So collect ’em all, folks! You won’t regret it. And what’s more, given the overall excellence of this reprint, the very best news is, the bottom corner of the back cover flap includes the following notice:

The good news is, the book arrived at my door about an hour ago! The better news is, Figure Drawing for All It’s Worth from Titan Books is exactly what any artist who is also a bibliophile would wish for in a Loomis reprint: hardcover, sewn binding, classic dustjacket, classic trim size (9.23 x 12.3 inches), excellent paper selection, crisp reproduction, and no silly additions. But I have to say that, right now, it’s looking pretty damn good!

Andrew loomis inkscape update#

I’ll certainly update this message if and when the book actually arrives at my door.

Well, I don’t have the book in my hands yet, but earlier today I received notification from that my order for “Figure Drawing for All It’s Worth” has shipped! Which is odd, because when I subsequently checked the record in the catalogue, the status of Loomis’s book was given as “Preorder Today! – Not Yet Released.” But apparently being “not yet released” is no hindrance to shipment via Canada Post! Heads Up: “Drawing the Head and Hands” by Andrew Loomis So before you order, you have nobody but yourself to blame if you haven’t already test-driven the content however, if you have already taken Loomis’s analytical concepts and encouraging words for a spin, and you have a notion that what Loomis has to offer will help you get where you want to go as an artist, now is definitely the time to buy, because I daresay that even if you are much, much younger than I am, you are unlikely to see better reprints of Loomis’s books in your lifetime - though if Titan Books also decides to publish softcover editions, you might, eventually, see slightly cheaper ones.
