#loomis method

Third portrait trying to learn the Loomis method! ^-^

I can't really get the hang of how to follow the facial guidelines without the outer circle ending up too big, if that makes sense, but I'll keep trying!!

people… the loomis method is straight up goldmine

I’ve been on a hiatus for a while even though I don’t really have fans to care about that kind of thing which is freeing in its own way right?

But I have been learning about the Loomis Method and trying to flex those semi-realism muscles to help my art improve and branch out. So here’s Ginyu from the Ginyu Force in my style, enjoy!

Isn’t he just so handsome?

♥️ Art resources ♥️

Hey I put together a beginner art resource list! Feel free to share, save, etc. but a lot of people don’t know where to start:

Man is this a holy grail it includes free programs, online courses, tutorials, and scholarships (us based):

A big thing you are taught early on is just hand/eye coordination. Speed drawing, or “gesture drawing” if you’re fancy, is the best practice you can do on a regular basis.As much as you hate hearing “just practice”- it matters.

The best online art course I can think of. It will literally go step by step in teaching you commands and digital painting:

YouTube anatomy holy grail:

The Loomis method for the construction of the head is very popular because it is easy to learn and remember and can be applied to any drawing of the head.

Loomis also has many published books under his name. I’m not saying you can get free books here but if you could well. Careful of fake links with this site, if you don’t see the single login.re it’s the wrong one.

If loomis method books aren’t your style and you are more of a video person try this (this is the first on a short series):

If you know me I’m barely cracking the surface with digital art but I’m actually trained in professional forensic art and hyper realistic portraits , so here is info on traditional art by media.

Little proof of some training, but if you like this, this is woodless graphite pencils on vellum- just a slightly better quality than a pencil and paper :)

Finally here are some amazing pose references. Adorkastock had moved from Pinterest and is working on their own website so check them out here:

Taco is single handed my my go to for simplified anatomy and it goes my section of the body (people have made Pinterest copies that is separated by parts of the body) but I highly recommend buying it if you’re able!

I hope that this helps at least someone find a resource they needed or wanted! Feel free to dm me or repost with comments or more resources!

Let's draw, Papa Four!

Here's a sketch I did, broken down into three stages using the 'Loomis' and 'Reilly' methods of head construction. These methods really help with understanding the proportions, structure and planes of the head.

Hi guys! I've been taking a break from EVERYTHING because I'm trying to relearn art with Andrew Loomis' style and tips!! All of this is taken from Andrew Loomis' book 'Drawing the Heads and Hands'

Unfortunately this does mean pausing from my list of plans that I had, but that just means when I finally resume digital art I can come even STRONGER and HARDER (hopefully lol).

All of this is REALLY inspiring me to make Tom Riddle, like he would fit for all of those first few pages, so maybe after this I'll draw some harry Potter who knows.

Stay tuned, or don't idk lol

Look at my little guy. I've been using this papercraft for shading/perspective/proportion reference for the past few months. This was the best(cheapest) physical alternative I found to the famous asaro head model. The pattern is free by the user Rynenko on this Reddit post.

(Mine looks like it's covered in piss because I ended up using dirt varnish, full of wood dust, on top of it. I'm a dumbass)

sketching for the first time in forever ✨

Portrait number six! And my first 3/4 attempt using the Loomis method

I'm very happy with the outcome! It's far from perfect, but I had a lot of fun making it ^-^

I haven't drawn horns in a while! I used to do it a lot, and now I'm unsure of why I stopped bahahaha, It's so much fun :D

Breaking News: I should've listened to my art professor and studied those damn Loomis heads

Date cancellation = night in with The Sandman and Loomis practice 🖤 @neil-gaiman your work forever inspires x

My first ever simple and quite tiny pencil drawing done with the Loomis method 😁 How do you fund it, guys? I wonder... Did I catch his likeness with it?
