    I find the easier way to draw the head is to draw it as a box. It's basically the George Bridgeman method, but there's a really good gumroad course on it by reubenlara that's his website as well if you Google it. It should be on the front page of his website. I learned a lot and it's only 10 bucks. He also has a CZcams channel on here

    A blending stump is not the same as a tortillon. A tortillon is made of rolled paper, and also comes in different sizes. A tissue wrapoed around a finger works very well for blending, also, especially for large areas.

    After being terrified of drawing people for decades, my desire to paint my son (14) overcame the fear. I started learning using the Loomis method three days ago. I found most CZcams lessons a little frustrating, so I've just invested in the book. I'm very excited to begin this journey!

    Hey, Just using the Loomis method while learning to draw a portrait makes the head plane instead of a 3D object. If you combine the Loomis method and The planes of the head, you will get a faster and better understanding of the head. In the beginning, learning with male reference makes it easy to see the planes of the face, and choosing to concentrate on a single angle and the face elements is a better way to improve quickly. 😁

    • @theartistnamed
      @theartistnamed Před měsícem

      Thank you for the insight. I will definitely try that out!

    • @colincannings7946
      @colincannings7946 Před 3 dny

      Without the gesture and correct proportion, the planes don't work very well. Can I ask, when you say plane, are you referring to value, tone and shading?

    • @theartistnamed
      @theartistnamed Před 3 dny

      @@colincannings7946 I believe what ingridousa was saying is that the idea is that Loomis Method is a good start for getting placements and sections of the head but when adding the face elements consider the "planes" or surface angles to correctly build them up. The book "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention " I mentioned in the description of this video teaches this idea. Building the planes for facial features in a 3d space will also help you understand how to shade the facial features correctly.

From age 3 to my mid twenties I used to draw ALL OF THE TIME - and I now know that was due to my ADHD hyperfocus that wasn't diagnosed until recently 😄 I had forgotten how art can help us to process big emotions but your video reminded me of that. It reminded me of my own processing and that it is time to include art as a personal journal of my life again in order to process my ADHD / Hunter Type brain self-discovery among other things 😉 It is always difficult to lose a child no matter at what stage of the pregnancy or age of their life. Thank you for sharing your personal story to help others learn how to process their own grief and trauma through art ❤
