After watching the xppen tutorial video, For drawing head tips i found out about loomis method!


Step-by-Step Construction

 Step 1: The Base Sphere & Center Line

Draw a circle to represent the skull. Add a vertical center line to determine the direction the face is turning, and a horizontal line through the middle to establish the brow line. You can also draw a box to guide your head direction.

 Step 2: Flatten the Sides

Since the human head is not a perfect sphere, cut off the sides by drawing a vertical ellipse on the side of the ball. The width of this ellipse changes depending on the angle (front, 3/4 view, or profile).

 Step 3: Establish Facial Divisions (Rule of Thirds)

Use the vertical height of the side ellipse to divide the face into equal thirds:

 Hairline: The top edge of the side ellipse.

 Brow Line: The center line of the side ellipse.

 Nose Line: The bottom edge of the side ellipse.

 Chin Line: Measure one equal unit down from the nose line.

you can play with the ratio to make unique face.

 Step 4: Draw the Jaw & Position the Ear

Extend the jawline from the back of the side ellipse down to the chin mark. Place the ear inside the bottom-rear quadrant of the side ellipse, aligned between the brow line and the bottom of the nose.

 Step 5: Place the Facial Features

 Eyes: Positioned just below the brow line, sitting roughly at the vertical midpoint of the entire head.

 Mouth: Positioned about one-third of the way down from the nose line to the chin line.


happy drawing everyone!😊
