Andrew Loomis wrote art-instruction books that remain closely associated with figure drawing, anatomy, composition and commercial illustration. Figure Drawing for All It's Worth teaches proportion, mannequins, anatomy, balance and the construction of the human figure from simple masses. Drawing the Head and Hands narrows the focus to facial structure, features, expressions and hands, while Creative Illustration covers composition, tone, colour, storytelling and the practical demands of illustration work.

They fit figure drawing, anatomy, illustration and classical drawing instruction. Read more Less
