- Perhaps you've seen tutorials on the Loomis Head. If you've got a wrap on that, then get ready to level up with the Asaro Head! In this head tutorial, we'll go over the importance of understanding the planes of the face, how it affects lighting, and why it's still important for stylized work like anime! Yes, believe it or not, it's true!
The Loomis Method is a simplified version great for getting down a quick lay-in, but the Asaro head will tell us all the information we know to make believable and detailed heads that more closely resemble true anatomy.
Follow along in this tutorial to learn how to draw better heads!

ABOUT ME:
I began learning how to draw in February, 2019. I was inspired by Into the Spider-Verse and told myself, "I want to be able to make something like that one day". SO I decided to pick up a pencil and start learning.
I've spent every day since scouring the internet for the best tutorials and lessons to help teach me how to be an artist.
But I don't have all day - I want to figure this out! I've structured my practice and learning in a way that has gotten me to figure out the fundamentals in 2 years - and I hope to have even less until working professionally.
Because of this, I sought out to make myself a curriculum that would train me effectively.
I called it "The Curriculum for the Solo Artist". It got popular on Reddit: / from_the_guy_who_made_...
Proko even talked about it on the Drafstmen podcast (time-stamped)!
• DIY Art School Part 2 ...
Since then, I've been working hard to improve. I take pride in learning, helping others, and pursuing creativity.
If you want to talk more with me, I'm on Discord all of the time.

The Vilppu head’s coming for that Asaro next. images.app.goo.gl/hFCPmi8UU8iYPRa19
@@AlexHuneycutt awesome! Loomis had some takes that the body positivity movement might call... problematic
@@ModernDayJames With all due respect, that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard said about a legendary artist. his books are literally decades old, they can't be put up to current society's "standards", that's just silly. But none of his content was ever considered controversial or mean spirited. I have read all of his books and studied his lessons extensively for close to 20 years. I have to admit I'm not sure what you're even referencing, but having watched your videos in the past as well, I would have assumed you were intelligent enough to understand that just because certain things are "problematic" as you put it today, that doesn't make it historically so.
@@ninja_tony he never said he himself had a problem with it but the 'body positvity movement'. it was in a comedic manner too.
@@ninja_tony its a joke bro
watching this video was something i never knew i needed til now
A mix of both Loomis and Asaro will provide good foundation for drawing heads. I often go back to the foundations a lot, and since I'm currently in school learning digital art I feel I've improved when studying the two heads.
Loomis covers these exact face planes extensively in the book Drawing the Head and Hands
god tier info OMG you’re a really great teacher on these TH-cam streets the difference between a teacher and a influencer is the ability to articulate your thoughts in simple terms so others can understand and your voice is so soft spoken and easy on the ear. Keep it up you’re going places.
Can't thank you enough for the kind words! I'm glad that it's even a little bit useful. Thank you for letting me know, it's encouraging and helps provide reason to keep going
I think this is the best Tutorial about Asaro Head.Very underrated.Thank you.
Alex. Thank you. Everyone of these videos are everything I’ve been looking for. I feel like every other video tutorial tells everything about the topics I want to learn except for the specific detail I actually need help with.
I’ll share you with my drawing group.
awesome work! I am glad you showd some good examples in different perspectives.
I am in the same position. I have mastered loomis but I am aware it is just the beginning of my journey, if I want to draw more realistic faces.
Man, Alex. You have great way of delivering knowledge 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 So glad I found your channel.
Super happy to have you along! Thank you for letting me know. I know there haven't been a ton of tutorial-style videos lately but I'll be getting back to them eventually
I really love this approach to practice the Asaro and Loomis head. Many thanks!
Ive just wasted life watching a couple of vids on shading the planes of the fave before i watched this one. So simple! So straightforward. Now i know where to start. Thankyou!!
Great info, I was a bit confused on the Asaro head and looked it up. Your video was the first that popped up. I'll be subscribing now :)
This video feels like a breath of fresh air. It's a delight to learn from someone who knows their shit. I don't understand why you're not at 500k, the world needs to knowwww. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the making this comprehensive video… so precise
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing
Seeing your Videos here and your Drawing Curriculum on Gumroad i'm blown away by the Quality you manage to hold. Extremely cool Channel. Thanks for your Work!
Awesome video, I loved that you showed how the Asaro head applies to more stylized work
Glad it was helpful! I hope to keep showing ways that it applies like that - sometimes it's difficult to know "why" we learn this stuff but of course it's super useful to know.
Thank you so much. I needed someone to explain to me like this. I understand now, just gotta practice on top of my Loomis method.
You got this!
i wanted to draw the asaro head just to FORCE my brain to learn the planes of the head as someone who's learning art themselves. so i googled just that. Your video was the one that popped up big and front, and i'm so glad it did!! cause your is so underrated! already went through a lot of your videos and i don't feel like i need to force myself anymore lmao.
really hope you get the recognition for these clean and simple tutorials >.
Very useful, thank you :) been trying to look into asaro. Loomis definitely feels easier, but your exampl of Asaro being a sort of level up made it make sense. Like moving up a grade in school. I felt like I wasn’t ready to give upon the Loomis method, but Asaro was intriguing, so your idea to combine them until I’m used to seeing where shadows goes seems like a great idea. Thanks again :)
This video is so good and valuable! thank you
Just found you at random on here but I reference your solo curriculum often. Nice. Thanks for putting that together!
Here is a link to Sketchfab, the website I used in the beginning to rotate a 3d model of the Asaro Head: sketchfab.com/search?q=asaro+head&sort_by=-relevance&type=models
Very useful! There are other kinds of models on there available for free viewing, too. Highly recommended, great practice tool.
ive been finding that reilly rhythms are a good way to learn the asaro head. theyre easier to remember and they line up with the asaro head quite well
Thank you for the succinct valuable tutorial.
And you went so far after starting in Feb 2019!
May the rich and powerful invest in your sketches and paintings ...
How have I never seen your videos before??? You’re so underrated 😭
Not only do you teach how to draw the asaro head, you’re telling us to start more simply and then build up to drawing more planes of the face. You help us start by using the loomis head, which we already know. I also love how you take time to explain how important it is to know how to draw the asaro head and to learn the proper structure of the human anatomy. Even if you don’t want to draw realistically, you can learn a lot from this video!
Thank you!!! 🛐
That is one good tutorial! Going to try it now:)
Thank you this is so helpful ♥️
Thanks for insane informations bro. I subbed you, you deserves it.
Thanks! I appreciate it :)
Right now I'm building out an Environmemt sketching course intended for beginners, but afterwards will return to more stuff like this too
Awesome video bro👌
such a helpful video, thanks! ^-^
great video Alex, keep it up!
Thank you, I'll do my best!
I thought I was watching a huge channel only 2.13K subs youre criminaly underated!!
Love this , 💯
thank you for this very useful video!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Thank you!
thanks mate, helped a alot.
Thank you.
This is amazing
Glad you think so, happy to help!
Thank you :)
Hold on why do you still have 920 subscribers as I write this comment you deserve more than that!
great vedio i would love to see step by step the front view and three quater view , and how the figure is done step by step thank you
You should do this with Castlevania their style reminds me of the Asaro head. Because of the way they draw the characters head.
the hardest part for me is not rushing through the 30 studies :)
The eye on the "simple side" is meant to be a closed eye, as artists must also learn how to draw faces with closed eyes. Asaro presents the planes of a closed eye to make clear a closed eye is not just a simple slit in a flat plane. Also, while it's nice to refer to images of the Asaro head online, I recommend that aspiring artists actually buy the physical Asaro head, a three dimensional plastic head one can place on one's table and light from different angles, etc.
Whenever I try and do this, I'm just never convinced that it looks feasible
Gold😍
Aside from practice, how do you make those crisp lines in your sketches? Any advice would be much appreciated. Cheers
I like to use GoldenEye N64 for my low poly head references. With DK Mode ON!

