How to Draw the HEAD & FACE - Reilly Method SIDE VIEW - Art Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ค. 2017
- This time around we cover using the Reilly abstractions, but from the side view of the head. I personally think that much of what makes the Reilly method so useful is lost when we apply it to the side view, but that isn't to say that none of it is useful. Because much of it is.
I really hope that you enjoy this tutorial and demonstration, and are able to find it useful.
Let me know in the comments if you have any requests for future art content!

Dude I recently subscribed to the Watts Atelier online program and your videos are more helpful on learning the Reilly head than theirs. Anyone thinking about joining Watts should be aware.
Wow, thank you :) I really appreciate the kind words!
thank you, i wanted to try Watts online program
Greg Nouret I'm not saying don't try it, but seriously study and practice Galens video as well as Proko stuff beforehand. Especially practice sharpening a conte pencil their way and using it on smooth newsprint.
thank you for your advice, i'll do
yes, i didn't think that it was anyone's intention to discredit the website or what they offer. I've heard good things about them from several people. I just wanted to express my gratitude toward the compliment!
You speak so calm and easy to follow while drawing! Thank you so much!!
Why don't the useful videos blow up the way the useless videos do... Thank you for the videos. They were informative enough for me to understand the method.
Hey, Galen, I've been using the Reilly method for drawing faces for two days and WOW!!! What a difference in my drawing. Thank you so much for your videos.
knowing how to draw my faces, you know, so many years of just practicing by guessing till I get it like I want it, and then doing your tutorial is - wow - really going to cut a lot of time off of my (hard dammit lol) work. I thought I'd studied reilly, but I hadn't. When I did your tutorials and really focused on putting it all into my memory, I was stunned by the results. This is so helpful, so well explained, and so easy to follow. I do not recommend this to my competition. LOL. Thank you so much, Galen, for sharing this invaluable tool. I have a BFA in painting followed by years at the art students league in manhattan, art academy, etc etc, and, I hadn't had this so well taught to me ever. You have my everlasting gratitude
Hi, I’ve been drawing portraits but I am not satisfied with my work. I’ve found out this method recently and it seems to be helpful for me. I will keep watching your videos.
My question right now in life is where has Reilly and Galen been all of my drawing life? Like, why on God's green majestic Earth had my art teacher whipped my back, back in the day with Loomis, HUH? It's helpful but this is on some Anatomy textbook level business. I did the front view last from his tutorial and it was a bit off, ONLY because I haven't drawn in years and this guy has been doing it for a while, therefore his will be smoother and more inline. But if I practice and keep following his tutorials I'll be soaring. I'm actually really pumped to start drawing again and Reilly and Galen is the reason. Not getting the eyes even are a thing of the past, youtube community!
Brilliant, I love it and feel enlightened. Thank you
I have been learning the different angles of the reilly method only on your channel. It's the easiest to understand and follow. Surprised at how some of my portraits turned out because of your videos. Thank you!
I know I'm a bit late here, but thank you! Your tutorials helped me a lot and there's something about your personality that makes you calming to watch- makes it a lot easier to watch art tutorials with ADHD lol. I've been getting super into technical art and realized the loomis method wasn't working for me. I have a visual perceptual processing deficit that makes it really important for me to have clear geometric guidelines and the Reilly method has helped a lot so far, but nobody else was as easy to learn from as you!
Thank you so much for sharing these!
Thank you for your videos they are really helpful. Love , light, and peace.
I really enjoy how well you explain what you are doing! Very nice!!
Galen, your tutorials are superb.
Thanks!
Very informative and well demonstrated. Liked and subscribed. Thank you and well done!
Thank you so much for these three videos man. Subscribed

You're awesome at teaching. Well done
Thank you Galen ! All clear, informative and very interesting.
Спасибо :) (i hope I got that right) If not, thank you!! :)
You got Talent to teach!!!!!
Thank you so much that was very helpful 💕💕
Very helpful!! Thank you
I do see the usefulness of the sideview that you have shown. More clarity! Thank you again, Galen! :)
Thank you for all of your kind words and comments! :D
wow
Bro thank you i am super late here but i dint know what a reilly method was until i found this vid of youres and the other on if it wasnt for you i would never be available to draw better portraits then i did using a loomis method
Hey thanks i really need this one
no problem at all! I hope it's helpful!
haha, thank a lot, i gonna try this evening ;)
Thank you.
Like from India Tamil Nadu... really good and useful...thanku
Great videos. Confused on one detail. If you look at page 43 of Drawing The Head & Hands, Loomis uses the eye line to mark the center of the eyes. Does the Reilly Method use it to mark the bottom of the eyes or is this just a personal preference of yours?
Thanks for this one, too! I wonder why there aren't any Reilly Method books in print just now. It must all be in the public domain; Jeff Watts is working on remastering a couple of the George Bridgman books, I believe...
This is purely hearsay, because I haven't tried to verify anything, but I think it's primarily because when Frank Reilly died, he hadn't yet produced any sort of books or official instruction on the method. What we have today is supposed to be purely thanks to his students sharing what they learned from him.
can you do a tutorial about the body with Reilly Method. your videos really helpful thank you :)
Ilike drawing perfect
Hey Galen, fantastic videos on the Reilly method, really appreciate what you are doing. I notice in the demonstration you've placed the front of the face slightly away from the initial circle - was that intentional? I've been drawing the Loomis method/Reilly with the line coming straight off of the circle. I often find my side views are a little squished - could this be why?
Andy King it's possible, but I'd have to see it to give a solid answer. But you could give it a shot and see if that helps things.
In my case yes it was deliberate, but it's not something I do every time.
I change it up depending on the face and head structure.
Art by Galen Awesome thanks, I've drawn a few side head sketches today and they do look much better starting a little out in front. I'm definitly going to continue with that as my starting point. thanks!
Andy King im having the same problem! i actually just asked the same question!. . at first i thought maybe my circles werent wide enough. or i was drawing the features too large..but..i cant seem to figure it out
what is the defrence between Reilly mathod and androw loomis mathod which one is better plzzz tell??????
Can you make a video on how to apply this Reilly method on references for traditional drawings I just can't find any video related to it.😭❤️❤️
Wonderful method I have taken a class and didnt get any of this
Is there a Reilly method for drawing the body?
👍 very usefull
It is usefull... if you want to create 3d faces this is a must. Awasome tutorials... make me thing i waste money on my anatomy books xD
anatomy books are always good to have around!
Very useful
how come everytime i do this..my circle doesnt seem wide enough..and my face profile ends up far more "squished"...
Faith, I'd really have to see it to see what's happening with your drawing. But with that said, I do sometimes draw this method with that front face line on the edge of the circle, and sometimes with it off of it. All I can say without seeing it is to make slight adjustments to "un-squish" it. Another method is to take a copy of a face that you're happy with, and reverse engineer these guidelines based on that, then compare it to your current ones and see what the differences are. Best of luck, and please feel free to comment if you have any more questions or frustrations. I'll do what I can to help it make sense.
So I noticed from many different artists that when using the Reilly Method some place the mouth and nose further up in the circle so that the top lip sits right above the circle and some place the lips under the circle. Why is this? Does anyone know

I think it honestly boils down to preference. Either would work. Human faces vary so much in shape, size and proportion, there is a LOT that can be changed about them and they'd still technically be accurate. Just use the method you think looks/works best for you :)
Thanks for your comment!
Art by Galen thanks so much for the quick reply. That was very helpful
Me have most problems head arm drawing
loomis is better for side view
Thank you.
