The human head and hands are the most difficult elements in figure drawing, but world-class illustrator Andrew Loomis's classic primer offers the solution. Revered among artists – including the great Norman Rockwell and comics superstar Alex Ross – for his mastery of figure drawing and clean, realist style, Loomis's hugely influential art instruction books have never been bettered.
