oh man, I am SO excited. I've been wanting learn Loomis' method for about a year. I've watched tons of videos, including some great ones from Proko, but I still need some help. These lessons are priceless. thanks for making this!!

Hey Brad, I have been watching these beginning vids as part of my daily practice, for a few weeks. It reminds of going to music class trying impress people with my speedy riffs and my teacher telling me:" great, but can you play Bach Sarabande? " hmm..ne.."how about a few scales slowly..hmm..couldnt do it, Miles?...then you start all over....play a tone at a time an make it mean something...this is really hard ,but necessary foundations for those who haven't done it..I would strongly urge anybody wanting to do drawing to stick with it for a year to the point when you look at the result after a coffee break and it still looks ok, your eye has now been trained to see properly, something beginners dont know, including me....thanks Brad, really great work

Hi Bradwynn, the sound of the train create a good atmosphere to draw, saludos desde Mendoza Argentina

Thank you a million times! I do have a book, but I'm killing myself with this stage, and after this video - I did it! My god... THANK YOU MAN!!!!

Very nice video. Thank you. It helps a lot seeing someone really skilled practicing.

Fabulous... I’ve got the book. You’ve encouraged me to have a go at copying the drawings. 🙂

Great Job of sketching and teaching! Good luck and a speedy recovery on your operation 1

Love this! Would really appreciate more. Tia 🙂

Good man and perfect art

this channel is a big help for me

Fantastic thankyou so much xx

Me siento inspirado 😍

I bought the Loomis book in hardcover. So worth it!

thanx a lot you make it easy for me

Thank you.

Excellent

Thank you for your videos. They are really great. Could you also do a video on your favorite books for artists? Best!

Hi.. thanks..

Wish I’d found this before buying it the other day :(. Great channel thanks. Why do you hold the pencil in that way? I’ve just started drawing again at the tender age of 54 but hold it as I would to write, is that wrong for some reason?

The book is still public on Google Drive just search the title + PDF.

33:48

is there not free book now?

@Bradwynn Jones Why is it important to hold a pencil to the side?

Hey man why dont you make a studio tour videoo!!

I cant seem to find where I can download the free ebook 😢

HI, I could not find free art book?

Guessing the blog post for the free art e-book has been taken down. Went looking for it, but perhaps I did something wrong.

Am I missing something? He's already drawn two heads and no mention of spatial relationships?

What happened to drawingjones.com?

Yo could anyone email me the PDFs? Pleasassseee

Thanks for the Loomis book--never too late to enjoy drawing--in another three years, I hope to be another 85-year-old Grandma Moses

It's wonderful watching you draw, you make it look simple and inspiring. I had an old Loomis book I found at a garage sale - Figure Drawing For All It's Worth, and have a whole new respect for him. Please continue to make more videos.

I love you Bradwynn. You have no idea how much I've been looking for it! Thank you!!!!

This is really generous of you - thanks!

Thank you SO much for posting this book!

Thank you, Bradwynn for this amazing short tutorial to simplify one of the most complicated drawing books :)

This was very helpful and I vote for more like it. Thanks for the link to the Loomis book. I was just in Solana Bay for the week and every time the train went by I had the urge to draw. Thanks for all the great videos.

THANK YOU! Not since "Drawing on the right side of the brain" is drawing technique so usefull.

Hi Bradwynn, great video as always. I believe that all the Loomis books are available as a free download. I purchased his Figure Drawing For All Its Worth book and it has the head exercises in it as well. Yes! Please do more of these videos. Thank you!

amazing! i love Loomis and your video is very very helpful.

I found the online versions over a decade ago on the bring-back-loomis website, but the books were out of production until about two years ago I believe. Bought this one and 'figure drawing for all it's worth' as soon as I found out they were back in production as a personal treat. Such classics!

It is a great idea. It is a lot easier to get motivated to do exercises like this when we can follow along with you.

Loomis is the Don of Drawing. Thanks for sharing, squire

And I bought this book about two months ago! Great video, I practised this page, but this instruction helps me a lot. Thanks for posting.

NICE! yes, we want more

Great!! Just perfect!

Keep up the epic work man! I was thinking of practice this way myself.

My dad learned from Loomis, and gave me his books to continue the tradition... of course we want more! :)

Thanks for sharing this video ;) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Yes, want more. Watching you was much more understandable than trying to follow static pictures.

Why is that every head I draw looks like Nicolas Cage??

Awesome. A classic classic book meets youtube!

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! Enjoying your videos!

It's really gonna help me so thank you Jones , we wanna see more video .

