Is the only pencil you own an HB a.k.a #2 pencil from school? No worries!! In this tutorial, I use a cheap dollar store pencil (worth only $0.10 as it came in a pack of 20), a regular facial tissue, and a normal sheet of printer paper. The pencil was scratchy and difficult 😐 to blend smoothly - Definitely not the best drawing tool, but it also wasn't the end of the world. Follow along with me as we work through these obstacles together to create a beautiful drawing of full plump lips!

This is my favorite type of eraser and I use it in almost all of my tutorials. Since we're all in quarantine right now, I know it may not be easy to buy, so I hope this DIY tutorial helps!
✏️ SOLID ERASERS I TESTED IN THIS VIDEO WITH RESULTS! Notes: I judge how good each eraser is by how well it erases (how many dabs it takes to erase something), how well it holds its shape when I mold it/when I use it to erase something. Erasers ranked as mediocre are still viable, they're just less effective to work with (eg: it may require more effort to erase with)
- Sakura Latex-Free, Non-PVC Eraser (Quick to knead. Doesn't require adhesive. Makes a great kneaded eraser.)
- PaperMate PVC-Free Eraser (Quick to knead. Doesn't need any adhesive. Makes a great kneaded eraser): amzn.to/2WzKNcs
- Tombow Mono Plastic Eraser (Quick to knead. Somewhat crumbly. Needs some adhesive or graphite to soften it up. Makes a great kneaded eraser. Will become stiff when it cools back down from the warmth of your fingers, so it requires kneading before use. You can use this to your advantage, though - using it as both a solid eraser and putty eraser. It can hold its shape extremely well for erasing the tiniest areas): amzn.to/3dru1nj
- Pentel Hi-Polymer Eraser (Quick to knead. Somewhat crumbly putty. Needs some adhesive to fix crumbliness. Makes a good kneaded eraser): amzn.to/35H5s26
- Dixon HB Pencil from dollarstore, latex-free (Takes some effort to knead. Not crumbly, but feels drier than all the solid erasers listed above. Works better without adhesive, but it is quite stiff. Makes a good kneaded eraser after you mix it with some graphite): amzn.to/2WIs92a
- Random white eraser from an old pencil case. I probably haven't used it in like 12 years (It was so stiff that it didn't even feel like rubber (It still worked anyway. I was able to quickly form it into a putty without any adhesive. Makes a good kneaded eraser)
- Paw Patrol Eraser from dollarstore (Quick to knead. Crumbly putty. Needs some adhesive. Makes a good kneaded eraser)
- PaperMate Pink Pearl Latex/PVC-Free Eraser (Extremely crumbly. Needs a lot of adhesive to become putty. Makes a mediocre kneaded eraser because it requires so much adhesive in order to be a decent putty eraser, that it can be difficult to mold into certain shapes without it sticking to my fingers and it changes shape too easily when I erase - you can observe this at the 4:13 mark. If you don't need it to erase super fine details, it will do a good job): amzn.to/2SMryLx
- Studio HB Pencil from dollarstore (Results were similar to the Pink Pearl eraser. Makes a mediocre kneaded eraser)
✏️ MY FAVORITE STORE-BOUGHT KNEADED ERASER I used this for some comparison shots. - Prismacolor Kneaded Eraser (My favorite brand. I'm not sponsored by them. A NEW kneaded eraser will need to be broken into by adding some graphite particles and kneading it well to get it to soften up): amzn.to/33VEnYt

You don't need to have all these tools to start (you really only need a pencil and paper), but having more tools can enhance your work and make the drawing process more efficient and easy!
Here's a little more info on some of the tools mentioned:
Paper Weight: This number is not the actual weight of the sketchbook or drawing pad. It is the weight of 500 sheets. The average copy paper or printer paper is around 20-30lbs (pounds).
Drawing Pad: I find that the thicker it is, the better because thicker sheets can hold up to a lot more wear and tear, especially when I'm working on a portrait drawing that takes hours of work. For me, 70lbs works great. Keep into consideration that I'm light to medium handed. If you draw using a lot of pressure, I'd recommend a drawing pad that's at least 80lbs.
Kneaded Eraser: When you first buy it, the eraser will NEED to be molded until it becomes SOFT. To speed up this process, scribble on your sketchpad to create a lot of graphite DUST. Then press your eraser onto the page, allowing it to pick up the graphite. Then knead the eraser so it envelops the graphite (knead it well). Basically, the more you use the eraser, the softer and more pliable it will become. You'll also notice the color turn darker (which is why the packaged eraser in my left hand looks so light in color). To clean a kneaded eraser, just fold it in on itself a few times.

I'm super duper impressed with it so far and excited for those of you who have been waiting for Wacom to release a budget friendly display tablet :) The Cintiq 16 is such an amazing entry level display tablet for such an affordable price.

It took me a long time to grasp/learn the Loomis method myself and so I wanted to create an easy tutorial that anyone could learn from.

The Andrew Loomis head drawing method is AMAZING, but it took me an extremely long time to fully grasp in order to craft this tutorial. There were some details missing from his book that I couldn't wrap my head around until I started practicing the method every day for about a month. I'm a slow learner and not as bright as the average Joe, but I finally started to piece it all together. This tutorial is meant to fill in all those blanks that I struggled with when I was learning the Loomis method so that I can help other artists learn it more easily and grasp the concepts quickly.
I hope this tutorial was able to clear up any questions or difficulties you have regarding the Loomis method.
Please excuse my raspy voice. I'm still getting over a cold :)
