For nearly 70 yearsFigure Drawing For All It's Worthhas provided a seminal course covering all the techniques needed to master drawing the figure. Hailed by the American Academy of Art as "one of the most brilliant contributions that figure drawing has ever received" Loomis's book is packed with beautiful examples to help you master anatomy and capture the human form at any age, in movement and at rest.
"My entire approach to drawing and painting superheroes owes its genesis to Loomis' work." (Alex Ross)"
