Hello my friends and welcome
to another Tuesday of tutorial! I am Leonardo Pereznieto and
today we will draw the head in different angles, based on the technique
by master Andrew Loomis giving in this beautiful book. As Loomis wrote, the basic shape
of the head, the cranium, is like a flattened ball. We can divide it
into quarters, with a vertical and a horizontal axis. And we slice the sides, since I
told you, it was a flattened ball. So, now we have a head that
we can point in any direction and we can use this as the basic
structure in our drawings. Ok, let’s try it with a sketch! First we draw a circle. Good! and then we draw the flattened
area, which if it is in perspective will be an oval. We trace the axis, this oval and the axis
will give us the tilt of the head. The horizontal axis in the middle
of the sphere, indicates the height of the eyebrows. And this other one is the vertical midline
of the face, so this cross in front will be in front of the eyebrows. Now we pull the height of our oval
with a parallel line to the axes and that gives us the hairline
or the top of the face and the bottom of the oval
will be the bottom of the nose. Since the face is flattish
we draw a straight line down. As you see we have two equal
sections, from the hairline to the brows, and from the brows to the bottom
of the nose. If we make one more equal section
down here, magically, we have the bottom of the chin. And we can draw the jaw like this. Of course all these measurements
can vary depending on the person. The bigger you make the oval,
the longer the nose and the face will be. and the smaller the oval, the more rounded
the face. We add some planes like so. The ear
will easily fit in this quadrant, since its height generally is from
about the eyebrows to the bottom of the nose. The eyes of course go below the eyebrows, and we know the height of the bottom of the nose, but of course it is not on the vertical
midline since it is sticking out. I clean up some lines that we don’t need, we draw the mouth and I will shorten
just slightly the chin. We draw the neck... we can refine also
a little bit the bone structure and add some hair. Alright! Let’s draw some more
to get the hang of it. This time
I will use an iPad. Let’s draw the circle... like so and the oval. He will be looking down. The vertical and horizontal axis, the height of the hairline and
of the nose. The midline of the face
and we mark the end of the chin. Since this time the chin is farther
away from us that section should be a little bit smaller because of the perspective. So we know the height of the eyebrows,
the bottom of the nose and of the chin as well as that of the beginning of the hairline and the exact position of the ear. Which facilitate things, I erase this plane
of the cheeks slightly, and it's done. Let’s do another one, this time looking
a little bit more toward us and up, we make the circle and the oval, then
the axis, the parallel lines from the bottom and top of the oval, for our nose and brows. The straight midline of the face,
and we can begin with the features. Sorry, the nose will get to here,
and therefore the cheek to about here. As you see the top third is a little bit smaller because it is farther away from us. In the book I showed you at the beginning
by Loomis, it's also explained how to draw every feature from different angles. Links for the book and for the materials
I use, are in the information below the video. Let’s draw the planes of the cheek and jaw, and it's ready! This method also works for women's heads. Let’s draw one! The bone structure in a woman
tends to be less prominent and it is softer. It is almost impossible to draw a beautiful woman if the proportions and feature placement is not accurate. I made a new layer to dim the structural
sketch. In a woman you can make the brows
slightly higher and the nose and ear slightly smaller. Let’s draw the jaw a little bit more rounded
than in a man, good. And add some hair. The neck, cheek, a little bit more detail
to the ear, bones and hair. And its ready! Please let me know if this
was helpful at all. And if you enjoyed it please

on Tuesday ;) Subtitled by Grethel Trejo
