Drawing the Head and Hands & Figure Drawing (Box Set)

Description

At last, Andrew Loomis's two definitive guides to anatomical drawing are available in one attractive and collectible box set. This box set combines two beautifully bound facsimile editions faithfully reproducing Loomis' definitive guides to drawing human anatomy, ideal for beginners and masters alike. The human head and hands are the most difficult elements in figure drawing, but world-class illustrator Andrew Loomis's classic primer, Drawing the Hands and Head, offers the solution. 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. For nearly 70 years Figure Drawing For All It's Worth has provided a seminal course covering all the techniques needed to master drawing the figure. Hailed by the American Academy of Art as "one of the most brilliant contributions that figure drawing has ever received" Loomis's book is packed with beautiful examples to help you master anatomy and capture the human form at any age, in movement and at rest.

One of the great commercial illustrators of the 40s and 50s, Andrew Loomis books are classics in the genre and highly sought after by commercial illustrators, comic book artists and concept artists alike. "Loomis's realistic approach infected me with the desire to make all my work, comics and otherwise, fully believable."-- Alex Ross, Mythology
