November 12: Drawing Faces

Drawing Warmup

Draw Circles, Ovals, and Ellipses for Five Minutes

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: How to draw human heads using the Loomis Method

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Illustrator, Andrew Loomis's drawing method allows people to create accurate drawings of human faces using basic shapes and easy measurements of proportion.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will create your own drawing of a Loomis Template Head based on a photo reference and turn your drawing in on Teams.

WHAT DOES PROPORTION MEAN IN ART?

In art, proportion refers to the relationship between the different sized components within one whole composition.
