Hello Everyone, here is my work for the Loomis head section of the course. The first one I used the 3D model as reference, the second one is from imagination with the same angles as the first one, and then finally the third one is from references I found online. Please feel free to give critiques regarding my understanding of the Loomis method, any critiques is appreciated. Thank you

One thing that's really starting to annoy me is how there's almost nothing discussing the shape of the ellipses/ovals that form the heads side planes, which is the part of the Loomis Method that I feel I'm having the most trouble with....
Whether it's here, or anywhere else on the internet, I can never find anything beyond: "we slice off the sides of sphere"

What method is this fella using to construct the eyes and nose?

the Loomis method looks so much like a crash test dummy.

Thanks for this, Stan. It's been nearly 40 years since I've picked up a pencil to draw. So having a good visual guide like this is most helpful.

I've noticed that my 3/4 views are admissible. It's the front and side views I really need to work on.

Practicing some head construction based on samples from the Andrew Loomis book "Drawing Heads and Hands". Does anyone else have this book or others by Loomis?

The ongoing attempts to use Loomis to understand portraits. Clearly more practice using extreme angles needed. It’s only doing those that you really challenge your assumptions about translating what you see into forms on paper.

Hi Stan, it looks like the video for this lesson isn't working? I'd like to learn more about the loomis method but the video isn't loading at all for me and my Internet connection is just fine. Can you possibly look into this issue? Thank you.
