How to Easily Draw Heads | Understanding the Loomis Method

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 learning the Loomis method myself and I practice drawing 5 different angeled heads in my sketchbook. 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.

    Major props for pointing out that talent isn't everything.Too many times people act like artists just know how to do what they do without any effort. Art (drawing, painting, ceramics, all of it) requires just as much practice and effort at any other skill.

    I completely agree with you. I draw everyday, and I read books about drawing everyday. I try to submerge myself in it as much as I can. It is more than a hobby, for me it is very much a lifestyle.

    It's been really hard to get back into art and I had a slump were I felt so demotivated to draw because I was scared of being bad at it. This video made me feel so much better and the instructions were clear and beautiful. Thank you

    I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. It was the only thing, growing up, that I was told I was good at - both by teachers, and at home. For years and years on end I used to dream about a career centered around drawing - be it as an artist in the classic sense, or doing digital artwork, or even industrial design. But, it turns out, when you're a child, and everyone around you tells you you're never going to amount to anything but a huge disappointment, you tend to find it hard to develop the confidence needed to dare to even try applying to any art school since that entails sending in your work to be judged. And I couldn't handle the thought - and I knew it to be the inevitable outcome ("knew") - of having real and talented artists taking a look at my work only to burst out in unison scornful laughter. I also knew that me pursuing a creative career would only add to the parental unit's notion of me being a disappointment and failure. So in the end, I went another rout and became an Egyptologist and an archaeologist - still not a "real" education in the eyes of aforementioned parental unit, but at least it ment I attended the university, so there were still hope I'd grow up one day and change subject. Which I never did - growing up _or_ change to a "legitimate" and "real" subject of study. Now, in my mid- forties, and in early retirement (who knew: how you're treated as a child has the power to severely limit your own power for decades to come, ey? ;) ), while it's still not a career, and never will be, I've had many many years - in the solace of the solitude of my own home - to work through many of the mental blocks I used to have that hindered me to even try new things, new techniques, new mediums of creative expression. And I've expanded greatly in the scope of what I do, and how I do it. For the longest time, I used to do nothing but graphite drawings. And I still do graphite drawings, but I also paint using acrylics, oils and aquarelle. I draw using colour pencils, oil pastell, dry pastell, inks - you name it. I also bind books and make silver jewelry. I sculpt in stone, clay, and gypsum plaster, and I make miniatures, and whole bunch of other stuff - if it's something that catches my eye, and keeps my hands busy - sooner or later, you'll find me knee deep in it. BUT, I still have no formal training in any of it. And - just as when I was a kid and a teenager/young adult - I still wish I did. Because, as our wonderful artist points out in the beginning of this video: (Paraphrasing) Talent alone can only take so far. And in my own experience - perhaps only true for me, but I believe at the very least it _could_ potentially have some merit to it for others as well - as long as you'rer only challenged by yourself, you're more or less doomed to hit that wall that is the limitation you set up for yourself long before you even started. I used to draw graphite portraits. Because that was my safety zone. But not only did I soon find my work boring - lacking in imagination, and lacking in expression. I also found that for the life of me, I couldn't draw an entire figure - only the head. Talk about being restricted! So, eventually, I grabbed the pen by its horns, so to speak, and intentionally started to draw portraits where the head was, e.g., leaning towards the hand. (Because, to be frank, the mere thought of drawing noting but hands 10 000 times, bores the living **** out of me.) Realizing - by seeing it with my own eyes - that I _could_ in fact learn to draw hands, gave me the confidence to believe I could learn to draw feet as well. But - as with hands - drawing feet 10 000 times wasn't my way to go: I needed a natural way of inserting them into the picture. Which, as I bet you've already guessed, ment connecting them with the rest. Ergo: I had to draw the rest of the body. And so, from there, it continued, and developed. 'Cause how fun is a drawing - or a painting for that matter - that's nothing but a figure, floating in nothing? Now, I'm still not an artist - at least not a very good one. And I still wish I could be: I wish I had the know-how, the talent, the education, the creativity, the confidence, the opportunity and all of that. However, while still dreaming about all the things I know life doesn't have in store for me (I'm not in early retirement just for fun, after all), there are still things I can do, and make use of, to avoid finding myself stuck in one place for the remainder of my time on Earth. And lucky for me, unlike way back when when I was a youngster, nowadays there's this wonderful resource out there. You probably know about it already, but in case you don't: They call it "The Internet". Yes, that's right: The Internet! Never before in all of mankind's quarter of a million year history (roughly estimated 250 000 years at this point in time, but new discoveries are still to this day pushing that number further back in time - how cool is that?! Personally I find to be one of the coolest things ever - so cool it makes me all warm and happy inside!) - never before, in all that time, has information - knowledge - been so readily available and literally at our fingertips. And while that knowledge and information encompasses any and all areas of study you can think of. That fact alone means it also includes the topic of art, and artistic expression. And I'm here for it! And to those of you who's made it this far - reading through all of my, at best, quasi-interesting ramblings - I'd like to say: Thank you for your patience - hopefully you found it worth while - and more than that: I encourage you to not allow yourself - to _never_ allow yourself - to be the one that stops you in your track: There are already way too many people out there in the world who would do anything to make your life miserable. Don't make their job any easier. Instead, show them they're wrong about you; show them by taking advantage of the knowledge that's out there - free, and at the very tips of your fingers. Maybe you'll never be a van Gogh. Maybe you'll never receive a Nobel prize. Maybe you won't become a multi millionaire. But you _will_ become better, and you _will_ know more. And most importantly of all: You *will* feel better about yourself, knowing you're doing what you can to not be stuck in a place where you don't want to be. Lastly: A huge, and utterly sincere, Thank You! to *Messer Creations* for sharing your knowledge with all of us! I can't even begin to express how valuable what you're doing is. Stay Safe, and Stay Sane Cheers!

