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

As a learning series, this is perfect for the bidding professional artist and brilliant for a bookshelf display.

Having always had a passion for art, but never the ability to really do it myself, I was looking for a good introduction. Andrew Loomis' books (not just random YouTube tutorials on the "Loomis Method") are highly instructive and beginner friendly. For example, I can now draw a head with ease from any angle. Book quality was incredible too.

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!! :)

Son lived this book He was pleased with the content and it has helped him understand drawing concepts more thoroughly

A excellent set of books

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.

The delivery packaging was a little lazy and so the book covers were slightly creased but the books themselves are very high quality

Very good book, the printing is as if original not a facsimile.

Magnifique coffret, les dessins sont magnifiques, on peut voir la sensibilité de pression du crayon. Superbe édition! Les livres sont grands.

Receive the sealed whole package. A simple package design with the most famous Andrew Loomis on the basic technicalities of drawing human head, hands and figure drawing.

O box é muito bonito e em papelão bem reforçado. Os livros também tem uma ótima qualidade de impressão, com folhas de alta gramatura e capa dura com sobrecapa. Loomis é clássico, então tendo conseguido a compra com uma boa promoção valeu a pena. Apenas a embalagem e envio da Amazon deixou a desejar, porque amassou/esfolou um pouco uma quina do box, já que mandaram solto dentro de uma caixa de papelão maior junto com outros pedidos. A Amazon já empacotou melhor os pedidos no passado.

I bought the book for my daughter who can draw. I can't draw and the book probably would not help me but my daughter was instantly using it. The drawings look very good in the book and there are many explanations for how to start drawing. I am just not talented like my daughter is (and she asked me to buy the books so I trust them to be very good books).

Very good book and the method taught is still relevant today
