    Very good drawing! I think its important to note to viewers that while the Loomis method is indeed more accurate and proportional to the model being drawn (most of the time), it often takes longer than free hand methods which require good intuition and understanding of 3 dimensional structure(s) of the model, in this case, head. In conclusion the Loomis method is very suitable for beginner to advanced artists whom struggle with accuracy and proportions. remember artists, its the subtle imperfections that give life and beauty to drawings. Experiment with your own interpretations and you shall see your unique art style bloom, and flourish!

    I would like to add that this is the average head of the Loomis method and Loomis also describes in his books how you can change proportions and use it to draw all kinds of abominations. It is a good method for understanding the basic structure of the head, but in time you can let go of it or keep just parts of it. Whatever suits you, but just try to not just force all your faces in the average model if you are drawing from reference or doing a live portrait of someone.

    Loomis was a great artist, and he said, very specifically, that anybody who tries to draw the head and place the features without some sort of system is doomed to fail 9 times out of 10. You can't freehand a portrait. Well, you *can,* but more often than not it will be incorrect.

    Where the ear attached at the top of the ear looks to be the center of the oval which is in line with the brow line and reaches to the outer edge of the eyebrow…and the bottom is just below the bottom of the ear, so when the head rotates you can use the eyebrow and ear to adjust the widening or foreshortening of that oval plane.

    The Loomis method doesn’t cover every feature in detail. In order to get good at proportions, practice drawing lots of basic Loomis head while referring to head references at different angles. Eventually, it’ll be ingrained into your visual library.

    Loomis's book can seen rather daunting at first. Seems almost like learning an algebra equation. Because initially the point is to really drive home the understanding of the shapes and how they flow. When you see a master using Loomis, what they do is much "simpler" than what you will find in Loomis's book. Because they already have an understanding of shape and form. In my opinion just understanding the form of simple shapes is the biggest key to drawing. Once you have that down like 80% of the battle is won, because ANYTHING can be constructed out of simple shapes and broken down into simple shapes. Then things like anatomy, texture, shading will be the focus, but the thing is from that point on you just have to focus on honing your skills on the detail. When you are drawing from reference actually study it, deconstruct it. Load the source image into a program and deconstruct it. Say you are doing a portrait of a face. Do the loomis method on the image of the face itself. This will all lead to a better understanding of the simple shapes that make up complex shapes.

I know you said in answer to another question asking what paper you used, you said A4, but what's your preferred thickness for pencil drawing, as in GSM? I know the tooth can still vary, and it can be a case of trial and error.

    They make it look so easy but it's very difficult in practice. Also the Loomis method is difficult with real people because the foundation he uses to build faces on is very rigid and real faces differ in proportion and not all are alike meaning they often wont fit with the ball method he uses.

    If I might be critical, your drawing is great but the angle of eyes is off because the initial middle slice of the circle was not at the right angle. The eye on the left of your drawing should be a bit lower down. I was never taught to draw by any method so I just draw by observation so I see straight away when angles etc are off. What I would be inclined to do if I could be arsed to draw is with a copy of the original picture plot these points actually on the picture itself just to be sure you are getting the angles the same.

    Loomis would correct the photo distortion and he would reduce the size of the nose, as it doesn’t benefit the sitter. He was a very beauty and harmony oriented artist. I own all his books I could find, and he always instructed to improve the photo as the eye of a camera has its limitations. His books were written over 60 years ago, but nowadays the photo distortions have become an unattractive norm :enlarged noses and elongated or deformed faces. Next time before you mention Loomis method fix the photo or your interpretation of it. Good luck!
