- Drawing well proportioned heads consistently is a challenge for any beginning artist, and some us old pros sometimes too! 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?
This is geniunely the best comment I've ever seen, I hope you have the most lovely life.
Did you digest good at the loomis method
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 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!
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
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 🙏🏻 ❤

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! 😃
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
This video along with Marc Brunet version of the Loomis method really brings everything together. So glad I found this artist
The most informative and elaborate video on Loomis method head drawing I have found on YT!!! Thank you!!!
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,,
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
This is the best video I've ever seen so far about drawing heads using the Loomis method. I appreciate your detailed explanation. 🙏🥰
The loomis head construction method is so easy to understand!!! Thanks Dave for such a great intructional video!!!
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.
I've seen a LOT of Loomis videos and this one is - by far - the best. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is by far the best head and face drawing tutorial ever, really helped me out alot
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
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.
Im so glad I found your video using The Loomis Method on how to draw heads. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Best video I found on the topic. Thank you so much. And it is a pleasure to listen how you develop the process.
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.
been looking for a loomis head tut and this one has definitely been the most helpful. thanks!
This is the best Loomis tutorial I've ever watched. Really learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much, Sir!
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 !
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!
I have never thought of using this loomis method. But I want to give it a try. Awesome demos.
This was amazing. I finally have the feeling now that i have a chance of making it. Thank you David.
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!
Great! Video I recently just came back to the loomis method to study this is a big help so thanks Dave!
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
Amazing video as always Dave. My favourite youtube channel!!
You're such a great artist, thank you for all those videos.
THANK YOU. This is the exact level of detail i desperately needed
those sketches really gives me a sense of how to draw charakter without misstakes, thank you so much
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
You make it look so easy. Great video/explanation, thank you 😊
Thanks my man you make this easier for guys like me Ive been doing this for years but never have I been instructed so well understandable again thanks
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.
Thanks david! You’re a great instructor as well as artist!
Great video Dave. I've been learning a ton from this. cant wait for MND to come back!
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! 💕
Very insightful video Mr Finch. Thank you
I was hoping to learn this method and you made my dream come true. Thank you❤❤❤
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,,,
thanks so much for the great explanation. I always struggle with angles faces and I hope this will help me get better.
Thank you david, i really aprecciate the work that you do with this videos.
Learn a lot from your amazing videos, thank you for your teaching 🙏
Great tutorial! Thank you, David!
I will share this with my friend and even I will use it .Thank you very much David.
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
Thank You for making visible the Loomis build up method. So very much appreciate it. Better late than never.
can't wait to have some rendering the head tutorial ❤️
He already covered that in a video. Go through the channel vids.
Can't wait to start practicing this. Thanks for the relaxing yet informative video!
Thanks!
Thanks David! As Always explained very very well!
Magnificent, you explain in a way that is understandable. You are quite an artist.
halo Andres Villanueva,, lets connected, I Love drawing,,,
Great video and nice touch with all the sequences where we see you talking!
Well done mate!
Cheers ✌🏻
But still able to explain each stage in a basic manner. Honestly thanks man!
Awesome teacher👍🏻 So much knowledge 🤗
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 👍
Thx for the videos Dave! Looking forward to the MND
Великолепная работа. Вы мастер своего дела. Браво !!!
Thank you 🙏for all your efforts. And you teach very well.
So happy that i can watch a loomis method video on youtube by Finch :D
THANK YOU! I’ve needed this
Amazing tutorial thank you so much!
This video for the win! Thanks man! Really enjoyed this
Yessss thanks, the video I always searched but never found!!!!!!
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
This is very well done, thank you.
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.
You are so welcome!
The best advise I have ever recieved10/10👍
A really helpful video. Thanks a lot👍🏻
This is great teaching. thank you.
Great ,thanks to always teach us👍
Props to David for drawing with his left hand so we can see the drawing better hes truly a master at his work
Magnifico... no dejo de verlo para aprender.
This is amazing!!
Many thanks!!
This is the first time I've slowed down the video instead of speeding up. There's so much information to gather here
as an early 90s kid i used to see this imagery a lot, Never knew it was called the Loomis method. ty!
Never thought I could see someone just draw a simple circle on a piece of paper and make it look so good
David, you went and explaind ALL the landmarks, thank you. Ive seen many videos tackling the Loomis method where they miss half of the landmarks. Ive had to understand those on my own by making assumptions, as I cant afford the Loomis book. Many of my assumptions were verified by you.
You can find PDF online.
Fantastic!! Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos
Thanks KillerTacos!
Dave - so much great information here. Some of the insights you provided around what lines are important as it relates to other areas/planes really helped to solidify my understanding.
The next video request would be how a superhero cowl impacts the head and should be approached. Things like the eye cut outs vs the mask brow line. What features/planes are important and what is anatomically needed vs design work. Thanks for any and all consideration!
halo timothy rodis,,, lets connected, I Love drawing,,
I've been waiting for this. Eagerly waiting for your rendering tutorial on face.

I've just found this method a couple of days ago and it blowed my mind. Thanks for your video, it's really educational I loved it! I'm struggled positioning the nose and neck. Can you give us some advice? Thank you very much!
Ah yes, I've been waiting this tutorial since I've met your channel. Thanks Dave
My pleasure!
