How to Easily Draw the Head | A Guide for Beginners

Hey guys!

Well, here we are again, another hard-fought week and another video out to you all. This one is all about the Loomis Method, I'm sure you have at least heard about this drawing approach. In this video, I am taking you through and drawing (6) different angeled heads. On paper, the Loomis method sounds complex but after you've drawn a handful you will start to appreciate its simplicity. Here are some links to helpful tools if you want to give this approach a try. Stay happy, stay healthy, and remember #neverstopdrawing

Do you ever change/alter the proportions depending on the subject? This is a very good starting guide, and I’m curious if it would apply to any face?

What is the ratio of smaller circle to bigger circle ? From front view, it looks bigger but at side view ite like 1/3

Why is the compass originally set at 2 or even 1 ?

[williammclean]

But like what if you need to draw fast like say you want to become an animator they can draw like thousands of heads without doing any guidelines will you eventually remember where everything goes without having to draw construction lines?
