Figure Drawing for All It’s Worth by William Andrew Loomis

figure_6_lg.jpg

Figure Drawing, a book intended for beginning commercial artists, was in every way more ambitious than Fun with a Pencil.
Loomis’ approach to geometry, proportion and perspective as well as balance, rhythm and movement was as lucid and essential as anything ever published on the subject. It was a classic of illustration. The American Academy of Art even called it “one of the most brilliant contributions that figure drawing has ever received.” - - via Codex

{As a boy, I studied this book very, very carefully. }
