Hi,
I am currently learning the Loomis Head based on the 3D model. Next, on the Lay In, I want to draw the skull in its bone structure. Unfortunately this part is not shown as an example by Stan or I overlooked it. Do you have a suggestion or a video on how I can best proceed?
I had read that the Loomis Head is well suited to draw a skull. As a reference I bought the 3d skull from Proko.

Hi guys,
I am currently practicing the Loomis Head from different perspectives (3D Modell) and have noticed that I often don't hit the oval on the head correctly. Above all, it is the width that gives me a problem. Do you have a good idea how I can better assess the width? I am currently measuring it with the pencil in relation to the height. Angle sighting is not working for me because there a not many points to start with. There is a quick example of my problem in the attachment.

I think i have now understood my main mistake. In the 3D model, the two lines in the middle of the ellipse have nothing to do with the minor and major axis of the ellipse. Even if it sounds totally stupid, I always reflexively aligned my ellipse to the width and height of the cross. That is of course stupid :).
@John Carter Your Art is inspiring, thank you for sharing it.

Hi there,
I am concerned with the Loomis Head and find it difficult to simplify. But this is mainly due to the construction approach and its perspective (Therefore I'm working on drawabox to improve my imagination of perspective and construction).
I have the following questions and I ask for your help:
1) Are my Loomis heads going in the right direction?
2) How can I best check whether my Loomis Heads are correct?
3) Can I do an overlay somehow?
4) When would you start using references from real people to study?

PS: Many thanks in advance for your feedback.
