Hi guys! I've just downloaded this book, and it looks interesting. Just wanted anyone who has it to comment on it. Did it help you? I'm planning on starting on it tomorrow Wink

I'm not sure if it helped me much, cos I don't draw alot nowadays... but it sure is a cool book. Some interesting stuff in there. I can't imagine it not helping in some way. The fact that it breaks things down to the simplets forms (I'm talking about the faces section) is great because it makes you realise that drawing isn't that hard afterall.

It is a very good Book as all Loomis books.
The faces section is the best indeed. It will help you for sure!

I guess it's pretty good book to start studying drawing. It's nicely written and it has many fun exercises. And actually suprising amount of important basic information on drawing.

Last month I just found a used Fun with a pencil for 10 euros in perfect condition! Since that I've been trying to keep my eyes open for other Loomis treasures aswell.
