Product Description

A classic how-to-draw book featuring helpful images as well as in-depth art theory from a legendary illustrator and major influence for comic book and graphic novel artists

Famous for his mastery of figure drawing and clean, Realist style, illustrator Andrew Loomis (1892-1959) is revered amongst classic artists like the great American painter Norman Rockwell and comics and graphic novel artists like Marvel and DC superstar Alex Ross.

This in-depth manual for drawing the human head and hands features helpful reference information, theory, and illustrations, with steps for:

- Identifying differences and similarities in creating heads between genders and age ranges
- Children's heads from infancy to the teenaged years
- The basic block forms and proportions for bones and muscle, head tilts, perspective, and indicating character and expression
- Mechanics of the mouth, eyes, and lips, and how to construct noses and ears
- Hands of all ages and genders including foreshortening, the hand in action, knuckles, and fingers

With everything you need to know to draw like a pro, this 2nd installment in the facsimile editions series returns Loomis' highly influential series of art instruction books to print for the first time in decades.
