The illustrator Andrew Loomis (1892-1959) is revered among artists - including comics superstar Alex Ross - for his mastery of figure drawing and clean, Realist style. His hugely influential series of art instruction books have never been bettered, and "Figure Drawing" is the first in Titan's programme of facsimile editions, returning these classic titles to print for the first time in decades.
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.
Andrew Loomis was born in 1892. After studying art, he moved to Chicago, eventually opening his own studio, working in editorial and advertising for most of the top clients of the time including Kellogg's, Coca Cola, Lucky Strike, and more. He also became renowned as an art teacher and his instructional books on illustration and art are acclaimed classics in the field. He died in 1959.
"My entire approach to drawing and painting superheroes owes its genesis to Loomis' work." (Alex Ross)"
