Its a paraphrase of the famous phrase "Do not allow the perfect to be the enemy of the good." When it comes to art I think the paraphrased version works better.

This video is so interesting. I’m going through Loomis’ book right now and find his method to be SO fun and simple. Every other method you’ve shown to me here looks 1000x more complicated than drawing a ball with two points and two curved lines. But hey to each their own!

i should mention though the book I'm going through is "Fun with a Pencil". It's outstanding. Looking at one you mention in the video right now and boy is it WAAAAY too complicated for beginners. No wonder you didn't connect with it.

Thank you so much for your sharing.... this IS añ amazing help in my process just NOW.

I’ve looked at many videos like this showing the different methods. What I find difficult to grasp is how random you take a slice from the sides of the ball and how the other lines seem to be just guesswork without any reference to the model. To me the head could be any head, male or female. So maybe I am missing an important part of the method. I am also no looking to copy a picture but apply this to live sitters.

Very helpful video, thank you for making it!

I won't say I'm an expert artist, more on the lines of a hobby artist.. I've always wanted to do portraits - it's a strange fascination for me.. but I'm terrified of it.. I don't wish to spoil someone's face 😂 so I joined your class on Udemy - that's ongoing.. and now here on KZread... Must say, these techniques and tips and tricks is what has brought me a little out of the cave of "I'm scared of portraits" will continue to learn!! Thank you so much!!

You should be a big youtuber, I started drawing daily with a mindset of becoming a decent artist a week ago and I've been reading the Loomis book. But when I got to the Loomis planes of the head nothing seemed to work and I always messed up the proportions, so I searched for some tutorials about the planes and here I am. You are great! With the Loomis book and your channel I'll be drawing people with ease in no time!

How am I going to do it with charcoal, these many lines and then erasing them is going to spoil the paper. Also would cause problems with coloring and it is not going to work with ink pen at all which I use for daily drawings.

@ChrisPetrocchi

Жыл бұрын

For charcoal you can begin the sketch with vine charcoal which is easily erased, changed, moved around and so on. OR, sketch in very lightly with a B HB graphite pencil-just don't dig into the paper very much or it will score the paper and/or cause a sheen. After the rough is laid in you can go to your darker charcoals in steps such as B, 2B, 4B , 6B etc. gradually getting darker. These techniques work with ANY medium including ink. Cheers

@DRAW JUICE I always see people start drawing with a sphere first. But can you start off with a cube first? Then I suppose the sphere would be inside the cube? Would be great if u could explain it or even make a video

All jokes aside, the problem I have with the Loomis method is that it takes a fair amount of understanding proportions before you even start. And, while it may just be the various tutorials I watched, it didn't tell you where the various markers for those proportions are. Chop off the sides of the head. Okay...but how much of it? Where does it start and end? I kept chopping off too much or too little, which led to the face looking wrong but not knowing why. It was years later that I watched some random person doing free drawing and they used a guideline at the end of the eyebrows that coincided with the start of the side plane of the head. And then it all clicked for me. Why didn't the 100+ Loomis videos I've watched ever show this guideline? I now use the Loomis method. But with different guidelines that make more sense in my opinion.

This video presents the methods. It doesn't explain them well at all. So, it's not really a tutorial. But I've never heard of three of these methods, and I'm interested in the Reilly, Hu, and Asaro methods as I'm familiar with Loomis. I struggle with likenesses and am self-taught. I can draw likenesses if they are already drawn by an artist, but, drawing from the photo or model is very hard for me.

@rem7502

Жыл бұрын

Yeah loomis and Reilly are usually taught as fundamentals. It’s amazing how he was able to go from a generic head to a likeness here. I can never get that right. But I think it’s also because the model here is very close to the idealised male head the loomis method leads to.

I feel like I actually understand this now!

Thanks for skipping the most important steps at 6:25. You just showed how to draw a generic head from 3/4 view, and then placed his characteristics without explaining how we can do it and make it look like the person pictured. I kinda hate these videos. It's like the maker is trying to show off his drawing skills but also doesn't actually want to help people learn

It doesn't make any sense. Lumis and Hu's methods is the same. As an artist, these are basic blocking methods. you can disregard the steps but you cannot forget the principles.

Your description of the Loomis method is too exaggerated and gross ‘bro’. Many artists use that method to good effect ‘bro’. Anyone who ignores so many very good artists should.not be teaching art! Bro!
