Features within it”.The Loomis Method helps artists to recreate the human head in their drawing by forcing us to think of the underlying structure of the head and is an excellent way of determining where to place the different features of the face in a portrait.Here is a step-by-step tutorial for drawing the Loomis Head.Step 1: Draw a BallTo begin with the Loomis Method, we draw a ball to represent the mass of the cranium (the upper part of the skull surrounding the brain that does not include the bones of the jaws).Step 2: Flatten the sides of the ballIf you observe your face in the mirror, you’ll notice that the front planes of the face merge into the flat side planes of the head around the temples. We flatten the sides of the cranium ball drawn in Step 1 to show these flat circular side planes of the head.The flattened sides are roughly two-thirds the size of the cranium ball, but the degree to which they are visible to the observer depends on the angle of the face relative to the viewer. When drawing the head from the side view, we draw a smaller circle within the cranium ball to represent the side plane.The inner circle represents the head’s side plane in profile view. Step 3: Draw the browline, middle line, and halfway lineBrowlineMiddle LIneHalfway LineThe browline establishes the angle of the head in our drawing. We draw the browline wrapped around the center of the cranium ball (like a rubber band) by observing the relative angle of the brow ridge and the top of the ears.The middle line marks the vertical center of the face, whereas the halfway line represents the vertical center of the cranium ball from the sides.Step 4: Mark a cross on the center of the faceThe intersection between the browline and the middle line is crucial in establishing the overall perspective of the face and is critical in locating the different landmarks on the face. This cross marks the vertical and horizontal center of the head.Step 5: Indicate the hairlineAndrew Loomis suggests that we draw the hairline halfway through the distance between the midpoint marked in Step 4 and the top of the head, where the hallway line and the middle line meet at the top of the cranium ball.This step can be confusing for beginners, especially when the top of the head is

A skull from the Cova dels Xaragalls near Barcelona, dated to the Bronze Age. The hole in its cranium is a result of a trepanation and possibly an attempt to cure an illness; other skulls from prehistoric Spain show signs of the same procedure.(Image credit: Antonio Rodríguez-Hidalgo, Instituto de Arqueología de Mérida (CSIC-Junta de Extremadura))Starting about 7,000 years ago, ancient humans in what is now northeastern Spain buried their dead deep in a cave, creating a necropolis of sorts that spans about four millennia and now contains more than 7,000 bones, according to archaeologists. And there are signs it may have been used for tens of thousands of years before that.The Cova dels Xaragalls (Cave of the Ravines) was "a collective burial place," archaeologist Antonio Rodríguez-Hidalgo, a researcher at the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology and Social Evolution (IPHES) and the Merida Institute of Archaeology, told Live Science in an email.He said people were buried in communal graves within the cave starting about 7,000 years ago, during the late Neolithic or New Stone Age, though most of the Chalcolithic ("Copper-Stone") period and throughout the Bronze Age, which ended in Spain about 3,000 years ago.Related: Highest-ranking person in Copper Age Spain was a woman, not a man, genetic analysis showsAn analysis of the grave goods buried with the dead — typically ceramics, flint tools and necklaces — suggests that high-status individuals were buried alone in the cave during the late Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, while communal burials within the cave were still used for people lower in society, the researchers found.Grave goods were especially abundant during the Bronze Age, when some individuals were buried with rich collections of weapons and other items, Rodríguez-Hidalgo said.One of the Bronze Age skulls has a hole in the cranium made by a trepanation; this individual
