Watching this video makes me feel like we're witnessing the cracking of the matrix. So many solutions to SO many mass problems are solved here. This method should be the one to be teached, instead of simple porportions. Thsnk you so so so so so much, will implement this in my drawings!

thats EXACTLY how i feel, like this makes me think theres a universal design template for everything, and watching this vid has helped me understand there's a relationship between all areas of the face

Me: **watching first 4 minutes** okay this is very simple. Nice. I think I'll just skip forward. Also me: oh god

Oh man, I am an absolute beginner who struggles drawing circles. No idea what to start learning first so I did this on a whim when I saw it on my sidebar. I came out with some strange ape-man. Everytime I look at him I crack up laughing. His odd facial expression makes him look...content? At ease? Well, I had fun at least lmao.

It's easier to draw the face, then add all the circles.

After you build up and refine your skills with some months of practice. You...i should then come back and finish your line drawing by making it into some imaginative, content, ape man! Lol

I am reading this one year later. It would be amazing to come back to your first try and do it again to compare

I ended up with something. I dont know what its supposed to be, but its something.

something is better than a page with a polar bear in a snowstorm (an old joke reference to a blank page) my problems or one of them is I rarely ever really "finish" what I start or when I've gotten stuck with trying to draw something I cannot figure out how to properly fix it.. I love the arts and draftsmanship and other people's work but it is also my achilles heel.

KZread, where were you forty years ago when I was trying to learn to draw people? I'm thankful that you exist for this generation of would be artists.

Although Reilly's method is longer, I personally find it much simpler and more intuitive than Loomis' or Bridgman's. Beginning artists are not yet experienced with references or deductions, so their face drawings may be disproportionate or flattened. But the Reilly method approaches face's planes, features, volumes and measurements in a simple way (a lot of the time you're just splitting things into two or three or connecting points) but also in a mathematical and specific way (which helps when placing the face at more extreme angles and foreshortening).

I have been trying the Loomis method so far, but I feel like it's kinda giving you a sort of dummy head, and it's not precise enough for me. But this seems to make much more sense. And your explanation is quite easy to follow. Gonna give this a go now. Though I suppose there's always something to learn from different approaches. Thanks for posting this 👍

Now I know where I was always stuck with Loomis method. This one (Reilly's) is far way detailed and more logical! 'm so happy to finally have seen it! ☺☺☺☺

Effing finally!!! Jesus, why is this method so hard to find... Thank you for not wasting my time completely like every other person that talks about the Reilly Method... This is by far the best video, ANYWHERE, on this technique... Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! Sorry for yelling... It's not rage, it's passion... 😎

Agreed! ❤

Me: accidentally shaves off too much from the first circle, creates an elongated face Galen: you can purposely distort the face, because all the parts will be relative to each other Me: that's what I meant to do...

By far, the best explanation of drawing the head that I've found on KZread so far!

yo man I was able to follow the steps perfectly on digital and traditional media, thanks for taking the time to teach this

Thanks for making this. I watched once and then went back and watched, with pause button at the ready, with a sketchbook in my hand. I drew something resembling a head. I'll keep coming back to this and, maybe, do 10 more until it starts to sink in. You explain everything so clearly. Thanks again.

Extremely helpful and I greatly appreciate that I can hear you LOUD AND CLEAR! In so many videos I've watched the person speaks very softly and/or mumbles and sometimes it's like they're talking to themselves and they forget that they're filming and we need to hear them! Men with deeper voices especially need to be conscious of this. Thank you so much for an awesome video!

@shelly49 thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy that you found it helpful. And yeah, I fully agree... it can be really frustrating when you watch a GOOD tutorial but can't hear the details on what's being done.

Anyone watching this in 2021?? I mean since this video came out there have been so many videos describing the method but I always come back to this. It's just great👍 Thanks a ton.

Thanks for these two Reilly Tutorials. I never leave comments but really had to this time. I have used and seen this method explained by many many many people. Yours was the first tutorial I have seen that gave the details behind the abstraction lines! You also gave excellent tips like rounding the line at the top of the square to create a more natural curve to the side of the head. I also appreciated how you intuitively modified the order of the abstractions making it all easier to recall and so much more logical. You have a gift for teaching. Thanks so much for sharing your process. Looking forward to seeing how you establish the width of the mouth and how you would personally use this method to create a likeness from a photo. Really really FANTASTIC 👍🏼

@@ArtbyGalen yes truly! Most vídeos dont teach nothing at all, they just ramble! Makes it seem artist dont wanna share their secrets, thank you very much!!!

