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. Containing Drawing the Head and Hands and Figure Drawing for All It's Worth , this set is perfect for students, amateur artists, and professionals alike. Review: Written by a great teacher and illustrator. - The rave reviews are true; there’s a lifetime of outstanding technical-artistic “realism” expertise offered to the reader in the Loomis books. Loomis knew how to phrase, illustrate and structure his material with such clarity and depth that these books are unequalled even now. In short, he was a consummate professional illustrator who could really teach. I am a bit incredulous of the way practically every page is loaded with “the good stuff.” No watered down content that wastes your time; turn a page, get smarter. (I exclude the stuffy, pedantic phraseology of the Introductions, although the actual content there can be good) The material is so ingeniously presented that you can even gain insight on techniques you already employ, just by way of Loomis’ unique illustration or apt phrasing. The books all together are overwhelming, but worth it: page after page of the proverbial lightbulb going off over your head. It’s a good trip. Yes, there are some dated, non-feminist or non-diverse cultural relics of the 1940’s, but it’s not mean-spirited; IMHO if you can handle 1940’s and 50’s movie classics (think “Casablanca” or “It’s a Wonderful Life”), you can handle the Loomis books. I take this perspective as a multi-cultural, feminist liberal, creative professional. Of course, opinions will understandably differ, but I think we shouldn’t dump these books because of the 1940’s cultural angle. Loomis seems like a nice guy inspired to teach his hard-earned expertise, and he was a great illustrator. Personally, I love his drawings, and I had a lot of fun going through all of his books......even if the female nudes always wore 1940’s Hollywood high-heels. Haha! To sum up: if you’re looking for solid instruction in realistic drawing techniques, this Loomis book (and the series of books) is worth your investment of time and money. It’s true especially if you don’t have much of either and need to target only “the good stuff.” Review: Fantastic books with tips from a master. - Great books. I think I now have all of the Andrew Loomis drawing books. If you want to buy these for children, you have to be advised to go to a library and preview them for age appropriate content. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #14,751 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Human Figure Art (Books) #12 in Pencil Drawing #14 in Figure Drawing Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 974 Reviews | ## Images ![Drawing the Head and Hands & Figure Drawing (Box Set) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NaqsivklL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Written by a great teacher and illustrator. *by I***E on August 9, 2021* The rave reviews are true; there’s a lifetime of outstanding technical-artistic “realism” expertise offered to the reader in the Loomis books.

I see so many portrait artists and figurative painters posting videos using this method or some version of it. Very understandable. Great manuals for figurative drawing, portraits. Illustrations are large, books are well made. ## Frequently Bought Together - Drawing the Head and Hands & Figure Drawing (Box Set) - Perspective Made Easy (Dover Art Instruction) - Successful Drawing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/202392429-drawing-the-head-and-hands-and-figure-drawing-box-set](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/202392429-drawing-the-head-and-hands-and-figure-drawing-box-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
