If you would like feed back on your portraits, you can upload your work along side your reference image on IG with the hashtag #jinartss with a double S and i will be checking it approximately 3 months from the month this video is published, Or you can just comment the words "BUG EYEs" here, and don't forget the Portrait Drawing Guide in the description~!! XD
I have fallen in love with the loomis method, but I'm also into tweaking it to fit my vibe. This video was great because it showed another method. The BEST part for me was the part about the inner eyes! Such a good tip. BIG Thanks
I was also so fed up with the loomis method I jus didn't knew where to draw the second circle & my drawing looked un proportional U have earn my subb Sir
Thanks for the sub buddy, maybe you try to find harmony in using the merits of both the methods, as art is always evolving, it's best to find the methods that work best for you~!!
The Loomis method is fine. The issue is that people are skipping a step that isn't really talked about - anatomical studies. Loomis was constantly drawing from live models. He deeply understood anatomy. His method is supposed to be guidelines, hence the vagueness, because he already knew where the planes of the face went. So when people copy his method without first studying the human skull, facial muscles, and general features, they're bound to hit a road block because they were only imitating without proper underlying understanding. The best method of facial construction that I've found was to get a photo of the skull, face muscles, and a portrait (preferably of the same person, definitely of the same angle,) and then draw over them any shapes, lines, or patterns I noticed for myself (without following any guides.) Once I had my own form, I looked at other guides to see how others broke down the form and see if they noticed anything that I didn't. I then tested them all out, finding which ones I found most comfortable to work with and took whatever I liked from them to add to my own form. Guides are simplification. One should understand what they're simplifying. Basically, it's better to first develop your own understanding and break down of the human figure and anatomy.
well, all i can say is good luck getting a photo of the skull, face muscles, and a portrait of the same person each time you want to draw some one, This guide is for artists, having trouble getting their drawings to look like who they are trying to draw when using the loomis, or other similar methodologies. 🫣
Interesting remarks, I experience trouble with placing the eyes vis-a-vis the nose, I'm always wondering where the nasal bone starts and where the glabella.
hey chris, i think my nose video might explain a little more on the issues you might be facing, th-cam.com/video/oPQwvyaSOf4/w-d-xo.html. Another thing that you can try is to get a clear photo reference of a model, like with a 1 source lighting or use a mirror to reference yourself, a life drawing teacher of mine would always encourage us to use our fingers to touch and feel the same areas of the body that we are strugggling to figure out when drawing. Hope this helps!😁
I'm glad that I was able to share a less complex way, however it is important, to bare in mind that the forms that you are drawing exists in a 3D space to prevent the drawing from looking too flat~!! and I know that my scripts don't do very well with continuity, its the hardest part in my video making process !-__-
I use both methods - I find Loomis method good to know but it is risky to stick only to that. Using negative spaces, framing and 2D shapes combined with 3D shapes knowledge is much more powerful. Loomis method is useful while checking proportions of the features in extreame head angles. As a security check.
Always use the methods that works best for you to achieve your most desired results 😊 i personally find artists that rely on 3D shapes mostly tend to alter the proportions of their references and loosing likeness for the sake of 3D 😌
Thanks for the comment Rosi, i hope the tutorials helped, andi think I've seen that komi-san manga at the bookstore near where i lived 😂, also congratulations for being number 2~!! 🪇🎊🎉🎄
Dude, the template is a guide, it never pretends to apply to everybody. It's to learn the average structure of a head. You then adapt the proportions based on your reference
This video is made for artist's struggling to get their head drawings to look like their references and have them stand on their own, while using the template i guess 🐒💨
You denigrate the Loomis method (which I remind you is not a reference for nothing) when all you are doing is just purifying the formula even further... Well yes... That's the principle. Learning to draw always goes through a phase of “unlearning” consisting of freeing oneself from rigorous reference-taking. You think you're intelligent when in the end, you're just following a natural process without realizing it. Without Loomis, you would never have learned how to achieve such a result.

I like your way better than the Loomis, as I find it too complicated and mathematical. But you should ask s.o. to proofread your text.

@@jinartss Ask s.o. to help you. Too many misspellings. It's bear in mind
Loved, LOVED your explainations and process. well done.
Thanks for the kind words, I hope the tutorial helps you with your portraits~!! 🩵

Bug eyes, like Komi-san. Interesting videos on your channel.

What other methods are there besides the loomis method?
There's the Reilly Method, Michael Hampton's method, or Steeve Huston's method, they are some of the more popular ones out there.

nah just pointing out why drawings don't look like their references despite artists using the loomis method, methodologically.🙃
@@jinartss Ok
