1-21-2025 "Thirds Method"

 


Today I am starting to explore
the "Thirds Method" of drawing faces
as presented in the Awesome Art School
by Karen Campbell...
as opposed to the "Loomis Method"
that I've been trying to learn via the www
over the past few years.

I have also learned that being artistic and creative
is NOT a talent
but is a SKILL that anyone can learn
with diligent study and practice.
It's just a matter of learning the rules.

Here is the beginning of my study
of the "Thirds Method" of drawing faces.
It will take me several days/weeks to complete.
Then I will draw the same face/reference photo
using the "Loomis Method"
and compare the two
to see which method I prefer.

Step 1- thirds and the circle

Step 2- chin, jaw, neck

Step 3- Placeholders for features
