Thanx Lazrath, you have helped me a lot too.

If anybody got more from Loomis, please let me know [email protected] and I ll upload it to fineart.sk so everyone could learn from this great master....

the cover , list of content and opening chat is avaible at the www.saveloomis.org but every body knows that. But is this site still alive? and when will this great book be avaible to download ?

I don't believe it, I'm too late. LazRath, can you please open again this link to "Creative Illustration"? I spent so much time searching this book. As prismacolor935 said, 300 Dollars are exorbitant for a used copy.

And dzieki to oDD for the saveloomis-link. Maybe I am the only one on earth who didn't know this.

Thanks for your help!

That was a really fast reaction. Thanks a lot. The book is great... I don't understand, why it is no longer printed.

Greetings, francmidi

There is first 79 pages on www.fineart.sk and I am going to upload "drawing heads and hands" soon

btw, for those living in/near sydney, the Art Gallery of NSW has a copy of that "drawing heads and hands" by Andrew Loomis.

Go take a look if you're interested. Photocopying's a little pricey, though.

btw, finearts.sk rocks. period

levi, is there a zip of the images available, because rightclick saveas ok times 80 = mindnumbing boredom

if not, it's okay, and thanks for posting it at all.

Levijuice · Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2002 10:38 am

Vesuvius : I am not going to upload any ZIP files now, however there is on nice trick I am using on similar pages

download free trial of "express web pictures" or some similar tool http://www.express-soft.com/ and navigate this soft to right folder and it will download every picture for you

, creative illustration is in folder : http://www.fineart.sk/loomis

Some great news

, I ve found one great guy that is sending me all pages from "creative illustration" together with "fun with pencil" and "succesfull drawing" right now, so its looks like Fineart will have ALL books from Loomis soon, and these looks really great, it looks like I will not sleep tonight, instead reading and drawing

.
So one more thanks to girl that sent me "Heads and hands" and to Grinner that sent the rest

.

Loomis rules. Levijuice, thank you so much for sharing! And thanks to everyone who contributed to the page collection! The time and effort are much appreciated!

$300 for a used copy??? Shit I had no idea!
I have an original Loomis book that got water damaged 15 years ago (REALLY BAD), so I went ahead and photocopied the whole book. Over time it was lost, but I have the whole book in a 3 ring binder, as the pages yellowed I just recopied them. Now with photoshop, I never thought to redo the grayscale level to clean them up. Hell and put it on CD.

Thanks for the idea, its called "Drawing for all its worth" its 210 pages around.
