Great stuff, hopefully those don't have the distracting music.
It's been 10 years since I saw this video. I know I'm just some random comment that will be lost in the huge sea of comments you get in your already big channel. I remembered that time this channel only had around 300k subscribers, but I just wanted to thank you for this video because this was the very video that kickstarted the pursuit of my career in art. 10 years ago I was working in the banking industry and I really hated it. And then one day an artist friend of mine (I also would like to thank him as well, he knows who he is) recommended this video, and for the first time, I actually gained some knowledge on how to draw a head properly. Ever since then I kept practicing, drew almost every day, and joined some workshops. Now I am working as a Gaming Artist reaching my first year in the industry by next week. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for changing my life for the better and helping me pursue my passion.
Wow I love this, true story that your dreams can come true if you work hard for them! To know this, that it is possible, is very important for people like me that is still "on the way" to achieve something, thank you so much for sharing
Congrats to you!
This video has helped me tremendously as well
Oh what an inspiring story! I'm currently studying a accounting major, and it's boring as hell. I have always loved art and spent most of my free time just drawing lol. I hope i can be like you. Thanks for sharing
"And practice this a 100 times with various angles" - IS THE KEY TO THIS MAGIC.
Life is an RPG
*Get grinding my guy*
@@jennytulls6369 ya bro kind of shit game too grindy . Art level still 0.01 on my character
No, you just ram the point into the paper and scratch it like you were holding an itch into your balls.
Here's the result.

@@jennytulls6369 sucks that it's also pay to win :(
WHAT IF I DO IT 100 TIMES BUT WRONG. BOOM I LEARNED TO DO IT WRONG.
I like your teaching style. Seeing the human then lines and movement and how it changes with position. It’s extremely well done.thx so much
Yeah I'm struggling at oval placement with other views
Proko is hands down the best art tutorial TH-camr
practiced this 100 times, just like he instructed, now I am only terrible, instead of absolutely miserable. UPGRADE COMPLETE!
Try a thousand times.
Hahahahaha
Haha!
Did you just practice the 3/4 view 100 times, or different angles?
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
the part at 3:30 reminded me of those tutorials that are like:
1. Draw a circle
2. Add details
3.done
This couldn't possibly be every Tumblr, DeviantArt and Pinterest Tutorial ever oml
+Umbriel Umbra i was scared
Like Spongebob did.
or that one owl picture, Step one draw circles, Step 2 draw the rest of the fucking owl
lol he drew a perfect face erased the details.. and it was a circle xD
2:51 I'm so mad.. I never broke faces into 3rds before and I just tried it and it looks so much better.. Wish I knew this literally 5 years ago 😂
Tip: don’t think about the lines you draw as outlines, think of them as very small focused shadows.
Great tip, my art teacher told us that lines don't exist in nature. With the exception of print (stripes on a shirt, spots on a leopard, etc) you can draw anything with just shading.
I've been trying to figure out how to word this for so long. Thank you
@@CouncilOfTheLostGoats Never thought of that!
Nice, thanks.
One of the best things about Stan is how he's grown out of his shyness, seeing him in the podcast and later videos compared to his early ones are almost polar opposites. I am very glad to see him show himself closer to his true goofy self. Thank you Stan for giving us a great online resource through the years.
I love his lips video. He's definitely one of a kind and his material has a great tendency to stick with you!
Agreed!
"Draw a circle"
"Draw some more simple guidelines"
"Now add some small details"
*draws the entire face*
Dream Pop same xD the temptation is real
I can relate so much to this comment
hhh
The video was called "how to draw the head", not "how to draw the face". That's the next step.

Just discovered Proko and never has an artist broken down aspects of drawing as well as he has for me. It’s phenomenal
It’s been months since I first watched this, and I am so much better at drawing heads now, not that I’m great, but progress 👍
how is it now?
I implemented your techniques. Oh my god!
Leaps and bounds better in just a couple hours of practice!
Been drawing since I was 5 years old and I'm 31. I feel like I have progressed more after your video than my entire life!
Thank you @proko
That's why the "I have drawn my entire life" argument has no value. You could have been drawing wrong your entire life and someone who correctly trained for a year can get leagues ahead of you.
