Andrew Loomis Libros

Andrew Loomis fué un maravilloso ilustrador norteamericano, al que tristemente no se le conoce por su obra o trabajo propiamente dicho sino por su gran obra didactica de maravillosos libros que publicó a lo largo de su vida sobre técnicas de dibujo y más específicamente sobre la construcción de la figura humana incluyendo la perspectiva.Sin duda fué el gran maestro de muchos de nosotros que gracias a él aprendimos a dibujar con rigor, especialmente la figura humana en general y el retrato en particular.

During his career as one of America's most sought-after illustrators, Andrew Loomis (1889-1959) taught at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and in 1939 he codified his lessons in his first manual, Fun with a Pencil. Four years later it had already been through six printings, and he followed up over the next two decades with a series of even more successful how-to books that remain the gold standard for artists to this day. Creative Illustration is considered Loomis's magnum opus, which was aimed primarily at the professional-level illustrator. Divided into seven sections: Line, Tone, Color, Telling the Story, Creating Ideas, Fields of Illustration, and Experimenting and Studies, this book is filled with instructions, tips, insider experiences, and incredible illustrations.

Andrew Loomis (1892-1959) is revered amongst artists - including comics superstar Alex Ross - for his mastery of drawing. His first book, Fun With a Pencil, published in 1939 is a wonderfully crafted and engaging introduction to drawing, cartooning, and capturing the essence of a subject all while having fun. With delightful step-by-step instruction from Professor Blook, Loomis's charming alter ego on the page.
