This is the second Andrew Loomis book that publisher Titan Books has reprinted. Just like Figure Drawing for All It's Worth, this is a large format hardcover with a dust jacket. The production quality is excellent and it's a faithful reprint of the original content. There are 5 parts to the book. The first 4 parts covers the drawing of head for men, women, babies, kids and teenagers. The last part is on drawing hands. The instructions are insightful and simple to follow. Illustrated examples are beautiful. The section on drawing hands is not a lot but I guess still adequate enough. If you want a good book on drawing hands, check out Drawing Dynamic Hands by Burne Hogarth. It's great that this classic is reprinted because everyone can own one now. This is a great companion book to figure drawing books. Highly recommended.

Grab it here bois: Nice introduction to the method here from a solid YouTube artist: This book is all over YouTube rn, and for good reason. I'm an idiot for not having read this sooner. p19 - 'There must be a genuine basic motive behind any genuine effort ... Search quietly and thoroughly for this basic motive, because if it is powerful enough, it will give your efforts the strength to withstand discouragement, disappointment, disillusionment, or even seeming failure.' p103 - 'Let us say that art is truly a form of expression, and full expression cannot be limited by formula, but only guided toward greater meaning and truth.' I disagree very strongly with the authors closing recommendation that one attend an art school. In fairness, he recommends that one attend a 'good' art school, the problem being that there may not be any of these left if one wishes to actually learn how to draw, rather than throw poop at a canvas and call it 'art'.

Still working my way through it, so this review is a work in progress.
That's not the only thing that makes me an idiot, but it's one of the things.

There is a reason why Andrew Loomis is deemed one of the best artists on teaching the fundamentals of drawing. I've been exposed to his work for a while, but it was only until recently did I decide to read one of his books. Not only does Loomis break down the fundamentals of drawing, he explains WHY they are relevant and also adds great knowledge and experience on applying that knowledge to the working life of any artist. Given that a lot of his work has been built upon other artists after him, his advice might feel a bit outdated. But this is still a great book to keep around for anyone who is looking to improve their sensibilities and understanding of drawing.

Absolutely the best resource for learning to draw the human figure.

This is the fourth Loomis book that I've read, and I'd have to admit it's the least essential one that I've read yet. That's not to say that there is nothing of value here (not to mention more beautiful art by Loomis), but in terms of nuts and bolts drawing instruction on the subject of hands and heads, there isn't as much information to learn as you might get from "Creative Illustration" or "Figure Drawing." I'd recommend this book, but only if you've already started an Andrew Loomis section in your library first.

I think this book is a really good book for people who want to learn how to draw hands and heads and I like this book because it helps me get ideas of drawing and I really like the person who explains this.
I chose this book because I'm interested in art and drawing.
I learned how to draw head and hands from this book.

I love Loomis' books! They always offer in-depth understanding of every drawing subject! Portraits in this book are fascinating and I've not seen a book so detailed as this one on drawing different age groups. Highly recommended for portrait artists who don't want their works to look photographic, but at the same time beautiful in an artistic sense.
