5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for any artist, February 12, 2002

Connie (Chicago IL, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Figure Drawing for All It's Worth (How to draw and paint) (Paperback)

I aquired mine thru an exboyfriends great aunt that was an artist. (7th printing Jan. 1945)

The sections on basic construction all the way thru shading, perspective, muscle structure, are all great! This book helped me out more than any of the figure drawing classe I've had... I highly recommend it, if you can find reprints, I suggest getting one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and Concise!, July 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Figure Drawing for All It's Worth (How to draw and paint) (Paperback)

This is one of the finest books on drawing I have ever read. It is a shame it is out of print. The section on how to construct a human figure without a model alone is worth the price of the book. Loomis is a past master (but the females do wear heels for some odd reason. It was the fifties, go figure!) Get a copy if at all possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book to get you started, August 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Figure Drawing for All It's Worth (How to draw and paint) (Paperback)

If you are a beginner, like myself, who wants to be able to draw humans from scratch without reference (or tracing) this is the book. Its much more then just figure drawing, it deals a great deal with how work should be approached, right attitude, and sets you in a right direction. Section on perspective is simply the best i have seen. As far as i hear every comic book pro recommends it as a must. Its worth every single penny.

This is an old book; the figures often wear outmoded hairstyles, the female nudes often are decked out in t-strap heels (who knows why?). Forget that, you won't care. Read more
