Plate 3. Establishing the Middle Line & Jaw Structure #LoomisMethod #HowToDraw #sketchportraitsbync

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to establish the middle line and build the jaw structure using the Loomis Method. This is Plate 3 in the Loomis Head Drawing series, where we focus on understanding the jaw as a solid form, not just an outline. You will learn how to place the middle line correctly, where the jaw hinge is located, how the jaw wraps under the skull, and jaw construction in front, 1/2, and 3/4 views. This lesson is designed for beginners, with slow explanations and clear construction steps, and emphasizes that a strong jaw structure is essential for realistic portraits.
