Drawing of a human figure. Without sparing any effort

“A perfect drawing is not an accident or the fruit of a moment of inspiration when the muses guide the hands. A perfect drawing is the coordination of many factors, each of which must be carefully realized and skillfully embodied, as during a delicate surgical operation,” the author of this book is convinced.

If you strive to create perfect drawings, then you must definitely master the instructions of Andrew Loomis. The book contains chapters devoted to anatomy, planes, lighting, drawing live models, moving figures and costumes, and also contains the author’s reflections on the art and the position of the artist. Sketches and examples of his best works appear on almost every page. First published in 1943, this book is a reliable reference for artists who are improving their skills.