@@solonyetski agreeed
@@solonyetski Yes and no,art is subjective,someone who is technically sound might not be as creative as someone who is not as "talented" or "skilled"
@@scottlondon8382 technically sound is skill and art can be objective if he knows the basics he's good if he doesn't he's bad you can tell apart good and bad art did he use perspective? is the colour theory done well? does he use thicker lines for closer objects and thinner ones for objects that are further away? are the proportions correct? etc knowledge makes your art way better
@just some guy tired of life congrats on starting so young!
"Draw some circles."
"Draw the rest of the fucking owl."
I’m just here trying to learn how to draw the basics of faces and I can already feel that your going to become the person that I tell everyone how i learned to draw.
Your course is great and makes so much sense. I read the Lumis book but some concepts have eluded me and you put them in place! Thank you.
Clear, good examples, repeating info & not too long so that it sticks with you. In one word excellent, sir! Thank you!
Maarten S Thank you very much for the Feedback! We're working hard daily to make sure we're putting out the best possible content for everybody to enjoy :)
filling in the details actually helped because I am good at copying, so, I was able to copy the entire face and get a feel of how me drawing it would be.
mine transformed into handsome squidward
Mine too :D
Mine always does
Good
So did mine!!!! How funny
Omg😂😂😂
Thank you so much! This video helped me regain my confidence in my drawing skills! I've been having a hard time getting proportions right and this video helped so much!
Bless your drawing skills and art knowledge! This video has changed my life. I have only ever been able to draw decently from reference and wanted to learn this technique so I wouldn't always be dependent upon references. I've been trying to learn Loomis' method from that very book, or a later edition of it, FOR MONTHS and kept feeling I was missing a step, because everything would look okay from one angle, but they got wonky when I tilted or turned the head. It's been excruciating. Something did not compute and upon seeing this video, I see what was missing. The dimensions of the oval on the side were NEVER given. No wonder I couldn't get things to look quite right. THANK YOU and love to you!
I actually majored in art history and we NEVER covered basic planes of the face in drawing 101 and 102. Granted, it wasn't ART school - but my point IS, fundamentals like these should be part of the core of drawing 101. Planes are the foundation! Thank for breaking Loomis's method down into something simple enough to grasp right off the bat. I just became a subscriber and look forward to future vids. THANK YOU!
I have two degrees in art, BFA and Master's...planes were touched upon but that's it.
I don't get how you have that much trouble with a circle, it's easy, all you have to do is draw a head and erase the details.
🤣 🤣 🤣
Is this a Spongebob reference?
you are the one that i was lookin for well done
That was awesome once I got it.
Spongee boob
I have to say, your tutorial is the best one till now, I had a hard time to assimilate the technicalities from other videos, I simply wasn't able to absorb the information, to learn it. With your step-by-step explanation I finally got it. Thank you🙏
Bro, thank you so much for this tutorial. I was literally struggling to find the guidelines on how to create the oval accurately and I tried to find out how to determine where the lines point to. Much appreciated!
Good sense of humour injected into the lesson makes it fun to learn.Well made and very informative.
in 5 minutes I learned what I couldnt learn in 5 years of art high school
I'd ask for my money back. Sometimes schools/teachers dont really want to show thier secrets.
Same
Es verdad xD
A mí toda la vida perspectiva de una casa jajajaja
I started my first year in uni and already regretted my decision going to uni, it's so pointless if you are studying art
why is that Mel? all abstract?
Thank you so much for the great illustration- I never understood what the small circle was for- now everything make sense- thank you for generously sharing your know how!
AAA this was soo helpful! I might be switching to art in school next year and got a bit anxious about my drawing skills. I decided to practice more often and this helped me so much with drawing heads. You explained it so well and woah it gave me such a big confidence boost! :)
First problem:
*I can‘t draw a circle like a circle*
Trace a coke bottle or something. Everybody have something circular of decent size laying around. Or just learn to draw a circle :)!
Practice will always make it better. ❣
Well then stop trying to draw a perfect head and start drawing monsters instead

If you haven't leant by now I'd suggest this technique, it works for me👌🏻 (I'd skip the first 2 mins of the video)
@@DelbertStinkfester Erm, can you not? lol
I am an artist too, i was now watching your video and was amazed. To all artists out there lets train to our full potential. And later in the future we can teach many more to come
Hey , take a look at this draw th-cam.com/video/fm3ARcBTtow/w-d-xo.html&feature=share maybe you like it and subscribe
For the past few years I've been saying, "I wish I'd seen this 30 years ago" about youtube piano tutorials. Now I'm saying it about this one on drawing faces. I spent three hours last night practicing this technique again and again and it's paying off.
