Brilliant! My high school art teacher took us on an art camping trip. We each had to choose a pine cone. He made us ‘observe’ it for 30 min before we could begin drawing it. Absolutely everyone’s sketch was in beautiful 3D depth and detail.

This is advice I’ve been feeling like everyone good at drawing portraits has been keeping a secret. I’ve been drawing my whole life, and are pretty good at it. Recently started my journey to draw portraits, and I’ve been struggling so much, exactly cuz I went with lomis and straits to the features. The whole idea of skulpting out the subject beforehand is such a great aha for me. Thank you so much for this. This is absolutely gold advice for people trying to learn how to draw portraits

[@lovelifedrawing]

That's great and good luck w your portraits!

[@Ferdouse]

I always got into issues with the actual position of the eyes, nose and lips so I was practicing on the full frontal portrait drawing which I think would be also useful for beginners. Thank you for the great advice.

I refuse to believe that, I am the KING of making mistakes. Not only that, I claim this title thanks to youtube tutorials. If it weren’t for so many misguided attempts at teaching. I wouldn’t have claimed to be the GOAT of mistakes. I deserve the jumping the gun award, the anti observation award, the circle in square peg award, the idiot who paid 600 for a course award, all these I deserve. Anyway great video as always Kenzo.

[@VorpalSnickerSnack]

Oof, I feel you brother.

[@lovelifedrawing]

This is why I'm the king: I actually make the tutorials for a living and then make the mistakes

[@khaashbal6407]

cunt, i deserve the jumping the gun award

[@ginny6365]

Well you know me by now……all about the detail and missing the sculpting of the big shadows till I get to the end and Whoooops. I need these reminders to get back and keep on track. Simple big shapes first!🌺🔱🔱🔱🌺

[@ordinaryimages]

I hit pause and sketch you…most expressive eyebrows on the www ; ]

I don't draw people portraits. But birds and cats portraits. Can this method be applied with animals as well?

[@northside240]

Thank you ❤ Can one get the procreate brush you used for shading somewhere?

[@MayaDrawingArt]

Well done ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SimplyRashidat]

I feel called out 👀👀 1:00

[@ohsfer11820]

The problem for me is the measurement.. I mean the distance of each parts. Loomis have been helpful cause nobody is really teaching anything

[@megaman7357]

great and informational video, but did you have to put the microphone so close to your neck?

[@diogotavares7120]

Great intro teeeach ahahah

[@petervargas483]

very nice

[@VTun1ng]

I know what you are trying to say here, but how you analyze portraits is waaaay more beneficial and structal because you allready have that knowledge. Someone who is just starting to learn to draw portrats will analyze it much less beneficial than you because he won't know what to look for. And those books from Loomis, Bridgman, Bammes, Hoghart, Vilppu, Vanderpoel..... teach you what to look for in a photograph or in real life. What would make much more sense is to read a page or two from one book and only THEN start to observe and look for what you learned in a book (structure)

[@lovelifedrawing]

That is a fair point

[@boreddude73]

i started taking drawing seriously this week and I've been focusing on the loomis method, I feel attacked :D

[@lovelifedrawing]

hehe sorry - i mean i did that too!

[@cyberawt]

😅

[@cynthiaoliver8566]

Loomis is only a framework to describe the proportions and generalized forms of the head. It teaches you to see the planes in a general way, but you have to look how form turns, and there is not one size fits all, so you must observe proportions and observe relationships.

[@TonySwaby]

Fundamental!. Observation is key as is visual comparison. Your making mistakes with this too my friend tho :)

[@skapon86]

I can guarantee you that when I’m making portraits they are hideous and having lots of mistakes

[@gorequillnachovidal]

balls shape on the chin......wut?

[@CelesteLunaRael]

We all need balls. We all do.

[@ianatkin7541]

Things go wrong. That about sums it up.

[@vva101]

Всё фотографии с жёстким контрастным освещением и чёрными тенями. А если освещение мутное, пасмурного дня, то вы сразу бессильны. И ваш курс неприменим, ибо нет явных теней, не яркого света и бликов.

[@dylansearcy3966]

😅

[@tastydolphinbrain]

The face is on the … front of the head… interesting…

[@andyfren5490]

the method you saying that is "wrong" were already established by logical and rational reasoning - everything we see has fundamental shapes and the technique to start from fundamental basic shapes is extremely important in arts < from that basics idea comes abstract. Ex: a ball is a ball, its primary shape is circle, any other details are secondary or superficial, like that from a basketball, a soccer ball or billiard ball, all these accompanying features are superficial - similarly the head and their basic shape are fundamental or basic foundation of a physical things, any details you add to these basic shapes are superficial - to connect your teaching and logic..What you teach is to focus on superficial features, THEREFORE people who follow your logic will achieve only superficial knowledge. Your style maybe applicable to you but not for everyone.
