Cookie Monster says:

Great video, I love it! I wonder is there a difference with a female head
and face.?¿ 

Ingenium says:

That facial expression at 3:40 was the *exact* face I made when he said all
of that. Lol.
Anyways, I love tutorials with a bit of humor =D

Apillbox says:

While watching this did any one else ponder the perfect engineering of our
human body??

Carol Horzempa says:

These tutorial are the best I’ve seen on drawing the human head! You have
made what seemed so difficult really simple. Of course practice does help,
which I intend to do. I only wish you could add subtitles for the hearing
impaired….that would be great for us hard of hearing folks!

glamdring wielder says:

Awesome! just by watching this vid my drawing skills have impoved a lot! no

Rowan Manders says:

This is great. Liked and sub’d.

a adamski says:

Great video.. angled facial position is something i’m struggling and using
this template i’m feel it will really help with sketching in the
dimensions.

Emily Huff says:

Oh my god, thank you so much. I’ve been pulling out my hair all day
following the Loomis method step for step and I kept getting frustrated
because there are so many lines and points and I keep positioning the 3
lines that divide the ball into 8 hemispheres a little off and the sphere
ends up too big and I have to keep erasing and argh! This makes it so much
easier. First try and this head construction looks way more accurate and
clean than anything else I’ve done today. I’ll just have to practice
positioning the oval correctly from different angles, which you also have a
video about. After that it’s pretty easy. Whew.

luminor007 says:

Subbed! Great info.

Angelina Gail says:

I started drawing with anime as my base so my eyes always went a little
comically shoujo manga big. How do I get rid of this habit for more
realistic drawing? Anyone help?

tousif rehman says:

very easy and nice method.

Alyssa Mc. says:

the tutorial and technique was really good but your endless drums not so
much… sorry…

James Paul says:

Fun and interesting way to learn drawing heads .thanks stan

Julian Phisanthropist says:

Really (!) cool videos but they are WAY to fast. You always have to pause
for different steps and even these pauses have to be timed well.

ali vaghef says:

Man, This was a Great video, I found it very helpful. Many thanks to you, I
love America Iran

ontoverse says:

that’s a great, 5 min explanation of Loomis method with some good
simplifications. Getting the oval right after placing the “cross” is tricky
for me as a beginner, but the other way around helps me see both planes and
not just the face.

bannana886 says:

Absurdly helpful, thank you.

meltem karakoyun says:

Milyusia Arts says:
