So Andrew Loomis's figure drawing book just wasn't doing it for me as I need more anatomy reference in the book so is this one any good?

It's an ongoing meme that Loomis is some sort of demigod when it comes to drawing.
He isnt, he is mediocre at best and you should look for other books.

NAY! YOU WONT GET ME THAT EASILY FOPDOODLES

>It's an ongoing meme that Loomis is some sort of demigod when it comes to drawing.
I rarely see people hype up Loomis' actual drawing ability. I don't even often see people tout Loomis as the best learning material. It's suggested because his method is simple and intuitive for beginners. It makes sense, it covers the bases beginners need to cover, and it is a more convenient recommendation than "go read 'other books'" for someone starting out. Some resources are more detailed and useful for intermediates but are confusing with someone who has no baseline, it isn't useful for someone already trying to do that first hurdle.
Besides, what the fuck use is your advice compared to someone going "Loomis"?
Telling someone to read Loomis at least gives them a direction. Telling someone "look for other books" is flat out worthless.
>>2395051
You are worthless.
>>2395058
Well I got fucking rekt guess I need some ice for that burn.
>>2395072
To be honest man I was trolling and I agree with your points
It's a good anatomy book, just not the best for beginners just starting out.
>>2395037
funny, after a month of waiting, this book can be bought again on amazon today.
>>2395037
Loomis is entry level
Hampton is middle-level
Bridgman is top-level (even tho he leaves out the erector spinae)
Spend time with them in that order.
That book more just translates anatomy into simpler shapes and forms. If you're brand new to studying anatomy, you'll probably want a good, more detailed, anatomy book on the side to be able to make real use of Hampton's.
Pic related is a wonderful, thorough anatomy book. It also translates everything into simple shapes, but not in anywhere near as much detail on that point as Hampton's - that balance is sort of inversed, so they complement each other well. One to learn the mechanics and complexity, the other to simplify that information into something manageable and bring it to life.
Fuck all of your Villpus, Loomis, Hamptons and Bridgemans.
This combines all of them:

>>2395037
this book isn't about anatomy. it's about figure drawing.
>>2395703
Is it really the same book?

Doesn't look like it at all.
Thanks for the trouble though.

Russian here
Can confirm that this is not the same book.
Makes me wonder if I could make a translation of it (as a hobby), but wonder if that would be of any benefit to you.
>>2395600
this is the most underrated drawbook! mad art gainz will come to you if you follow it
>>2395725
I don't think you should do something like this for free, unless you think it would benefit you in any way.

Nice try. This book is shit and was literally destroyed by one of the best art school in Russia

you can change language and read this article
>>2395589
Have you gone through her other book "Classic Human Anatomy in Motion"?
>>2395215
Wow,
I like this idea for a character
>>2395946
read through the thing, but i cant figure out whats wrong with it? you pick the book, assimilate the visual language you like and thats it... there is no way that could hurt yu
>>2396067
This book written be human who draw worse than second-year student.
>>2396127
Which one worth more:
Teacher's opinion who taught people draw like picrelated and who doesn't talk shit about Vilppu, Watts, Huston
or
comments from girls, retards and trolls
?
Glenn Vilppu, bruv.

Are you retarded? This image clearly communicates the point of breaking down every surface into a planes, even if it's a round and smooth sphere.

>>2395037
It's really good, I think it's a very nice update to the old texts.
>>2395037
I found after going through it it made the Loomis books easier to get.
>>2399306
This is what I have been wondering. I have the loomis pdf but his design and wording is a pain to read.
>>2399302
i dont get it
>>2396742
It's on vk if you dont mind pdf version.
>>2395600
is that one in english ?
>>2399617
I'm the anon you replied to. I come from Brigdman and I have never really liked Loomis 'cause his books have that kind of 50's advertisement art in mind.
The approach in Hampton's book is similar to Bridgman's, focused on construction and how things work mechanically, very picture-based. I think it's a very good book if you like that hands-on approach where there's a lot of explanatory pictures of joints and stuff.
