      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 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.

    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.

    • @juanmccoy3066
      @juanmccoy3066 Před 24 dny

      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'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!

Later on when I make the video I would like to put a mention in the description. My approach will basically be today we are going to draw a loomis head for this portrait. If you would like to understand the method please review the Drawing Explained in this playlist. What do you think?