Just a positive feedback: If possible try to keep the canvas vertical, aligned with the reference, that way beginners like myself can relate the line angles more precisely. And thanks! Your videos help me a lot

Great idea! Thank You for this. I've found this book about a month ago. It is great but I have difficulties getting into it on my own. Mainly because I lack the discipline to do this fundamental stuff properly. Following You on this will make it so much easier. Thanks again and greetings from Poland ;)

Thanks for uploading this video has been very helpful, I would love to see more.

Great to see how you tackle studying from book because to me Loomis specially is too clean and sometimes criptic, looking at your process i can see that my approach was actually correct so that puts my mind at ease :D Awesome video bud. :)

This is so nice to listen to and watch! Keep going!!

Yes make more from the loomis books:)

great video. Always a big fan of Loomis. Love it how you approach it. .

Thanks for sharing this video and pdf!!

Great video, I'm having trouble figuring out where to slice the ball on the sides, also it is very satisfying the sound that pencil makes on the paper.

This was really cool! I always hear how artists practice but never a video and commentary.

This video was exactly what I needed. I seriously hope that you continue to make more videos from ANY of the Andrew Loomis series. I was wondering if you would ever make a video covering the hand section of the Head And Hand book?

great video!

Hey Bradwynn! Thanks for the link to the book download. Really appreciate it and going to add it to my files.

hi . thanks for your videos!!, it helps a lot.!!!! my favorites.. it will be cool, if you make a few more, once you get the time. best regards jonas

it is awesome thanks a lot, of course we want more

I actually have this pdf copy, and it actually improve my drawing skills.. Nice video! Upload more like this... (Sry for the grammar)

Thank you thank you thank you so much! Great videos as well!

Good way to share the drawing techniques in the way... hope you can also show the figure drawing part... thank you!

Thanx a lot for this video brad awesome stuff!!

Enjoyed the vid. Can you do a vid on getting your pencil to shape and what style of pencil? Thanks

Hello bradwynn, nice to see you drawing again. I would like to give you an idea for your next drawing. Since you draw rather realisitc stuff wich seems to be your comfort zone, what would you think about, drawing a fictional character. Like Kain, the godfather of all vampires. But in your own interpretation, you can use reference fotos if you want but id much rather see you create in it in your imagination but of course its up to you. This can be very challanging, and it might turn you off^^

Nice video! Maybe you could give some tips on how you can draw better circles?

hey man , great video as always . I follow what you do in the videos, will you be doing painting videos as well ?

Awesome video..

This reminds me my study sessions with Mr. Andrew Loomis, very frustrating as it was the first thing in my drawing journey if I remember correctly. Great video as always and I enjoyed it, it's nice to see your versions of Loomis heads and study workflow, keep the vids coming if possible, it's really spectacular.

What kind of information are you looking to gain when you do studies like this from Loomis? Just basic head construction? I have found that it is pretty difficult to copy these drawings verbatim, as simple as they are.

Yes a good idea.

Thanks! Great video! Please, consider making a video on drawing small heads for figure drawings. What to look for and all that's relevant. Mine are rubbish and I have not found a single thing to help me with this. Again, thanks.

Esse livro eu encontro em Algum Site??? What website can I find this book?

I don't think you can go wrong studying the techniques in Andrew Loomis books. I heard that the artist Alex Ross was heavily influenced by Andrew Loomis' work, which you can see in some of Alex's work.

Hey, I'm struggling to get the point of my pencil as sharp as yours. Ive watched your sharpening video but the tip is still not as precise as i would like it to be. Do you have any tips?

Hello Bradwynn, are you using a charcoal pencil or a graphite pencil? Just wondering if we can cut and hold a graphite pencil the way you are doing?

Thank´s Bradwynn :) Hug

what would you recommend first to learn: Loomis, reilly or bridgeman?

😇😇😇

What kind of sharpener do you use?

i am a complete beginner of drawiing ... the advantage of this kind of holding the pencil is that the hand is not between the eyes and drawed?

Copying from this book is so frustrating to me, Loomis is just too good a draughtsman to perfectly replicate his balance of straights and curves

Great video, really like that u decided to do this book. I am total beginner and I wonder is better for me to draw with pencil or charcoal pencil sharpened like yours? 😀

what type of pencil do you use?

hey B Jones would you please make it a series please? I would Love to study Loomis, but since my english o is not that good... your vídeos would help a lot!!!:)

I found it online. I have tried this so many hours and hours and hours, for years. For some reason all I can make is long faces.

what kind od pencil is that ?

How often did you practice drawing the heads from this page, before it stuck?

You can also find Bridgemans anatomy books in pdf format easily !

He's got the ligameme