Quiero agradecer de todo corazón a quien tradujo los tutoriales, muchísimas gracias, así puedo entender todo🥰♥️🥰
Y obviamente a Proko que enseña de forma magistral, muchísimas gracias por los tutoriales, quizás nunca lea mis mensajes, yo que mas quisiera poder pagar sus cursos, pero son muy caros para mi, así que veo los tutoriales acá en TH-cam, espero poder encontrar trabajo como ilustradora pronto, y así poder inscribirme en sus cursos, muchas gracias por los tutoriales de TH-cam, quienes somos autodidactas a la fuerza le agradecemos de corazón ♥️🥰♥️🥰
one of the best sources on the net to get art knowledge..and it just keeps coming..yay!
Yeah.
Proko is da best! period. Im also found this useful tutorial who was helping me a lot bit.ly/2HhkJsJ
Why does every face I draw looks like Nicolas Cage?
LMAO
You must be gifted with his blessing.
O' Haev actually I realised if you measure it, his eyes arent in the middle of his head like normal people lol, found out whats the problem now, after drawing 120 Nicolas Cages >D
😂😂😂
LOOOOL I love you
I actually improved sooo much! Of all the countless videos I watched this was the best and I have no idea how else to say it.
1 year into my drawing journey and revisiting some of the core videos that helped me shape my current style. Hopfully this year I make an equal amount of progress. Keep killin it all you lol artist people!
It's rare for me to comment on a video, but I feel like I have to say this.
Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this! In just a few sketches using this technique, I feel like I'm already doing so much better than using the technique a friend showed me. I thought I was a bad artist despite doing my best to improve, but it turns out it's just my friend's way of drawing that isn't right for me... Now I finally feel like I'm starting to understand anatomy properly instead of just drawing sets of lines that never turned out right.
I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos and being able to learn even more from you!
I love the whole video
Shared these with a friend. He's gone on to purchase your anatomy course. Good teachers are hard to find, great ones even less so. And you sir, are definitely one of the greats.
I didn’t really pay attention to these in class. I needed this Thank You!
Thank you for this tutorial. I've been searching for head drawing tutorials all over the internet but couldn't find one simple but detailed enough. You made it really clear and informative. The real life example was extremely helpful!
*proceeds to draw a circle* *fails* , *gives up* , *cries in a corner*
+Jashan Friedlaender The way I laughed when I read this... This was me too!
+Cocobutt
+Cocobutt
+Jashan Friedlaender lol me too ;) I guess we need to keep on trying many many times to get a circle correct. Some do it at 1st (independant on their age) and some (us) don't
Just trace a circle xD
super helpful! you explain everything so well!
This tutorial video is amazing, loving it! Thanks for sharing 😍❤️👍🏻
Proko! I can't begin to explain how grateful I am you explained this in a step by step manner. I purchased bridgmans life drawing books and soon ill be getting the loomis books. I found your channel after I watched a video of you interviewing people at comic con.
Very cool stuff, I have been much more confident in my drawing exercises lately thanks to your videos and peter hans warm ups
I went to art school, but stopped all painting and drawing over 5 years ago. I decided I wanted to illustrate a story and realized - crap, I need to re-teach myself and practice drawing. My husband is an airbrush artist and we talk about drawing is like music. You can go at it relying on what you see (hear) or you can use techniques to help you see better and/or create a face from your head. Then like music it's practice, practice, practice. As a painting teacher of mine used to say talent is only 30%, the rest is discipline. So, thanks for the refresher.
You explained it perfectly.
For some reason i read twice that your husband is an airbrush. I was quite surprised.
One of the best tutorials I ever seen! You nailed it!
I've been struggling with finding a good tip and this oval in the circle thing really helped me out
I enjoyed this good and succinct overview of sketching a head at an angle. I especially liked the idea of showing the reference lines moving along with the head.
I've been drawing portraits for forever now and still learned something new. My old method is similar, but this looks a bit more efficient.
Awesome, what a useful tutorial, thank you!
Wow... so very well explained! ... Perfect!
Most entertaining lesson in arts I have seen yet, good sir. Bravo!
I really like your art lessons! Thanks and more power to you!
