    A popular standard in learning to draw heads from memory...
  

*by E***M on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2006*

...for beginners & intermediates in ability. It's 32 pages taken from several of his original books- easily my favorite Loomis collection!In recent decades there have been 3 main teachers in learning to draw heads from memory. For cube-based construction we have George Bridgman. For ball/sphere-based construction we have Andrew Loomis. And for oval/ellipse-based construction, we have the famous teacher of the Dynamic Drawing series- comicbook artist Burne Hogarth. Many of today's Japanese animation & comicbook instructionals are using these very same principles, along with some of the teachings by the Famous Artists School. My current interest is in oval & cube-based construction, but it's Loomis' famous *ball/sphere-based* construction here that many people consider to be the BEST. All artists, from beginners to even professionals(!), could easily benefit in learning these 3 popular standards.In any case, this is a great work *in pencil* on heads of all kinds. All popular aspects of construction are covered: men, women, children, teens, elderly, fashion-models, proportions, rythmic lines, planes, anatomy, bone structure, simple lines & shapes, perspective, common actions, expressions, clear line drawings, and even full-blown tonal studies (whew!). That's a lot in just 32 pages. It's all done in a classic mid-20th century style, similar to Jack Hamm's excellent Drawing The Head And Figure. My favorite pages here are p.26, p.27, and p.30, because these are his clearest & most detailed pure line drawings- exceedingly great to copy & learn from. A tremendous help for anyone interested in learning to draw from memory- get this great book today!P.S. ...just to update: this reviews page used to be linked to 2 Loomis books. The 1st is his slim & tall, 32-page Walter Foster paperback collection currently entitled Drawing: The Head (HT197). This HT197 guide was also known as Heads/2. My review is for this Walter Foster collection. The 2nd book this reviews page had been linked to was Loomis' original hardcover called Drawing the Head and Hands; a full-blown book- more than 32 pages. The real reason these 2 books had shared these reviews is that the shorter, Walter Foster collection takes a few pages from several books, mainly pages from this full-blown Drawing the Head and Hands.As I understand it, Loomis actually *created* ball/sphere-based construction for heads, printed in Fun With A Pencil circa 1939- and I see no evidence to contradict this. And today it's one of the most popular methods around. His books being out of print confuses many! That's why I give this 5 stars: instead of slamming Walter Foster's publications for their lack of completeness, we should thank them for keeping Loomis' name alive(!). If it weren't for this Drawing: The Head collection, I might never have given his Figure Drawing For All It's Worth a chance. Now I have both- and I consider that a good thing.

    An abbreviated version of the original Book (not a "volume 2")
  

*by A***W on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2023*

I thought this was a 2nd volume or part 2 to the Andrew Loomis DRAWING THE HEAD AND HANDS, it is actually the 2nd volume in the publishers drawing series (with volume 1 being by a different author not Andrew Loomis).  Maybe I didn't read the description carefully enough but it reads like it is a companion to the main Loomis book (it's actually an abbreviation from that book...and possibly pages from other Loomis books).  I don't want to imply it is somehow substandard to not worth the purchase, just that the way it is listed implied something else to me.
