The Manikin head is a model of the human head reduced to it's primary forms and planes.
the Loomis method to draw a manikin head. Draw a sphere as the essential form to start my construction, make modification by removing 1/8 of the of the sphere's sides and a quarter wedge of the front, establishing the forehead, nose mouth and chin.
Quick Light and Shadow manikin head studies. Focus on the essential planes.
Constructing the manikin head using the LOOMIS METHOD. Establish the planes, front, back, two sides and top and bottom. Pick the position of your light, determine the angle of the light and tone the head.
A teacher should practice what he preaches.
The training program that I teach to young art students, is the same disciplines that I practice everyday. Draw like your in a race and through repetition the quality will catch up.

Using the x,y, and z axis build a sphere. Join a sphere and a prism together using the x,y, and z axis create an
exact humanoid head. Place them in space in different positions. Watch and check your measurements and
perspective. Work fast, speed is GOD.
The link below takes to Andrew Loomis's book about drawing the human head and hands. Read and reference this book on your time. It will explain and help you understand the principles discussed in class.
