I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your comment.

I am glad they have helped! Please help get the word out.

10:50 he is using a katana blade instead of scale.

Thank you Mik. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Parts 2 and 3 really compete the approach for finding the center line this is really just a first step.

master is a good term a lot of my actual teachers in my school don't even draw Loomis's method

@@alexbarb2829 I wasn't trained in Loomis in college either. I came across later in my professional career. There are other methods along with measuring, triangulation, basic proportions and so forth but I recognize Loomis would have taken my drawing to a professional level quicker if it had been taught to me in school.

Thank you I am glad your are enjoying the videos and finding them helpful.

Are you still drawing? I’m almost 1 month in

How are you holding up 2 years and a month in?

You’re welcome

Hey Hugo Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.

Thank you for watching! There are alot of left handed artists out there you are not alone. :)

@@KevinMcCainStudios I am also lefthanded, but the other day, I found myself using the right hand for a broader background. I was surprised, but this is, how I also paint walls.

Another amazingly talented left handed artist is Alex Tzavaras from simplify drawing and paining. I watch them both.

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Hello, I appreciate your questions. You create the circle and the ellipse that is 2/3 the height of the circle the you create the centerline that divides the front of the face from the side of the head. The you create a line on the outside of the face. Using the forehead and nose line and the two vertical lines. We use "x" marks the spot to find the middle. That is the first step. Part 2 and 3 finish the procedures for creating an accurate centerline. Thank you again for watching.

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Combined with learning perspective basics Loomis and Reilly are very powerful methods.

I am glad you enjoyed the video.

I am glad you enjoyed it.

I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for the compliment.

Hello Richard I appreciate your comment. This video is to help people getting used to finding the middle using "x" marks the spot. Part 2 of the video shows how to find perspective middle and take the guesswork out of the process.

Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed it.

I am glad you enjoyed the video.

I am glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your comment.

I practice lines and circle for 15 minutes everyday before drawing or painting. It helps with precision.

Thank you for watching.

I will, thank you for watching the video!

Your welcome. Thank you for watching!

You need to read the text linked to the images and not just look at the images. All of the information is in the text.

Obrigado

Did my explanations seem confusing? Let me know how I could improve the video. I will make more videos explaining the subtle concepts of Loomis. If you go to sketchfab.com they have some 3D Loomis head you can position and sketxh from if that helps. You will have so do a search for the Loomis head on sketchfab.com bur it's a great resource.

Also I appreciate you watching the video and trying to use the concepts. Thanks so much.

@@KevinMcCainStudios Thanks for the concern, professor! Your explanation is great, really, I see all the videos for that reason. I believe my problem is the lack of practice. I have the impression that I lack practice on straight and curved lines . But i will get there at some point. Thanks for the indication and the time. (and of course, sorry for the translator english).

Thank you for watching. If you watch part 2. It gives you the second part for finding the centerline. Check it out.

@@KevinMcCainStudios Thanks, I definitely will.

I am glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you for your comment. Your circle doesn't need to be perfect. Especially since it's going to be modified.

@@KevinMcCainStudios lol you’re right, I have to get past wanting it to look exactly like yours

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed the video.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I am glad you enjoyed the video.

True front view and true profile are 1 pt perspective views. All of the 3/4 views are 2 pt perspective.

The curve will echoe the curvature of the ellipse. This is mostly through feel from drawing thousands of ellipses. If you're not familiar with ellipse is start getting to know and drawing ellipses and the perspective of ellipses.

@@KevinMcCainStudios Yes, good advice. But if you don't know the correct way to begin with, then you will build your foundation on the flawed perspective so you go on to make 1,000 ellipses the wrong way because of habit. Sorry to make a negative comment, but I have the same question as the poster.

@@moorek1967 Thank you for your comment. First off we need to clarify some things. The is no such thing as a flawless drawing even from the most amazing artist you can point to, their drawing will have a certain amount of error build into the drawing. However it can be a small enough error that the eye won't perceive it. That is what we are shooting for, close enough that people can't perceive there is an issue. To answer the question of the angle, one needs to know about the major and minor axis for drawing ellipses. The ellipse drawn on the ball for this head uses an ellipse that is truly vertical or pretty close. If the ellipse representing the side of the head is 30 degrees with a vertical major axis then the center line ellipse that we are building off of would be 30 degrees with a vertical major axis and that ellipse would wrap the sphere or ball of the head. Now you could formally plot all this in perspective using boxes instead of free hand but you would gain very little.

@@moorek1967 Also part 3 of this series shows how to do this.

Also part 3 of this video shows where to wrap the center line and how to do it.

If I understand it your having troubles with the ellipses. As long as the ellipse touches the 1/6 line from the top and the 1/6 line from the bottom and you create a vertical ellipse(the major axis is vertical) within those to lines it should be okay, the ellipse doesn't have to be perfect. If you have trouble drawing ellipses and circles practice doing those freehand for 5 minutes three times a week. I also have 3 videos on ellipse drawing. I hope that helps. Here is the first one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrmPltWrr9DPlZc.html

@@KevinMcCainStudios I think the issue might be in finding the line that marks each side of the facial plane? Is this to do with drawing a square that hits hairline and under the nose? Is it that square that gives you the correct placement for the sides of the face?

@@heliusfacenna4109 Yes the sides of the square gives the sides of the face on the left side in this case.

Hello, I appreciate your comment. When ever you are drawing as an artist we simplify objects. Artist will talk about the "Head in a Box" to describe the perspective. However the truth is the head is a wedge shape not a box. The box is a simplification. The box that is 90 degrees to the "Line of Sight" and is created with a true rectangle the lines are kept truly parallel as a simplification. I appreciate you watching the video.

Thank you for watching

Thank you

Thank you for your comment. I am not sure about your question. You can use this on a head of any size.

Hello Stacey thank you for your question. Anytime a box is created with a true rectangle, that box is in 1 pt. Perspective. This is a 1 pt perspective box rotated slightly to the left. I hope that helps. Thank you again for your comment.

Repetition makes for a good ingestion of information. This way, coming out of the video, you have retained most of it because it was explained and repeated throughout.
