How to Draw a Face from any Angle | Part 1 - Front & Side View

- Loomis method explained in FULL DETAIL! Learn how to draw the front and side view of the human head and face, step by step using the Loomis method, plus I added some of my own techniques here and there!
The Andrew Loomis head drawing method is AMAZING, but it took me an extremely long time to fully grasp in order to craft this tutorial. There were some details missing from his book that I couldn't wrap my head around until I started practicing the method every day for about a month. I'm a slow learner and not as bright as the average Joe, but I finally started to piece it all together. This tutorial is meant to fill in all those blanks that I struggled with when I was learning the Loomis method so that I can help other artists learn it more easily and grasp the concepts quickly.
I hope this tutorial was able to clear up any questions or difficulties you have regarding the Loomis method.
Please excuse my raspy voice. I'm still getting over a cold :)

Both of my parents were artists and owned art stores while I was growing up and taught oils acrylics etc and they had various instructors over the years. You are one of the best art teachers I have seen in decades. I just want to say thank you for putting these online and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
Loved it, helped a lot!!
couldn't have said it better 👍

Think
PLEASE UPLOAD MORE TUTORIALS you are the only one that actually made me draw better
Yes u r correct
These were all things I knew and practiced as a kid. I was so da,m good at drawing in my youth, there wasn't anything I couldn't d4aw. I've started painting again and this has helped draw out my talent again. Thank you, your lessons are precise, not full of any gimmicks and filler. Just good awesome lessons
You are one of the best instructors on CZcams across the board. I watch a lot of options trading tutorials and cooking videos too. They all waste so much time on non-essential things. I appreciate the way you stick to the core subject and are super detailed with your explanations. I'm super surprised at how well my first sketches are turning out! Thank you Darlene!!!🙂

RapidFireArt amazing teacher! Could you do a video on creating a self portrait?
Great teaching lesson
you the best
You are literally teaching me to draw at 42... your instructions are so simple for beginners. Thank you 🙏
At 65!
After going through so many tutorials, this is the first one which teaches how to cut the side planes 😊
Thanks dear!!👍
The best teaching method ever seen sofar....A great way to teach, slow n precise... my sincere prayers n love to you. Keep it up
I always enjoy watching your tutorial videos. There's always a lot to learn, and you really are a great teacher.
Loved every aspect of your tutorials. So helpful. Thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your clear explanations. You are the only artist I was able to find who explains everything step by step with a close focus on the drawing. Your videos help me a lot improving my art skills. Thanks a BILLION !!!!
I have seen many tutorials but you are really the best. It is incredible how you explain all details in a very simple and effective way. Thank you so much!
oh my gosh!!! you're such a great teacher, I've literally seen all tutorials on this technique on youtube but you're the only one that taught the technique in an easy simple way!!!!😁😁😁😁
This is the best explanation I've seen on the Loomis method to date. I have viewed a number or well known artists from CZcams with their explanations and this has been the best. Seems to work for my brain.
I've seen and practiced with a lot of videos this topic, but yours is truly THE BEST among all of them. I really haven't had the will to practice drawing because of the lack of information that I had and that I was seeing in the videos. I really appreciate a long video that explains everything truly and with no timelapse. You are truly the best, thank you for cheering me up and making me feel that with practice, I truly can one day be a good drawer.
Very simple and easy way to begin. Now that I have retired, can spend time on this activity. Thanks .
I feel so lucky that I found your videos! For years, I've been wanting to learn how to draw faces and portraits and watching your videos has made it seem easy and simple, and yet so fascinating! I found it really helpful that you explain how things work in general and how the face and features are structured! Keep up the great work! Great tutorials!!
Yes, I totally agree. You made it so clear. I never understood how people could draw faces so well. Now it's a matter of practising. Thank you so much for all your tutorials. They are so informative.
This is probably the best Tutorial i‘ve seen!
Yeh
I agree
Yup
I agree
I agree. The square and circle method for beginners is excellent.
This is probably one of the best tutorials for basic head drawing, thank you!!
This was amazingly simple, straight forward and to the point and more importantly, very very helpful. Thank you for your time, efforts and for sharing your knowledge. You have a knack for conveying clear, simple, easy to understand instruction on what can sometimes sound overwhelming. No nonsense or fluff. And when you did add anything extra it was merely a helpful little trick/consideration to make things even easier.
There's quite a few good video tutorials out there on the topic of Loomis method. But after watching your videos it seems like they barely skimmed through the surface. I mean I'm sure a lot of it will eventually become second nature and come naturally without having to draw all the guides... But if one is presenting a topic, it should be done thoroughly. I like how much details you've shown in your tutorials. Good job :) earned a subscriber
Hello
Gjooo fadhili hi
Excellent approach to teaching. After several tutorials I've watched, your guidance helped me to produce results I'm most happy with. Thank you so much
My goodness you are great at teaching. For someone who is just learning to draw you really give good instructions to help me get a general feel of what something should look like to then be able to be more creative. I can follow along and begin to understand the general "guidelines" and then practice it over and over and tweak things to get different faces and features and say hey doing this makes it look like this. Huge help to begin learning. Thanks so much!!
Absolutely love this tutorial. The pace of this video is perfect. Not too fast, not too slow....
Congratulations on having 1.000.000 subscribers Darlene!!! Please keep making such nice tutorial videos like this in the future =)
This video really helped me out with drawing faces. Thank you, you have earned yourself another subscriber.
This is the best video I've seen for drawing a head using the Loomis method. You put in enough detail to get it done, but not so much that it bogs down. Straight and to the point. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos!
I have been watching videos on the Loomis Method for a few days now and yours is by far the one that makes the most sense to me. Wonderful job with this video. I will be following your channel now. Thank-you so much for explaining it so clearly :)

