Drawing well proportioned heads consistently is a challenge for any beginning artist, and some us old pros sometimes too! There are a lot of different ways to approach head construction, but one of my favorites is the Loomis Method. In this video, we break down Andrew Loomis' head construction technique!

I can’t believe my drawing professor didn’t show the Loomis method when I was in school. This definitely takes the mysterious difficulty out of drawing heads. I’m going to practice, practice, practice and then attempt drawing my grandchildren. Thank you for this video.

Every art class in primary school should start with this to get the kids psyched about drawing faces. I feel like starting with still life is such a big turn off for so many young artists. It definitely was for me.

22:36 Getting comfortable drawing box in any perspective is so important before drawing loomis head, especially the centerlines of the box. Understanding space greatly helped me in getting the placement and angles of the facial features right. I was surprised how good I can get a head to look now with a bit of focus. Great video!

Mr Finch, if by the off chance you read or are notified on comments to month old posts; I want to say how immensely helpful and informative your videos are, especially for amateur artists like myself. Every time I watch I learn something new about your technique, and the process of drawing comic art in general. Some say it’s a dying art form, but artists like you prove that it’s still alive and energetically thriving. Your work is amazing, and your work with Tom King on Batman was EXTRAORDINARY. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤ -Big Fan
