The secret trick that transformed my head drawing

In this video, I’ll share a game-changing tracing exercise that helped me improve my head drawings! Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to refine your skills, this method is practical, effective, and easy to follow.

✨ What I’ll share
A step-by-step tracing exercise to construct heads using the Loomis Method. This exercise will help you see your own mistakes and train your eye for correct head and feature proportions and angles.
Tips for practicing both digitally (Procreate or any software) and traditionally (tracing paper + photo references).
