@deadnthehead4557 Месяц назад

So far, I have the basic block in for 3/4, up to adding the facial features. For some reason, I get caught up on the nose, and after that, it goes south. Also, I can draw the eyes and mouth individually, but when it comes to filling the block in, idk things just seem to get messy.

@Mskimberley81 Год назад

Not going to lie, I was drawing along with you, and didn't realise that you'd be going from one example to the next so hastily; and so... I'm going to keep going back and practicing. I'm not super confident (yet)

@MesserCreations Год назад

Don't worry Kimberley, speed will come. The technique is more important. I hope the video is helping you :)

@Mskimberley81 Год назад

@@MesserCreations Thank you so much! You've really made drawing a loomis head so accessible - I just felt a bit lost in this video, and I can tell you that first reference.. mine is a bit scary. If there is a part 2 (or continuation to finish off each reference) I'd love to see that video :)

@MesserCreations Год назад

Absolutely, hmm sorry you felt a bit lost. There are a lot of steps in drawing a portrait. I like your idea for a continuation video to these references. I will see what I can do as far as coming out with follow up vids. I would say if you still feel uncomfortable when drawing the first reference just draw it again, and again, and then again. I know it sounds kind of silly but if you do that you will build up muscle memory and you will develop your eye for the planes of the face. Don't get discouraged, drawing should be fun and enjoyable. Like a party that you don't want to leave :) Put on some 432 hertz music on repeat and draw that first reference until you can do it with ease. Try that and let me know how it goes. Take care Kimberley, never stop drawing.

@@MesserCreations yes! I've been working on some 11x14 charcoal portraits that a local Italian Restaurant here in town wants me set up my own display on the main dining area wall! Busy busy!👍

@MesserCreations Год назад

That's awesome. How many pieces are you making for that?

@dr.lakshmisruthi3392 Месяц назад

Great video. Thank you! Can u suggest me how to section face in 3 parts when the reference image has unequal proportions of face..

@akashsunil7464 6 месяцев назад

dawg my last one looked a bit different compared to yours i had my face kind of facing forwards and sideways both compared to yours i think I will just have to practice more dude btw u are a great teacher i swear to god if it wasn't for you I wouldn't even have started

@MesserCreations 6 месяцев назад

That's it man, just practice and you will only get better. I'm glad you found the channel and that it is helping you. Keep going :)

@simmymac4066 9 месяцев назад

Braeden, I started drawing this portrait with you but as soon as you drew the oval I got lost! I can look at the photo and copy it quite well but for some reason the angles of the Loomis head just don’t wrap around my head. Been following you for a number of years!!!!!

@MesserCreations 9 месяцев назад

You don't have to use the Loomis method if you don't want to. It is not for everyone, as some artists do not need the kind of structure that the Loomis method provides. Play to YOUR strengths and you will never go wrong :)

@ChrisPBacon1434 11 месяцев назад

Thanks brotha i noticed ive been struggling with the jawlines and placing the features on the face. I even bought the loomis book on the head and hands because i know theyre my weak point. My overall goal is to be able to draw figure drawings with detailed heads so i can draw recognizable people in a scene.

@MesserCreations 11 месяцев назад

You are so welcome 🙏🏻 I’m glad the videos are helping you with your drawings.
