Loomis method explained in FULL DETAIL! Learn how to draw the front and side view of the human head and face, step by step using the Loomis method, plus I added some of my own techniques here and there!

The Andrew Loomis head drawing method is AMAZING, but it took me an extremely long time to fully grasp in order to craft this tutorial. There were some details missing from his book that I couldn't wrap my head around until I started practicing the method every day for about a month. I'm a slow learner and not as bright as the average Joe, but I finally started to piece it all together. This tutorial is meant to fill in all those blanks that I struggled with when I was learning the Loomis method so that I can help other artists learn it more easily and grasp the concepts quickly.

I hope this tutorial was able to clear up any questions or difficulties you have regarding the Loomis method.

Please excuse my raspy voice. I'm still getting over a cold :)
