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.
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!!
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!
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❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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!
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.
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.
The Loomis method was developed in the 1930s (or thereabouts) and has withstood the test of time. The best and easiest way to remember how to draw heads! This video explained it very, very well!
“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.
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.
I have to re-train my brain to SEE how a head is drawn. Other tutorials I was getting so frustrated because I couldn't see what they were doing in my mind. My brain is wired so differently. I know if I can get the formula you show here down I can break through the block keeping me from grasping the way to do it. You helped me to 'see' a bit better. Thank you!
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
This was the best description of the loomis method I've ever seen. the only thing is i couldent find the vid he said he would make on how to do the faces. I done know if I'm just being really blind or like.. he never made it
I’ve been looking for so long for something where this is explained to me. I’ve watched videos on how to draw a head but none of them explained it in a way that would let me use the method for a different head than the one in their video.
👉 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
@@drawingexplainedcan i tag you in instagram
No bs, no shaming, just straightforward instructions. Five thumbs up
appreciate that! 😀

Lovely to hear! I’m uploading new videos soon
Same here im 38 trying to re-learn hey good luck on your journey ..
Let's stay in touch on our drawing journeys. I just subbed to you.@@RobertSmithjrjr
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.
Roger that - Sounds great. I appreciate the recommendations@@hyperguyver2
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!

That was my goal ;) to explain in a way people can understand. I’m Happy it helped you!
This video made me realize my head looks stupid from any angle.
Perseverance is the key to perfection!

Just scale it smaller or wider etc
Guys I think you ain’t gettin the joke

Thanks, as a beginner struggling with head, i went from 1 to 7 instantly. This anatomy was all i needed.
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.
Thank you you have the clearest easiest demonstrations to follow. And you're going at a good pace as well. Thank you.
No problem, happy to help ;)
Love the structure of the video . Looking forward to seeing how you fill in the more detailed features .
This is best head tute ive seen. Thanks.
thank you ;)
I've been looking all over for a video that explains in detail, and I've found it. Thank you 👍🏻
lovely!
I’ve never been so good at drawing faces
The cohesion of tips in this video is admirable!
@@RyanNioda 🙏 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.
This channel is a gem.
appreciate that! thank you
This video made me understand the loomis method with direct instructions. This was helpful thank you!
you are welcome!
This is the best video I’ve found . Your explanation is very clear and easy to follow while drawing . Thank you
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.
I struggle with the Loomis method but you’ve explained it and made it easy! Will have a practice with this later ☺️ thank you
you're welcome!
ive been strungling for so long but when i watched this i got it on my 3rd try thank you
love it!
Love this straight to the point keep up man
Thank you ;)
Wonderful tutorial. Well paced, right amount of detail. Exactly what I need. Thank you!
happy to hear :)
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
Very clear explanation for a beginner, thank you
Thank u so much. Finally I learned Loomis method!!
Omg I followed along . This was amazing!!! I have never got the proportions right . This was awesome thank you
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.

Top notch. I'll be looking more into loomis. It's really interesting.
Nice method. Now, I only have to learn to draw a circle.

EXCELLENT tutorial; this, along with drawing w/ grids has opened my eyes to what is possible. Thanx!
I LOVE VIDEOS THAT EXPLAINS BIT BY BIT!! I ACTUALLY DOO!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!! YOU JUST SAVED MY GRADES!!(I got a project in art class)

👍🏻 Very clearly and practically explained. So very Helpfull.
thank you! glad i could help :)
Looking forward to the video about finishing facial features for these heads
Great information!! The illustration were a great help. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
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.
So far this is the best tutorial how to draw a head.
Can you do one for the body, as well?
Thank you! Yes that video is in the works
Awesome channel for art. Thank you, Teacher. 🌿✨

Great video, you explained things well. I just attempted practicing this video. Am looking forwards to the next one. Thanks for the video.
i dont even like drawing this just popped up and i know how to draw a head now thanks 💯
The Loomis method was developed in the 1930s (or thereabouts) and has withstood the test of time.
The best and easiest way to remember how to draw heads!
This video explained it very, very well!
Amazing! .

You go fast but I can pause and rewind, they ended up looking great ! (Great-ish)

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

Thanks! Glad i could help 😀
Very good value! Subscribed!
thank you!
Very helpful 👌
This was amazing thank you!
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!
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.
