'm really looking forward trying the loomis and reilly method combined with the others, maybe then my portraits process could move a bit smoother. Thank you David 😊
you dont know how this videos help me a lot in my progress. Thank you so much
Yay! 😎
I'd love a tutorial on the loomis method, I have the book drawing the head and hands and it basically makes no sense to me.
Thank you, it’s really useful tips
🙌
Omg,tysm for this tutorial!This was super helpful,ty
thank you so much!!
Thank you for your video that was very helpful. Very good video.
I really love this lesson, let´s practice¡
Problem with portrait is it's a face of a human. Just a few milimeter off with the proportions and angles and bam, you have a different face than the reference.
Can you perhaps make a more detailed tutotrial regarding this?
Hi there 🙂 We have a whole module dedicated to sketching techniques in the Digital Painting Academy: pntbl.cc/academy
what is your favourite brush for sketching ?
'Scratchy scratchy' from the free Paintable sketching brush set. 😁 pntbl.cc/d1656
How to read facial lines when doing female portraits coz mostly they are hidden under the makeup.
A way around that is to look for references photos that feature people without make up 🙂
The makeup Contour actually makes it easier, they basically define some parts for you
All methods 😂 specially 4th one
That's a favorite of Team Paintable's too 😀
