Wow this is such a great video. It's something all portrait artists need to be exposed to ASAP. When I started drawing, I ended up combining both methods without true awareness of the distinction of the two. And that becomes messy, because you start relying on measurements in places where one should ideally rely on knowledge of anatomy instead...

Superb demo. You remind me of my wonderful drawing instructor Abbey Sangiamo who taught for a number of years at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He referred to the "meat and potatoes" kind of drawing. Hated flat modelling Our assignments were always to seek out the "structural" aspects of form and NOT to copy value but to understand how to use value to organize the marks on the paper into a three dimensional re-creation of the optical image. Once you understand this mindset it changes how you work completely. I think the structural approach is so evident in drawings of the Renaissance especially Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Raphael. I think the Loomis model is very helpful in understanding the construction of the head. Your explanation is right on the mark (pun intended) Your understanding of form and sensitivity to technique work so well together. I am an old dog and can't learn too many more new tricks but really appreciate seeing quality instruction in the midst of so much fluff on line. thank you and good luck with your Patreon lessons.

Your breakdown is excellent, and as a fellow painter, mainly focused on floral subjects, I have intuitively developed similar modes of seeing to simplify my subjects. In addition to the two modes you mentioned, I have also utilised a third mode, not explicitly mentioned, along with the possibility of other elaborations. 1. The first mode involves seeing in terms of value shapes, simplifying the subject into light and shadow shapes with two distinct values. 2. The second mode, referred to as the structural mode, simplifies the subject in terms of form, relying on the ability to envision and depict three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface. 3. The third mode encompasses contour lines, particularly evident in subjects with flat lighting or silhouettes. Many students find it easier to understand and implement the shape mode of seeing, while some struggle with the structural method due to the need for spatial visualisation. The ease of the third mode depends on the lighting situation. Regarding the Loomis method you mentioned, I personally found it challenging as it relies on representing spherical form, which can be ambiguous when further dividing the structure. I have discovered that a planar approach to structural form, where the sphere becomes a cube or another polyhedron, is easier to work with. Straight lines, as you mentioned, facilitate comparing relationships more effortlessly than curved lines. It's worth noting that you also employ a straight line construction method, which differs from the Loomis approach. The Reilly method, with its increased utilization of curved lines, can be even more tricky for the same reason. One issue with the shape/value mode arises when the subject is lit in a way that makes it difficult to simplify into distinct light and shadow areas. This is evident in subjects lit from the back or front. In such cases, relying on contour lines, or the silhouette line, becomes crucial. A structural form approach can help alleviate the challenges posed by the shape/value mode to some extent in this situation. I wholeheartedly agree with your emphasis on the accuracy of the block-in stage. While it is a basic and fundamental step, it sets the foundation for the iterative refinement process.

I appreciate how in your Bargue tutorials you stress the conceptual understandings of what Barge was trying to instill in us, but yes sometimes it's nice to have the more straight forward "how to" videos on techniques like that. I think it would be very well received too because knowing you, yours would be one of the only good ones on the internet on the topic. :)