Hi Darlene 🙂
I see that you posted this 4 yrs ago. I’ve just found you & I’m so very grateful! I sincerely hope you’re still making videos. You’re a brilliant instructor & just a charming personality. I’ve read several of the comments and two words seem to be the main focus- “the best”!
I completely agree!
I also agreed with & love that you don’t waste time with non-essential blah blah, you stay on task start to finish. You are so appreciated!
Thank you!!

I watched so many of these but this is definitely the best one. No long explanations, just getting right to it

I made a face and for some unexplainable reason, It actually resembled a face
@Fathimath Yoolee Hussain bruh

Fantastic guided tour. Your instruction instills confidence in oneself. Bravo!
Simple clear commentary and construction lines with tips. Superb!
I love this tutorial! If you have time, could you please make another hyper realistic tutorial? I loved the eye one! (With very detailed instructions 😊❤

This is the absolute best tutorial ever for drawing loom is method but broken down in geometric shapes makes a huge difference, I am so very thankful for this fantastic tutorial and knowledge you are sharing 🥰😊
I have never seen so much talent and effort in one video. Wow. Bravo. 👏
This tutorial is waaaaaaaaaay easier to follow.. I'm a total newbie but I was able to follow your instructions.. THANKS!!!!!!!
EDIT: By the way.. why it's soooooooooooo hard to draw a circle.. hahahaha.
same here...
YOU SAVED MY ART HOMEWORK.
Dang... 42 yrs old... about to start life over again... and have this immense talent that has just awaken again. Thank you.
Excellent! One of the best tutorials on Loomis method.
U really helped me alot and I appreciate your skills
I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL SO MUCH!!
Every step is detailed and not like the other tutorials where they just DO without saying much. On top of it tall, most of them are time-lapse tutorial so its not that helpful for a tutorial. Thank you so much!!
I love it
HOLY SHIT THIS TUTORIAL ACTUALLY WORKED! I could never draw front view but this time it came out decent and proportional. This loomis method i need in my life. It made most of face feature so simple place in correctly . Bless your soul
This worked!!! I subscribed after I saw your first video on faces a day ago. Today was my 2nd lesson, side view, thank you!!
RapidFire Art: draws a perfect circle
me: tries 1,000,000 times and still cant get it right
sister:is that a square?
me: -_-
I've been stuck here for 3 hours and i still don't even know how to draw a circle
Me too.
I want to like it so badly but it’s 69
Actually I can draw face and I will draw for others but but I used grid method and I'm tired of drawing the grids and it not feels real for me so I wanted to know about lumis method so now I'm here and the video was very good and from now I'm going use lumis method thank you very much ❤️
Once u learn loomis method you will not go back..... Use the extended pencil grip as well.... Both this techniques helped me immensely
Looks like I’m the only non- artist
Yes, she did a fantastic job explaining this so plainly. Prolly one of the best explanation I’ve had quite frankly. Cleared up a lot of mystery. I feel like she armed with a special secret weapon for successful portraits now. Lol. I could draw them pretty good for just winging it but it’s really nice to to know how to do it quickly and accurately the FIRST time instead of wasting hours of time drawing and erasing over and over again until it looks right. My only artistic ability is the patience to keep erasing my efforts and trying it again over and over until it looks accurate. That’s it! Lol! That’s my secret. Lol! That’s how I knew I could NEVER do this for a living. I’d bankrupt the company at the rate I produce stuff. I couldn’t be that cruel to any business. Or arrogant. Lol. I did a back portrait that my daughter said was really good. I said it SHOULD, collectively speaking it only took me about a month to do it! If I worked in animation I’d be fired within a week at my rate. Lol
@@neelimakaluturi-22 Nah, I’m here. See above comment. You’ll understand. Lol.
Kuchh improve hua kya..?
This is probably the best teacher I have ever seen ❤!I was really dissapointed with my portraits....but after watching this, I'm sure that I'll do better!

You have an awesome gift for teaching arts! Congratulations!💓
Thank you so much for this concise and informative tutorial. I have been reading the Loomis text and was very frustrated with where exactly to put guidelines...no more, you cleared it up!

Oh my my... even a blind can draw with you!!! And your video is a piece of art itself!! How everything is aligned and fits and is explained 😱😱😱🤯 wish you tons of luck! Keep doing it!
Wow. I watched multiple videos on this and they helped a lot, but the heads I drew never came out quite as good as they should have. Now watching yours I see they left out some super vital parts: where to chop the sides off on the head, where to find the eye lines, how to draw the actual facial features, how to do the profile face shape so it’s not too round, how to do basic lips etc. it’s things as someone who’s done thousands are next to trivial, but other who are just starting are must know facts. Thank you!
