Do you have some specific questions about his technique? It would be much better to ask them here, since you can bet other people are confused about the same points.

I'm just starting out on his head and hands and it's helping me a butt-load-the construction method is pretty easy to get to grips with and i think where its really gonna help is with wierd perspectives:P

Ellingsworth, what an awesome site, thanks a lot :)

Hey Briggsy.. I'll tell you why I wanted someone to talk with in the msn, cuz in a "live" talk I might understand it better.

So if u or anybody want to explain it to me via msn it would be great..really.

I have hard time to understand how he is dividing the face.. or if I want to draw from an image and I want to make the head larger then it becoming complicated and I am not new to drawing, it just that it's not going easy.

Ron Lemen talks you through constructing the head, Loomis style. (http://www.anticz.com/heads.htm)

Thanks Elwell, I know this site and didn't understand and I read it more then 10 times :/

There is something that I don't get:/

Hi Loveart, how are you getting on with your Loomis studies? I just thought to ask if you had looked at Loomis' first book, Fun with a Pencil. If not, it should help - in that one he begins with a simpler construction before working up to the more elaborate and realistic construction he uses in the other books. Also, some of the diagrams give a clearer idea than the later books of how to make those lines on the sphere (actually half ellipses) look right.
