2024 was the year I decided to learn to draw. I haven't attempted to draw in 20 years and this is my documentation of the process. Follow along with me as I explore techniques, materials, and subject matter.

Why I Started Drawing Portraits With The Loomis Method
มุมมอง 2.2K7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
When I began drawing I found the Loomis Method very helpful. I have specific thoughts about what it is and why I am happy I began learning with it. Have you tried the Loomis Method and do you like it? If not lets discuss why and what problems you have had with it.

Drawing can be a wonderful escape from everyday life. Let's imagine it's late fall and we are tucked away in a cozy cafe, drawing, in Paris! Ahhhh... what a peaceful dream! Watch as I use a Blackwing Matte pencil on toned paper to complete a portrait drawing of a beautiful girl.

Minimal Sketch Setup For A Two Week Vacation
มุมมอง 27หลายเดือนก่อน
I'm going on vacation and taking a minimal setup. I want to keep things to the basics to save on space and weight. I ordered Blackwing Matte Pencils and a Moleskine Art Sketchbook. I am interested in seeing what spending two weeks with limited materials will do for my creative process.

Learning to draw portraits with the Loomis Method
มุมมอง 32หลายเดือนก่อน
It's been 98 months since I began learning to draw. The Loomis Method has been one of the best tools to help me learn to draw portraits. I am using a Mitsubishi 9850 HB pencil on 160g Canson Mixed Media Paper
Graphite Portrait using the Loomis Method
มุมมอง 922 หลายเดือนก่อน
2024 is the year I am learning to draw. The Loomis Method has been one of the best tools to help me learn to draw portraits. Here I am using a simple 0.9mm mechanical pencil with HB lead.
That's really good. I started a few months ago myself. Mostly portraits but started gesture drawings daily.
Thank you. I have been practicing gesture recently as well. I just got the loomis figure drawing book and am going to do some exercises from that as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I think it’s going to be useful to learn and practice.
It’s very useful. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Until you have enough knowledge & experience to develop your own process, use someone else's. & Loomis is a great one to use. For the figure, I would suggest Burne Hogarth's series on Dynamic Drawing. Fabulous resource for the figure in perspective, movement & foreshortening.
I agree. I was looking at the Hogarth book but I went with the Loomis figure drawing book. I assumed there would be a consistency with this head and hands method. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
I hear you. 66 and after 30+ years as a graphic designer trying teach to myself to draw again. Question is where to start? You've simplified it for me, head and hands is a good place to start,
I’m happy to hear you’re drawing again. You won’t regret the time you will spend and the skill you will earn. Thanks for watching. Good luck!
Honestly I wasn't a fan of the Loomis method before. But looking at these drawings, they're beautiful. Pure art. Now I want this book for inspiration!
I understand and I had this book for a year before I really began taking it seriously. The more I studied it the more it became clear what Loomis was trying to teach. Spend some quality time with it and let me know how it works out for you.
That is really enjoyable, keep up the videos. By the way, I love how you hold the pen like a brush, do you paint ?
I don’t paint but I’ve I’ve learned that holding this brush in this way allows me to be more sensitive. I hope to paint in the future when I have more space.
Bro I just fell on your video and it is extremely enjoyable. The loomis method is really what I was looking for, I'll definitely buy this book.
I’m happy it’s interesting for you. I wish you a lot of luck. Thanks for checking out my videos!
I like the loomis method of drawing. The economic style, great use of charcoal.
I agree. I believe economy is its essence although it can be carried further into great detail. Thanks for watching!
Switching to the pen definitely looked like a game changer for you. So cool to see your style evolve throughout this sketchbook
I felt the same way. This sketchbook taught me so much. Can’t wait to post the next. Thanks for watching!
Looks great Justin!! Thanks for sharing. The frame rate makes your movement look like stop motion it’s cool. Keep it up, excited to see your next notebook
Thanks for watching and letting me know about the frame rate. I think I would rather have smooth motion. I’m new to video and didn’t realize.
Great work! I have yet to finish a sketchbook..... so proud of you for sharing your work with us!
Thanks so much. It felt like an accomplishment. I look forward to sharing more!
While smudging with your finger to shade is frowned upon by art teachers, I think it helps you engage with your art more. It doesnt limit you to the pencil. Although my art teacher told me it doesnt help you improve:/ For a first sketchbook I'd say it's beautiful, keep up the great work!
Thanks for commenting. I’ve also heard not to use fingers. I’m sure that’s proper technique. Some of my favorite artists use smudge sticks with graphite and I don’t have one, so I used the next best thing.
*Blackwing pencils are the best*
I’m really loving them!
Good friend🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice
Thanks for watching!
