Question about the circle. I know from the top of the head, but how do I determine where the bottom of the circle lands? I have seen so many Loomis tutorials that some are located in the middle of mouth and others under bottom lip.. I will go back and rewatch the skull. Just wanted your imput

wow this lesson is amazing, after looking at both 25 days to better drawing &the secret to drawing i found i was not ready to start drawing yet, but this course is brilliant and a great starting point for a guy like me who never drew before {68 years old}.as a beginner i am using cheap white paper with just a cheap pencil until i feel i can draw better.time is on my side so maybe in a month or two i hope to be using the right gear and better results.

Hi Matt
Great explanations for drawing faces in frontal and profile view. Thank you so much. Is there anywhere a quideline how I can use your way to draw the face (with the circle and the square, the lines) if it’s a 3/4 view? I tried it out, but I was not able to manage it on my own.
Looking forward to your response. Martina

Hi Matt!! I noticed that you are using a small blending stump.. Is there a reason behind that? Or is it just that you like to use a small blending stump..

Hi Matt-
How do you apply this Loomis method to 3/4 view portrait or a profile view?
Thanks,
Steve
