How to Draw 3/4 Face LOOMIS Method | Cintiq 16

Learn how to draw faces from the 3/4 angle using the Loomis method. I did alter a few things, though. Also learn how to approach shading and how to modify various facial features to tweak your drawing or to design new unique characters.
This drawing tablet was generously sent to me by Wacom (thank you Wacom!!), but rest assured, all opinions in this video are my own. Wacom tablets are just the best, how can I NOT gush over them?
I haven't done much drawing on it yet because I just got it, but so far I love it! Drawing/shading feels amazing and I'm really really happy with the adjustable stand - it makes such a big difference being able to draw at a steeper angle!
I'm super duper impressed with it so far and excited for those of you who have been waiting for Wacom to release a budget friendly display tablet :) The Cintiq 16 is such an amazing entry level display tablet for such an affordable price.
If you want to see me do a full speed drawing and/or review on it, let me know!

[@ikoroemmanuel1596]

No matter how bad you are at drawing this somehow makes your drawings a whole lot better😁😁😁

[@alfiesolomon3531]

This is by far the most thorough and clearest Loomis method tutorial i have ever come across on youtube. Not only you give precise measurements and concise explanations, you walked us through the whole process delightfully. i'd recommand your tutorial to anyone (like me) who didn't have the patience to read the whole book. You pretty much packed the whole method in a 30min video. VERY impressive! Instant Sub!

[@zoomgallygally]

Soothing voice too, some people have the most annoying voices

[@BarryHeaven]

This is so good. I struggled to make progress with the Andrew Loomis book. This explains the basic principles in a much more accessible way. Thanks.

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

She explained easier to understand.

[@JHEN2219]

SERIOUSLY - I bought the books.Took notes. Highligted. Tried scoping the method out on every magazine page. NOTHING made sense and put it more into context than this. Thank you for your work and creating from something that is so complicated, a simple explanation that will provide so much joy to so many.

[@christophercraig9295]

Your videos have helped me with my art tremendously. Thank you so much! :-) I just purchased this same Cintiq and I LOVE IT!!

[@alexanderprotto4520]

oh my goodness, this really works! Thanks for the tutorial. I had been trying to detailing the Loomis method with a crappy result so far. Like, share and bell.

this was very easy to follow. lots of detailed direction, slow movements and lingering shots of each section and stroke, allowing me to carefully take my time following along each step with you. did not feel like I had to keep catching up or ask myself how you got from one point to another so quick because you took it nice and slow! thanks so much. this was a great video and I also love your speaking voice. :)

[@arwelsartgallery2310]

[@GameMasterToolbox]

I was so discouraged when I started drawing with the tablet. I noticed the tablet exposes how fuzzy my lines are, but what you said is helping me realize I should just relax.

[@moorek1967]

[@enduringpromise]

Fantastic. I am a beginner and I have been searching for videos to draw using digital tools instead of conventional pencil. I would love to more videos on brushes, opacity, flow, blending, erasing. Your teaching is one of the best I have found!!!

Holy guacamole I has uncovered the whole art galaxy's secret and I shall concur this OwO

[@dropkickedmurphy6463]

I had been using Proko's tutorial for this originally. Rewatching it, I did see some inconsistencies, and it led to me drawing the loomis head a bit off. Watching this video gave me a little more clarification. Thank you.

[@jamesburnette6982]

Great tutorial and I have watched a lot of them. I always wondered how you could learn to draw the planes of the head other that just copying hundreds of them. This way you learn Loomis and planes thanks.

[@eslammohamedaziz3007]

Amazing you're the best artiest thank you for teaching me ❤❤❤❤

[@artfootage4320]

I am using a Wacom Bamboo tablet made in 2011, it still works.

[@matthaverly98]

Another great tutorial - thanks! Man, wish my Apple Pencil had an eraser on the end like your digital pencil does.

[@sandy_inksane]

Very well explained, thank you! The app you list i can not find (anymore) though, if you have some alternatives, that would be great?

[@sharonwinters1054]

Thanks!

[@valafeindoana8344]

Hello, great tutorial. Just a quick question. How do you mesure the lenght of the side plane slice in the horizontal line? In the vertical line it's 2/3 of the principal axis, but i never get good in the horizontal axis. Thanks in advance

[@okseo856]

[@tahersaied8662]

amazing

[@minaldodia6976]

Your every video is good

[@avili1000]

good video. I have a question about the side circle. How do I know if the circle should be on all the side of the head (when the head is tilted) or just part of it? Sometimes I see people drawing and not using all the space for the side circle to the end of the head.

[@komalpahuja8552]

Very beautiful and...easy..way .. Mam.... thanks 🥰♥️👏👏👏👏🍰

[@behjatjavaher3807]

You are amazing

[@dianewalker7451]

Your video was very helpful. Thank you for your work on it. I started getting lost when you eliminated some lines and shading in order to make what you were doing easier to see. I think it would be easier for me however if your drawing kept all the lines so I could use them as a reference to my own. Several times I made the wrong guesses and had to back up, but when I did, of course the newer lines weren't yet there. Nevertheless, thanks to you I did end up with a decently proportioned face. Thank you again.

[@renukarakkasgi3436]

[@meikeboomgaard2255]

hii, i tried this, but i always draw female characters so it turned out like a male/female mix. I already made the nose, eyes and eyebrows a little different. So how do i make it look more like a women?
