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

Amazing product, bad packaging. I received the "Figure Drawing" book with a dent on one of the corners, but I bought the books for the content, not for display. The impact was powerful enough to dent the book and the protective sleeve that contains the two books. A bubble wrap would keep the expensive books from damaging and prevent them bouncing in the cardboard box.

There was nothing I didn’t like ❤️

I don't even normally write reviews BUT these books are absolutely second to none when it comes to improving your skills as an artists!! In my opinion the techniques Loomis demonstrates for us can be used for almost anything, there is far more to gain from these books than just being able to beautifully create people on the page. The way my art has improved thanks to this mans work has given me the confidence to believe in myself and has also blessed me with the ability to create things I didn't even think was imaginable at one time. Even my eye for painting (Which isn't discussed itself in the book) and quite simply sketching things has broadened more than imaginable. I feel like I can actually call myself an artist now thanks to my choice to dive into these books. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend these books to anyone experienced or not so experienced. (Also my girlfriend who is amazing at drawing and painting loves flipping through these too ahah) Did not find it too hard to read either for an old book that covers the details of technique!! Will be reading more of Loomis in future!! :)

Amazing, I bought it as a gift for my niece and the instruction and illustrations are perfect.

The books are very sturdy with amazing quality! They continue information that is Priceless

A very nice product. Satisfactory price and content. I recommend the purchase.

Bought this as a gift but they amazing, the illustrations and information are great for budding artists.

If you really wish to begin drawing heads, faces and bodies of female/male and children, these books are an easy way to learn. The Loomis technique is easy to follow, and these books have plenty of pictures and examples for practice. These two books are a little costly, I thought, but excellent tools to help the beginner better their drawing skills. Ideal for the people who like me, wish they had attended art college, years ago. These books would also make an excellent gift for anyone at any age who are taking up drawing/painting or attending Art College, they are money well spent. The illustrations are a little dated around 1950's 60's but still relevant today, after all the only thing that really changes regarding the human face and body, are clothes and hair styles. The pair of books come in a nice book binder, arrived quickly and well packaged to prevent damage in delivery. I have no complaints, and highly recommend them to other art minded pupils/students.
