I hope this is the right section, sorry if it isn't
I'd like to ask a question to those more experienced about portraiture or, in general, the creation of a human face. Now, maybe the question is stupid, but I have this doubt and I would be grateful if you could answer. Now, I've learned the Loomis method, starting from the circle and so on to create the head. I've seen and studied the facial planes and done other studies, then I discover that in the end, many artists, when creating the head, start directly from a shape and then add the various facial features, perhaps to create characters. Now my question is, what was the point of studying Loomis and the various methods if I could start directly from the shapes? How do I connect the various methods together? I mean, I'm a bit confused about this and I'd like someone expert to clarify my ideas. I hope there's someone here on Proko willing to help me. I hope I've been clear on the question. Sorry if that's not the case. Thanks everyone for the answer in advance.
