The Reilly Method of Head Drawing- Part 1

In this video I go over the step-by-step process of creating the human head using the Reilly Method. If you already know what the Reilly abstraction is-- and simply want to know how to draw it-- this video is for you. I hope this video is helpful in breaking down a drawing technique that seems much more overwhelming than it actually is.
I hope that you enjoy my first video. More to come! Please like this video if you find it helpful and subscribe if you'd like notifications on my videos as they are released. Thank you!

being self taught from the age of bookstores to this new age of internet, i find it fascinating how you can see dozens of people talk about the same concept and never communicate anything. Then you ind one great resource like this video and you immediately "level up" your work just from one session. Thank you very much for this video.

Wow this is one of the few resources I was able to find that actually spoke on how the reilly method worked and how to do it. Thank you! This is so useful especially when knowing something like hampton’s or the loomis method, combining them with this is useful. Really appreciate this, thanks!

The Loomis method is okay but it does have its limitations but this method picks up where that method leaves out. I'm so glad I found this video.

I apologize for the delay between videos. I have several videos that only need narration and I wasn't a fan of the poor audio quality in this video. As soon as I receive the microphone set-up that I ordered I will narrate the videos that I have edited and get them up. I plan to keep a regular schedule of at least one video a week from that point. Thank you for your patience and support during the infancy of this channel while I figure this all out.

Such an informative tutorial at a pace which allows you follow as you go along. Like what has already been said there's plenty of tutorials on KZfaq but none that can compare to the steady process and calming narrative. I had to chuckle when you said 'you will not have to follow all the steps as you progress' I will never grasp the concept!! Thank you for an amazing lesson. Keep safe....

when you go down the rabbit hole of construction and rhythm and realize you know nothing about drawing

@rukawa23gold 5 жыл бұрын

Well, keep trying and eventually the rhythm will become real drawing. I didn't start drawing seriously until after 32. And I am still learning the basic of portrait drawing at 42. But those drawing rhythms did become passable drawings for me when I kept going at it. I don't know everything about drawing. And after practicing for a while, I do know a little something about drawing. It's all about efforts and practice.

Great video! You put in a lot of important info that many others have failed to include. Some others are like, draw this circle, then draw this one, but don't explain or include how they are connected, or how you find the correct positioning. But you did and that helps a lot, so thank you! One thing tho, shouldn't the top of the ear aline with the brow line, not the eye line? All the artists I've seen say that and even my own ears are like that on my own head. The tips of my ears aline with my brow line. But everyone is different, and I understand that.

This is really, really good stuff. It explains a lot of things the Loomis method seems to think you should just know.

@KyleHefty 8 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Just keep in mind though, the Loomis method is still very good, it just isn't really the same thing. The Loomis method and the Reilly abstraction are very complimentary to one another. Once you commit the Reilly abstraction to memory what you will actually be drawing most of time will be a lay-in much closer to the Loomis head. You will want to use your knowledge of the Reilly system to lock things in place, and most of this will be done in your head and by "ghosting" over the paper without actually putting down a mark. Think of the Loomis method as a system of basic construction and the Reilly abstraction as more of a mental roadmap :)

@RaiceGeriko 8 жыл бұрын

Right. I guess that's what I was trying to express. I've spent years practicing my drawing and illustration. But the face was something I never had confidence in, because unlike pretty much every other part of the body, it's very complicated with all of the plane shifts. Everything else is basically a cylinder or a box. They aren't that hard to figure out. I would usually accidentally do something right on the face, and I'd be okay with that. But the problem was, I never understood why what I did was right. I just knew it was right. I mean, to someone who didn't know how to draw... it would probably pass as really good. But to people who know what they are doing... they would see that I kind of faked it. I know they would, because I see it, and that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm drawing it without understanding what I am drawing. And, that's always been something that I've struggled with. And no amount of Life drawing or books I read really resolved the matter for me. I learn by seeing. It's not enough to just tell me or for me to read about it. I really have to see it. And, you've shown me how. I just could never pinpoint the anchor points of where the "magic" was supposed to happen to tie it together. And though Loomis gave me a good understanding of the basic layout and what things are supposed to look like, I could never shake the feeling that he was skipping some details. And... I see now that that was the case. This method filled in those blanks for me. I'm confident that with a little practice on this method, I'll be able to sweep through the faces with more confidence and understanding. Thanks for the tutorial. Keep 'em coming!

@KyleHefty 8 жыл бұрын

I happy to have helped. Just keep on practicing the rhythms and you'll be amazed how much more efficient they will make you, even by just having the knowledge in your mind and not actually drawing the lines.
