Never seen an artist start off with a compass. See something new everyday I guess.

[@togetvj]

In Andrew Loomis's book he says if you can't draw a circle you can use a round object to start off. 🙂

[@ThorosThor]

Drawing is complicated and frustrating Even after years of doing it It never gets any easier You need to have NO LIFE AT ALL TO SIT THERE AND DRAW ALL DAY AND FOR WHAT.. THAT AINT REALITY AND ANYONE THAT DRAWS ANYTHING CAN NEVER DUBLICATE ANYTHING IN THE EXACT SAME WAY OR EFFECT SO THEY BASICALLY WINGING IT IT'S A FLUKE..IT'S ALL IT IS THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU ASK EM THEY ALWAYS REPLY WITH THE SAME LAME NON SENSE ANSWER THAT EVERYONE REPEATS WHEN THEY CAN'T RECREATE SOMETHING THEY JUST CALL IT ART IT'S ONLY TALENT IF YOU CAN REPEAT THE EXACT SAME RESULTS! AND IF YOU CAN'T REPLICATE OR REPEAT THE SAME RESULT IN ANYTHING THEN IT DOESN'T COUNT

Anybody tell me howw he is taking measurement

[@gandalfthegamer4067]

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosever believeth In him shall not perish but have everlasting life." Grace is that which is not deserved and yet given anyway. Mercy is when God gets in front of what you do deserve. God is fiercely protective for that which he finds to be his own, and will requite them that are faithful unto he, yea, those who have not begun negativity, pessimism, and resentful natures and spew not a copiousness of uncaring selfishness, the workers of iniquity who see it right to do wrong in the sight of the Lord and change not their ways, who say none shall see my wrong and Love is of no importance. Pray for wisdom and treasure God with all the heart, read the KJV and study diligently that none of you be deceived. Read even this. Isaiah 28:9-10 Matthew 4:4 Proverbs 4:7 Psalms 1 Hebrews 11:1 & 6

How are you deciding the size of the initial circle? In the front and 3/4 views, is the radius from the eyebrow to the mouth opeining?

[@MeatyWhack]

In your videos can you explain how you choose the angle sizes? I found this a bit confusing when trying to follow along

[@MateLion97]

I dont understand how the measures and the compass opening are made, are them set by default based on the loomis method or you just measure the refence photo and then put the same measures on paper? Sorry if im not clear enough but i really dont understand and i would like to learn the method

[@SketchShade]

Hi i measure every distance from the reference picture and put them on paper. Their is no fixed ratio in loomis method.

[@Ratva666]

Magnificent😘🤩😍🥰😇👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

This method isn't for me, but for those that can work with graphs and methodical techniques like this more power to you ^^ Great art piece :)

[@nogoogleplus]

Awesome, but I have no idea what you’re doing with the compass….I mean I saw what was labeled I.e. hairline, eyebrow line etc….but I literally have no idea how to set the compass to get these reference marks?

[@JuanHernandez-rk4xp]

Mmmmta, asi dibujas?... y si no tienes compás, escuadra y regla ya no hiciste nada?

[@ayafarah7509]

I'd say this method more than awesome, so don't discontinue it please. But please add all the measurements if you can 🙏🏻 Last thing Really Thanks for your♥️♥️ efforts

When you got to the facial measuring you stopped the line explanation...I got a bit lost but will watch over again in 0.5x speed hehe

[@ASTRO34-i3q]

I dont know why This method looks more difficult to me I make better proportion just by bare hand when I tried this method it is messed should I still practice it? or just keep doing like I do?

[@imback7247]

I wish he actually explained what how and why he placed all those lines for. I've seen the basic use of the loomis method but none had this many lines but obviously it worked I just don't understand

[@tillysprenger6318]

😍 Un artiste vrai de vrai ! (J'aurais aimé explications au fur et à mesure du dessin)

[@paulhomsy2751]

Moi aussi, je n'ai pas bien compris l'idee de commencer avec un cercle. Peut etre pour definir des marges au depart...

Are you also using the compass as dividers to scale off the original picture?

[@SketchShade]

yes 👍

[@Jack96993]

I thought so👍 I could always naturally draw but just couldn't get objects accurate enough for me ln my career l became an engineer and applied some of those principles like you do using my ruler and compass and they really help I also went back to basics for awhile and did all my art work in pencil only Your art work is amazing!

[@FNofAK]

Very nice video 👌

[@yagmur1850]

Gerçekten harika ne kadar zamanını aldı ? denemek istiyorum

[@edkrzywdzinski9121]

Just fabulous, not simply the final product, but the method and techniques. I would dearly love to be that good first time, but realise there has to be a lot of practice first and my patience threshold has dwindled over the years. One thing I have wondered and not found a suitable answer for, on paper anyway as digital tablets don't have that problem. I have been watching many manga artist videos as opposed to this type of drawing, so I wonder what to do about the construction lines? With manga or cartoonists in general I believe, they do one of two things. They either do an initial drawing with the constructions lines visible, ink it in, then erase extraneous pencil marks - which I always felt can affect the final ink. Or, as I did when I drafted engineering plans, they overlay a new, clean sheet over the final drawing and using a light table will ink directly onto this new sheet. Hope you can answer this for me, cheers.

[@SketchShade]

Thank you. The construction lines are drawn with a light grade of pencil which i erase it with a kneaded eraser before and while shading the drawing.

[@neerajsaxena]

Mind-blowing skills and the background music enhances the video as well.

[@hd-xc2lz]

An alternative approach to practice drawing: draw from life more, use photos FAR less.

[@stephanenicolas745]

I like the video, but I would love to get some narrative on what you're doing, explaining your thinking process.

[@santulokare1746]

It's really wonderful 😍 How to take proper ratio by looking into the reference or the ratios taking from the loomis mathod !? Please make one video on how to take proper ratio for nose and eyes and lips and chin line ..this gonna help us lot