This is the best face construction guidelines I've ever seen. Thank you so much!

This helps a lot i a perfect description. The more you learning the curves, the more you can imagin them while sketching live.Thank you very much from Berlin!

SUPER helpful description! Thank you for actually describing what you are doing while you are doing it- many videos they just are drawing and expect you to magically understand exactly what is happening!

I’m only 5 minutes in but this looks like a good diagram for sculpting with clay, what a savior you are. So much detail and explanation and I’m not even half way through. Great video.

This makes so much more sense to me than anything else I've seen. THANK YOU!

as soon as you mentioned the light source, it was like a switch went on in my brain. i was using the loomis method before (and it was really great!), but i feel like i can actually visualise how light and shadows work with the face now? this was super helpful, thanks for the video

Where has this method been all my life? Why have I never been taught this before I got my Art degree? Thank you so much!

Very helpful step by step demo of the Reilly rhythms for portraits of the face. Thank you so much, Galen.

This is BRILLIANT. Thank you for breaking this down for us!!!

This is better some of the other tutorials and I appreciate you add the facial features and not just the shape of the head

I have never understood how to draw faces before. Your video is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this!

This was incredibly helpful! I subscribed because of this vid alone. Look forward to exploring this some more.

This is the only video that’s helped me understand the planes and areas of the face. Thank you so much dude !!

This deserves so much more views and comments this is the best tutorial I have watched ina while I think you’re an awesome teacher thank you so much

I love this Reilly Method. I was able to get a pretty good result after the first time, but I have to repeat it several times so I can do it without having to refer to the video.

Thank you for introducing this method in such clear and through way! It is very helpful!

Thank you for this video, it's going to take me some practise to get the formula down, but this is exactly what I need as a guide for mapping the face. Thumbs up, keep up the excellent work Galen!

SO GREAT ! i needed to understand shapes and volume of the face outside of usual eyes mouth nose sections and this helped so much thanks

Alright, i'm done with Loomis. Thanks for this!!

Best method and the best tutorial about it I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much, Galen!!!🙏

I've seen so many Reilly method videos, however, your video is the best when it comes to explanation and presentation. Very clear in lines and refences. Very amazing video.

Best Reilly method tutorial here

Woow this definitely improved my drawing, specifically with proportions. Making it look more 3d rather than just a flat picture that looks more kinda like a potato than an actual person. I used to follow the loomis method but find it kinda hard to visualize the reference whenever doing freehand cos I never really understood the anatomy, but this method makes if easier for me to see where muscles and bone structures should be. Thank you so much for this ❤️

This is the best explanation of the Riley method I came across, straight to the point. Thanks.

Amazing tutorial, improved my drawing drastically in 17 mins!

BRAVO thank you, Galen!!!

This is the best breakdown of the Riley rhythm lines that I have found so far! Thanks!

Thanks so much for this! I've watched what feels like hundreds of videos on the Loomis method and it's still confusing. Yours with so much detail made so much more sense for me! Thank you! I'm looking forward to looking at all your other videos.

Excellent explanation of the Reilly Method. Thank you.

My AP art teacher is using this as study material and it’s so crazy how well it works, thank you for this gem of a video

Thank you. My face drawing always looked flat, this method helps resolve that, makes the face more 3 dimensional, and helps correctly shade the face. Look forward to more such tips. Satish - Chennai city - India

That was one of the most useful drawing video I have ever seen on youtube! A lot of things are clear as crystal now, I feel like I'm enlightened. Thank you so much!

I love how your tutorial is on point and is actually quite helpful. Throughout the whole tutorial I am like hmmm., hmmm, ,yes like you are actually teaching me individually. Thank you for this😊

Brotha, ive watched this video 10 times already in the last 3 hrs. im gonna continue to study this video, its already helped me soooo much. crazy video man!!! First time hearing of Reily method, again this vid is super rad. Thank you.

Your "show and tell" was very informative and more clear to me than other videos! Thank you so much. :)

Interesting. The best Reilly method demonstration that I have seen. We can use a few steps from this method, but it would be easier to just learn how to draw the face directly from observation.

This was awesome. I have been struggling with highlights and shadows and this breaks it down. Thank you!!

