Event Description Have you ever tried to draw a person, only to find the eyes look "pasted on" or the proportions feel just a little bit off? This four-week course demystifies the human head by breaking it down into simple, manageable shapes. Using the world-renowned Loomis Method, you’ll learn how to construct a portrait from any angle—not just from the front. What We’ll Cover - The "Loomis" Secret: Master the sphere-and-plane approach to build a 3D head that looks solid and realistic. - The Geometry of Features: Learn why the eye is a ball in a socket, the nose is a series of wedges, and the lips are soft "pillows" of light and shadow. - Mapping Light: Use the "Asaro Head" technique to see the face as a series of flat planes, making shading much easier and more effective. - The Final Portrait: Bring it all together by creating a high-contrast finished piece, moving from big structural shapes to the fine details that make a portrait pop.
