During his career as one of America's most sought-after illustrators, Andrew Loomis (1889-1959) taught at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and in 1939 he codified his lessons in his first manual, Fun with a Pencil. Four years later it had already been through six printings, and he followed up over the next two decades with a series of even more successful how-to books that remain the gold standard for artists to this day.Creative Illustration is considered Loomis's magnum opus, which was aimed primarily at the professional-level illustrator. Divided into seven sections: Line, Tone, Color, Telling the Story, Creating Ideas, Fields of Illustration, and Experimenting and Studies, this book is filled with instructions, tips, insider experiences, and incredible illustrations. Review: Excellent - Little Expensive but book is awesome and I love Andrew loomis's all the books. Thanks Review: Awesome book for illustrators. - The book is meant for artists who have achieved certain level of skills in drawing and are looking to become an illustrator. If you are beginner then kindly look for other Loomis books that have been specially made for beginners. Titles such as Succesfull Drawing, Figure Drawing For All Its Worth, Drawing Heads and Hands etc would be suitable. The book is nicely written for advanced artists and a must buy.

Must have
Omg! I am in love with this book. It’s a must have to study composition, perspective, shapes, light etc... after seven years of break I wanted to start my work again in design and illustration so this book is like something I really need. Very detailed and informative. If you really want something that can actually help you push in right direction so must buy this book and I am considering to buy other books by Andre Loomis!

So Retro!
A coffee table book that gives great art illustration instruction! Love that it's vintage. Love that this amazing artist from long ago cared enough to help other artists. I honestly put clear adhesive book cover on the dust cover. Because this book deserves to be pampered! So interesting, so retro. Love it!

Très intéressant
Un des livres D'Andrew Loomis qui nous donne une approche du dessin plus pointue. La collection se complète. Un de mes meilleurs livres.