Thanks a lot, I can't believe I've been trying to draw faces without doing something like this first.... this makes it so much better and easier
Thanks! This is a much more simple and effective method of roughing out the head than I've been using. Love your channel, man. Please do more
Short, simple and useful! Helped me to get right proportions for my drawing, thank you ☺️
You're a great teacher! Thanks for the videos 💜
Thank you ever so much for this wonderful tutorial
This is the very best of the drawing tutorials I've ever seen on youtube, thank you so much!
I decided I like your channel so much I am going to learn to draw from your tutorials in order! Wish me luck!
Thank you for this clear video!
It's an perfect tutorial thank you for thisss Mr.proko...
This is the most helpful tutorial I've watched. Thank you so much!
I like your drawing is so helpful good boy
THANKS! Just picked up a set of pencils and allready sketching like crazy thanks to YOU !!
Amazing way for teaching👏👏thank you
It's incredible how you make short videos with so much relevant content! One of my favorite channels, for sure! :)

Roten
Damn your tutorials are the best!
When you started to draw the face, I did what you did and the outcome is AWESOME!!
"you might struggle with the circle"
me: *laughs in ibis paint ruler*
Lmfao why is this so true
😂 so me
😂
Laughs in (high def) procreate shape assist.
Me who draws traditionally: pathetic
"Draw 100 of these"
I've drawn 52 so far and I tell you I can draw pretty damn good circles now. The putting it together perfectly is still a bit wonky with the occasional *amazing* one, but can already feel an improvement. :) Will stick at it.
Definitely you are one of the best art teacher!
Wow! You sir, are a legend. Probably the best instruction I've seen so far on drawing heads.
djtrin Thank you for the kind words! Check out my other video drawing tutorials. I have portrait drawing, figure drawing, and am currently in the middle of human anatomy.
This helped so much. It changed my perspective for art. Thank you so much. Keep it going bro.
I really needed this, thank you very much!
I can barely believe how much information is condensed in this video. Takes a true pro. Thank you for the upload.
Отличные уроки, очень много полезной информации Great tutorials!
Merci beaucoup Proko ! Génial !
I watched t2018 vid of the loomis method you made just now. Both tutorilals helped! Thbakyou
this was PERFECT for me! :'D im so happy for this video
Very helpful!!
Thanks for explaining very much!
The best vídeo to understand and draw by the Loomis method 👏🏻
You are the best man! Thank you so much!!!
***** Thanks for checking out my stuff!
+Proko I love you'r drowaing👍♡♡♡
+Proko love it teach more pls
😍
+AL.ASOWAD HEBOo You did that face perfectly
Woah seeing Proko from more than 10 years ago feels different, he's so young
Looks at myself in the mirror and cries*
I'm so used to your "dad face" that it feels like seeing a different person in your old videos. It makes me feel old, too. I get the feeling 🥹
Also, I didn't expect to get a reply from you, especially from an old video. What a legend!
This is very helpful. Thank you !
This is the best most informative video I've found on this subject!! thanks!
I haven't even looked at my sketchbook and I already feel like my drawing has improved
Do you know what you did for me, man? U saved me
Wow, thanks so much! So informative
your art tutorials are so good, it would be so sick to have you as a teacher!
I was panicking on my head. I'm not good. So I searched it up. And now I learned. Nice.
Idk if you'll see this, but thank you 😉👍🖍️
I was cracking up the whole time from how awkward Stan looks posing and trying to hold still. Great content and great fun :P
THIS IS SO HELP FULL THANK YOU!!!
Amazing tips! Thank you so much.
please say you gonna put out some books at some point , this stuff is too good.
Good job I like to draw like everybody else here
Excellent tutorial thanks
this was very helpful. thanks mate!
Gracias Proko, burn tutorial. No entiendo mucho el idioma, pero si el lenguaje del lapiz a traves de tus trazos...Saludos y quedo suscrita a tu canal.
Inspir Arte voy a intentar ponerle subtítulos.
If i only whatched this in 3 years ago life would've been easy for me lol
Do what about right now??
True but I'm glad I'm watching this and improving like hell
@@kayaeki how much have you been practicing, if I may ask? Do you just draw the 3/4 view head over and over, or different angles? I'm having a really hard time trying to draw Loomis heads for different angles because I can never quite get them right. it's hard for me to draw the up or down tilt and stuff
@@user-tc3jo1eb8e Actually right now whenever I draw heads I start with Loomis method. I just opened Pinterest and drew many heads for a few weeks. Once you do that it just ingrained in your brain. If that makes sense haha. Keep drawing ❤️
