added comment inLoomis Method Front View – Real-Time Demo
I'm confused. Draw a circle.Mark the sixths. Got it. Then draw a vertical curved line along one side. How does one know how much of a bend should be in the curve? In other words, how for in from the original circle? Is there a measurement to use for right to left as there is in top to bottom?
That first vertical line creates an oval with the side of the circle. But then, you divide that oval??? In half? No mention is made of that second line bisecting the first oval. I'm missing something here.

Hey @blacksmith What you're seeing there is the oval of the side of the head, but the head is not perfectly flat on the sides. The back of the cranium is wider than the front of the brow, so when you chop off the sides of the sphere you're actually seeing it widen toward the back of the skull, so the side plane becomes an ellipse. Take a look at the 3D Loomis head from above and you'll see how the side planes angle toward the front of the face. As for how far in from the original circle, it depends, everyone has different proportions, sometimes you'll have someone with a very wide cranium, and very narrow brow, so you'll see more of that side plane from the front. Hope this helps!
