Struggling with drawing heads can be discouraging, especially when proportions, angles, and shapes don’t seem right. But don’t lose hope—there's an easy and effective method for beginners that can help you overcome these challenges: the Loomis method. Developed by Andrew Loomis, an American illustrator and art instructor, this method simplifies the process of drawing heads by breaking it down into manageable shapes and lines.

To start, let’s explore drawing a head from the front view using Loomis's approach.

Begin by sketching a circle. It doesn't need to be perfect—just as close as you can get. Remember, the head is more oval-shaped than a perfect circle, so adjust by trimming a small section from each side of the circle, roughly one-sixth to one-eighth of the width.

Next, draw two intersecting lines through the middle of the circle. These lines will guide the direction of the head. For a front view, the vertical line is key, and the horizontal line indicates where the eyebrows will be positioned.

Divide the upper half of the circle into thirds. The highest mark on this division represents the hairline. Apply the same technique to the lower half to find the nose line. Extend the vertical line downward to mark the chin line. The chin should be approximately the same distance from the nose as the eyebrows are from the nose.