Wauw your way of explaining is really great! 👌🏽 Thanks so much! Happy that i found you 🤩

Hey, I wanted to thank you for this great video. I was able to learn the Reilly Method traditionally because of you. Originally, I thought it was a photo reference thing where you traced over pictures of models. But you've allowed me to expand on the idea and explore more depth into the Reilly Method. I am very reluctant I was able to do these exercises traditionally as I'm normally used to. Thank you, as you're greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much Galen this is the best demo/instruction of the Reilly method I've seen.

Thanks for sharing. I will use this method for sure!

I took a long break from art and almost forgot how to draw faces. I was searching for tutorials, specifically the one that helped me to learn the basics of portrait drawing. All I could remember was a method that was mentioned but I forgot that too! And finally after searching for some time, I've found this! Yes, I was searching for this tutorial exactly. This tutorial is absolutely helpful and well explained ♥️ Thanks for sharing ♥️

Wow. Great method and very helpful video. Thanks!

Really powerful, and COMPLICATED method. I’ll be getting familiar with Loomis then maybe coming back to this. Thanks a bunch for the information! You deserve more than 9k subscribers.

Wow this really does give a lot more detail than other methods I've seen. Also, this is a really good way to learn the planes of the face. Thanks for the tutorial!

amazing tutorial! I fell in love with reilly method. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing such an awesome method

Hi! Thank you for your hard work! I love your tutorial! It has helped me to understand a lot of things and to understand how to shadow better! I've been struggling to find a good video explanation of this subject! Thank you! ♥️

Absolutely wonderful way... Well done

The best ever tutorial. Seriously.

So glad I found this video, thank you so much for explaining the method clearly🥰

best description available on the internet. thankyou.

You have helped me to understand the potential practical application when you showed us that the whole can be distorted to suit the person maintaining the proportions.thank you xxxx

I really like the way you explained the shadow thing, That was very helpful. I watched some other videos about this method before but your video was the easiest for me to understand

Really enjoyed this Galen...nice job!

Thanks for taking the time to teach this. I learnt tons. 👍

so well described, great lesson, many thanks!

I just found this. it's incredibly helpful. thank you!

Enjoyed it.. I'm going to draw different angles of this and us it as a rough draft. Thanks!

This is so far the best tutorial . I'm a beginner painter, trying to paint the guy on my PP. This step by step explanation is helping me a lot on creating the nearest look I can muster. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for explaining the benefits of the Reilly method! really well explained Galen!

Reilly really helped me figure out Loomis, if that makes any sense. Loomis' book relies a little on guesswork for certain crucial lines after the ball and cross, and that defeats the purpose of learning the fundamentals. Reilly bridges that gap.

Loved it. Very helpful.

Most doable and enjoyable. to watch.

Very excellent tutorial- thank you!

very straightforward and informative, THANKS!

Thank you for explaining as you go along. Your instruction is v helpful.

That's amazing method!! Thank you is more in details as I needed!!

what a GREAT video!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Wanted to advance my drawing to intermediate this is showing me how. THANK U THANK U THANK U!!!! I have subscribed to your tube videos. I am now a big fan. So grateful. The speed of video is perfect. U can really see exactly what u r doing before u go on to next step.

I'm mindblown!! And the way you explained is really clear and not confusing at all

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

Most helpful! I am jumping back in from a long hiatus so for a forward facing portrait it’s very useful. I will look for any videos you may have on side and angle views. Thanks loads!

Great tutorial Galen, can't wait to try this method.

Thank you! You have explained the face in such as easy way to learn to draw it.

Wow!! Thank you so much! This is SO HELPFUL!!

wow, this method helps me a lot. In addition, you have a very pleasant voice, a detail that is very important to me. Thank you for your effort!

I am really suprised! You did such auch great work with this Video! I saw every Tutorial about this method on KZread, but nobody did such a good description als you. I habe mit absolutely understand where to put some rhythm lines exactly and especially, what part of the face the planes are. But you did this really great!!!! 😃 Thank you very much!

One of the best videos I have watched about drawing faces. Thank you

Man, thanks. You really broke it down. Now I can really start applying it to my drawings.

BRO HOW ARE YOUR LINES SO SMOOTH BRUUUH

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO OF DRAWING FACES ! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH !😍

Thank you!! Great tips! This will really help charting out the face

Not complicated after you explained, so simple and lucid,thank you so much.
