Trouble Drawing Women's Faces? Try this Andrew Loomis "Ball" Tutorial

- Hey, artists! Have you ever had trouble drawing faces, especially women? I'm here to help, but I'm crediting the great Andrew Loomis for his "ball method" of drawing the head. This is a basic setup of drawing the head, and we'll cover shading in the next video, as I recorded too much for one video. I figured it's easier to break it down and learn in segments rather than all in one sitting. This instructional video is for beginners of portrait drawing and also intermediate artists, but can be used by anyone since his method was for everyone. I also want to say that my word is not gospel. I'm not perfect, but I'll teach what I know. There really are no rules to art, just guidelines. Use your artistic intuition.

“I’m very critical of myself”- every artist ever!!! 💯🎈💕
Right?! We just want to do our best!
Salvador Dali? Read "Diary of a Genius"
I actually really appreciate the fact you did things you didn’t ordinarily do just to support beginners (redrawing the line 14:37)… I really enjoyed this video, Thank you
Thank you Miss Jane!!
You’re welcome ☺️
Hey great video! Using this cover - 19 lockdown to learn how to sketch. Look forward to more!
Thank you for the video!
i finally found time to watch this video!!!
you did very well teaching the basics
God bless
This was great, thank you
Hello, I am a novice here trying to learn how to draw female superheroes. I actually learned a lot from this tutorial and I will definitely look up Andrew Loomis’ book! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks so much, I bought Loomis's book Drawing The Head And Hands and it's helped tremendously!
As Jane said Andrew Lomis was a phenomenol individual and teacher.
He died in the late 1950's but his books are still in print.
The Head and Hands book runs about $58.00 in Canada if you purchase it through a book agent or Amazon.
BUT .....................
Rather than line the pockets of the already uber rich just be aware that the Andrew Loomis Books are ALL in the public domain and available to download LEGALLY as free pdf files.
Just search Andrew Loomis pdf downloads.
I am surprised Jane did not mention this.
Stay Safe and stay home!!!
Thank you so much for mentioning the PDF’s! I completely forgot. I guess I get wrapped up in the looking at the physical books. I believe my favorite one of his is “Creative illustration” since you can see the wide variety of styles he was able to draw and paint. I love that he did show cards and cartoons as well. So versatile in his talent!
Damn! I went looking for this yesterday but CZcams wouldn’t bring it up! So excited for a new video!
This was super helpful! Thanks, Jane!💗
You’re very welcome!
Great video. I'm looking forward to shading.
Thank you! ♥️
I'm learning so much, thank you so much. 😍
You’re welcome! So happy you like it!
i followed this jane but in a lazy 'My' way and quite happy with the outcome! i'm not so critical of myself .. just wanna have fun. Thank you I learned soo much. Bless !
OMG.... I loved this video Jane and I gotta get me that book I actually have an AMAZON birthday gift card right now. I always wanted to learn the Loomis method of drawing so I really appreciate you doing videos like this. This is actually something I wanted to work on this year. AMEN ..... I’m way too critical of myself, but aren’t we all as Artists? It’s what makes us special. Your videos are always so funny with the bloopers....great video. I had a pain management doctors appointment yesterday (it’s 2.5 hours away) so by the time we got home yesterday I was in no condition to do anything. We ate and I crashed hard plus we got a lovely wintery mix yesterday so on top of everything my nerves that aren’t effected by my CRPS were SHOT BY THE CAR RIDE ! 🤦🏻♀️ Take Care of yourself.
I feel your pain. Thank you for persevering.
Best intro ever!!! This video was super helpful, thankyou very much!!
Haha you’re welcome! Happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing..love your teaching method..you have given me the confidence to draw female faces....keep up the great tutorials!
Well thank you so much! I’m so happy you were able to feel the confidence that was in you all along to draw female faces 😄
Hi Jane,
I had a light bulb suddenly go off for me, yeah!
I realized, I have literally spent my entire life observing faces and the human body!!
Thanks for this content, I enjoyed it very much.
I’m so happy to hear that! 🤗
All my faces look tribal and manly. That’s why I’m here. Thanks!
I struggle with getting the outline of the face right like the checks and everything
Spoken as a new guy. Regarding Loomis head drawings toward the end 23:51 : It seems with drawing men, the circle falls on the "nose line" (just under the nose), with the mouth below the circle line. (?) This also works because Loomis's horizontal brow line for men is at 1/2. But, as you mentioned for drawing women, the mouth falls on the circle line, and the brow line is at 2/3. Overall your video has been helpful. My biggest challenge was the jaw, which kept turning out masculine. But now I see what I need to adjust. Thank you! :)
Just me staring at her hoodie the entire time. Mm-hm yeah
Haha! I was wondering if anyone would mention it!
How come no one noticed the strangers things hoodie on her
😄 Thank you for noticing! Maybe they didn’t know because the shot only shown part of the hoodie.
This is awesome. Big... BIG difference when a woman draws a female head, than when a man does. Thank you for the demo.
When i first lookeds at your guide, I thought , damn , what a long guide, and I actually wanted to skip it , but I gave a try and using your guide I managed to complete last sketch for my 2D movie , brilliant guide Jane
Fantastic! I loved the drawing you did! I’m hoping to give a more comprehensive guide in the future for the loomis method too.
There are a plethora of videos on drawing the face straight on. Why can't you do a tutorial on drawing the face at a difficult angle like up 3/4 view?
That’s a great idea and I can definitely do that. I love a good 3/4 view portrait. Thank you for the feedback.
@@ArtistJane You're welcome
