Loomis method

The Loomis method is a technique used by artists to accurately draw the human head in three dimensions. It involves visualizing the head as a three-dimensional box or cylinder, helping to understand its proportions and angles. By establishing basic shapes and guiding lines, artists can better depict the head’s structure, perspective, and facial features. This method provides a systematic approach to capturing the head’s form, making it easier to learn consistent and realistic portrayals of faces from different viewpoints.