    I just wanna say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for this video. I used to draw a lot when I was a kid but kinda stopped out of frustration with the lack of improvment as I grew up. I always felt too overwhelmed by the loomis method and never quite managed to memorize it and apply it. It smothered my desire to draw and the will to be consistent with practicing. I've decided to start again this year and just with your video, it clicked. I stare amazed at my sketches, feeling like I unlocked the biggest obstacle to my improvement and motivation. Thank you for this, you got a new sub!

    I had to comment here. Thanks so much for this video and part 3. I'm finally beginning to crack this Loomis method thing. You know what? I've watched so many videos on it but this is the one I've had my breakthrough. I had a think about it and I figured out why this particular video helped it click. It's because you start out taking the section on the side and drawing the two plane marks there. That "cross" clearly marks the angle and facing of the....face. the other videos do this bit later on so all my heads looked like a mess of lines with parts of the face looking in different directions. It was so frustrating. Anyway, wanted to give props for a great video but more than that, wanted to help others here with what cracked it (at least for me).. Great work!

    I’m glad you decided to comment Chris. The Loomis head has helped me so much with my drawings as well. The side plane and the vertical and horizontal axis are crucial to help frame the face in any direction you wish. I’m glad it was helpful and that you had your breakthrough. Take care my friend 😊🙌🏻

    I have not attempted heads before I tend to do floweres and birds. Feel this is just for me so I can move to the human world. You have really spoken to me. My artist uncle left me his sketch books from these I have seen how his work and ideas progressed over his 89 yr career as potter lecturer and I now realise his favorite medium was printing especially in metal and wood cuts. My failure is not sketching every day. I am afraid of failing. It has to be perfect to go in my sketch book. Learned loads tonight. Thank🇬🇧

    Thank you for sharing that :) You don't have to sketch everyday so long as when you do sketch you are completely absorbed in the moment. Don't worry about perfection, instead let your attention shift to the volume of work you create. It is through repeatedly creating your work that a more perfect version will start to appear. This is the trick to ascending in artistic ability. Just have fun, the rest will come.

    Messer Creation, you're the absolute coolest art teacher ever! Before your videos, my attempts at drawing heads looked like they belonged in a potato sack . But thanks to your amazing explanations and your enthusiasm that could light up a whole art class, I'm finally starting to see real faces emerge from my scribbles! You kept reminding us to practice, and guess what? I found myself nodding along like a total believer, ready to take on the Loomis method . You made it so clear and, believe it or not, even enjoyable (who knew drawing heads could be fun? ). Thanks for being a legend, Messer Creation! You've seriously sparked a fire in this newbie artist's soul! ✨ Consider me a new subscriber!
