I think I just need to work on the hair more. I was never really good at drawing hair to begin with but I still wanted feedback on how I can improve.

My suspicions have been confirmed. The Loomis method isn’t very effective if you don’t fully understand the planes of the face and facial rhythms.
Drawing the features onto the Loomis guidelines feels like wrapping a gift. It’s 3-dimensional, but we lose the nuances of the face.

Drawing along felt very helpful. The pacing was slow enough to keep up.

I have a question guys will Loomis method work on images like this, I think its a foreshortened image thats why standard ratios might not work. Please suggest.

This definitely speeds up the process, but it is super hard to get the proportions and likeness right with this method. I also don't understand why in some explanations in the drawing course the drawing starts with rough sketching then followed by construction, but in some other cases we are supposed to start from construction straight away. Like why would we not roughly sketch the head before drawing all the construction lines?

I can 'see' how to create the portrait from the circle but have no clue when I find an image on the web I would like to copy as to where to place the 'guiding' circle. I have seen post where the circumference embraces the now and other times it touche lips,etc. Is there a guiding rule or just simply draw it over the image and then start placing featues? I am lost on this

Critiques appreciate my first attempt and the lips are definitely throwing me off. I would love advice!

Decided to go through the whole portrait drawing class from the beginning again since I was getting rusty. I have had alot of trouble with the Loomis method and here is my second go at it. Hoping I can finally master it! This time I am going all digital as well.

The first day that i tried to draw a sphere with the ellipses, it was hard, and i was trying for hours. I then practice it again the next day and it was so much easier, i could imagine the lines and i enjoyed the drawing. But most of all i enjoy the learning process and how the brain works.
(the first day, i went for sleep at night and i was dreaming about the spheres, lol :)

Why is it different from 3D? Did I miss something?

at 2:00, a line from the chin is drawn that connects to the center of the oval. but in the 3d model rendition, it implies that that same line connect to the top of the oval as opposed to the center. which is the more accurate representation, and why does it seem that there is a difference.
