"Incredible book. Makes me feel like I know nothing at all about wielding a pencil, but that I could be better with practice. The artwork is gorgeous and does pull you into the mindset that you can do this too."
"I am willing to go out on a limb and say that this maybe the greatest set of figure drawing instructions ever written. they way Loomis breaks down the human body into simple shapes is ingenious (my view of the pelvic bone was forever changed)
regrettably this book is currently out of print and sought after so if you come across a copy for less than 40 bucks I recommend snatching it up (I paid 65).
The examples of finished figure studies at the end are all pin-up style nude which is amusing and, to be honest, a little sexy. So that doesn't hurt either."
