Revered among artists - including the great Norman Rockwell and
comics superstar Alex Ross - for his mastery of figure drawing and
clean, realist style, Loomis's hugely influential art instruction
books have never been bettered.
Hailed by the American Academy of
Art as "one of the most brilliant contributions that figure drawing
has ever received" Loomis's books are packed with beautiful
examples to help you master anatomy and capture the human form at
any age, in movement and at rest.
For the first time, this
attractive box set collects two of Loomis' most popular works to
create the ultimate guide to drawing the human body. This set is
perfect for students, amateur artists, and professionals alike.
During his career as one of America's most sought-after
illustrators, Andrew Loomis (1889-1959) taught at the American
Academy of Art in Chicago, and in 1939 he codified his lessons in
his first manual, "Fun with a Pencil." Four years later it had
already been through six printings, and he followed up over the
next two decades with a series of even more successful how-to books
that remain the gold standard for artists to this day.
"Creative Illustration" is considered Loomis's magnum opus, which
was aimed primarily at the professional-level illustrator. Divided
into seven sections: Line, Tone, Color, Telling the Story, Creating
Ideas, Fields of Illustration, and Experimenting and Studies, this
book is filled with instructions, tips, insider experiences, and
incredible illustrations.
