I have watched loads of this type of video on KZread and you have explained this method so clearly. I was so struggling recently with proportions and this has cleared up so many things with this method. Thank you so much it’s brilliant.

As a 15 year old beginner artist, who funny enough, has been drawing their whole life, this was the first time I was ever proud of a face a drew, as I drew along with your instructions. I'm just being to take art seriously and I'm really trying to learn, and the way you explained and showed, especially with the skull, was extremely helpful. I really, really appreciate the detailed insight and explanation into it, you've really helped me out and have been a huge part of the beginning of my real art journey.

I just found your video and omg, I LOVE the way you explained how to draw the side of the face, it seems so obvious you would just place it between those two lines at the top and bottom of the circle but I couldn't figure it out on my own I would always draw it too long or too short or too wide ugh. I'm definitely practicing this a ton now that I have a way to guide myself to find the side of the face, now I feel like I can turn the face in any direction. THANK YOU!

If you ever do a part 2 to this, I think it would be awesome to go over in more detail constructing the side plane of the face in various angles. I know that is one thing I struggle with, determining the side plane as the head rotates. Also a video on the more extreme angles would be amazing if you ever get to it. You're a great teacher and I'd love to see more videos like this one. If I could give stars to a youtube video youd get all of them! I've watched this video 3-4 times already as I work through the beginning of "Drawing the Head and Hands" really useful.

The video is pretty rough so I wanted everyone to know I was aware of that point that is why I have produced several other videos covering Loomis that are cleaner and more professional. However this was made to give the student the basic idea of Loomis in that context it works.