Thanks.
Welcome!
hi, really love your informative video, is much more direct towards exercise and training. I wonder if I'm going for kinda semi realism art how many value range do I need?... I mean I got confused when I try to arrange them, this one for direct light, highlight, reflect light, this one for shadow, core shadow, then ambient light. etc ... And Is that if I go more toward realism, the more value range I need to add in order to make things closed to real object? Thank you.
Hello! You can use as wide a value range as you want. If you're thinking something like cartoon or anime, shadows are often just one value. But the more value you range you add, the more realistic the rendering becomes. However, the thing to catch here is that it does not mean your drawing has to be realistic subject matter. You can draw an anime face, or a cartoon, and still render it realistically with light, highlights, reflected light, etc. You can see this in Pixar movies, where the figures are not close to real life but still have amazing light details.
To render more realistically, you will need to include those aspects of rendering (ambient occlusion and all the others).
In the future I will do a tutorial on my process for rendering in greater detail, this video was more of an overview.
@@AlexHuneycutt Thank you so much!! I can't wait. Wish your channel the best!
From what film is that girl face among your favourite films?

How will Loomis ever recover?!
In the 1900s lol it makes it sound so ancient.

Its sun ken rock tho
The REAL question is... How to get better heads?
The two sides aren't simple and advanced. One is a younger head and the other side is an elderly head. They eye on the left is closed and the eye on the right is open.
I think this head is over famed. Look its nose, its totally wrong.
No. Just no. The Loomis method is not the only method to learning how to draw faces, and perhaps not the best either, but it's at least a valid one that is reliable and founded on anatomical accuracy. The asaro head is a complete joke that should have never gained this weird popularity it seems to suddenly be attracting. The asaro head is fundamentally inaccurate in multiple areas, and will teach inexperienced artists to draw planes that don't even exist on the human head. It could possibly be useful to more experienced artists, but then, they wouldn't need it in the first place.
