Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis
Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis is The 3 stars are based in comparison to the other Loomis books which are excellent. This is why I reservedly only give it a 3. I was expecting much more actual drawing and this book seemed more sparse in information than the others. So while the book is useful and instructive it is more an add it to your Loomis collection. If you are new to the artist I would choose Figure Drawing or Creative Illustration.As far as complaints that the book is dated - it's from the 1940's. Doesn't mean you can't glean information from it or learn anything from that period.
Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis is The book itself is excellent. Lots of great information on how to draw the human face. It's from the 1940s, so the illustrations have a beautiful vintage look to them. If you want to get the printed version, it's a good investment.However . . . the Kindle version is a joke. It's actually a scanned version of someone's personal copy, complete with underlining! Not only that, but every page is an image, which you have to click on to view full-sized! It's absolutely horrible. I saw another Kindle version of this book (even cheaper) and it got pulled, I believe, because of complaints about it being a scanned copy of someone's used book. So I bought this one instead, but it's exactly the same! Unbelievable. I was a bit surprised that the Kindle edition was so much cheaper than the hardback copy, but apparently it's true---you get what you pay for. Now we know why it's so cheap!If you want to learn how to draw faces and hands, don't waste your money on the Kindle version. Save up for the actual book, which is a gem. I'm giving this four stars, because I don't believe it's fair to bring the entire book's rating down based on the moronic Kindle edition. But Amazon seriously needs to look into this.
Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis is An old warhorse that I am grateful has been reproduced as it has been the 'go to' book for so many artists, illustrators and animators. Once you have dinned the info in here into your head you'll have the basic tools to draw the head and hands in any position. It is not the magic bullet that a lot of Youtube commenters seem to be after ("What brush/pencil do you use?) - it is the start point for good drawing skills that will give your creativity a solid base to take off from.
Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis is One of the hands down best books on heads and hands you can find. I love Andrew's attitude of "don't just copy me, but use these lessons to discover your own style." A true master of his craft, this book (and all his books) have something to offer for the amateur and professional alike.
