I first came upon the name Andrew Loomis when I was delving into the world of vintage romance comics. I have a deep appreciation for the fine arts and illustration. So, when the name Andrew Loomis made it's way into my path, I quickly found his artwork mesmerizing. He is a mid-century artist best known for his how to draw books. He is an excellent example of an artist able to capture the beauty and glamour of mid-century ideals. Andrew Loomis was an American illustrator who was famous for his books on drawing, composition, and illustration. He taught at the American Academy of Art but is most famous for his "how to" drawing books. You can certainly see that he understood the human form. His perspective and light and shadow contrast studies are just amazing. He is a great reference tool for the study of composition in general. You could (can) even learn a lot about placement of subject matter within compositions by looking at some of his "how to" books. I thought these quotes by Andrew Loomis were quite interesting: "Every good picture should show a main focal point and all lines should draw toward that spot." "There should be a planned easy and natural path for the eye to travel in every good picture." "The eyes should enter at the bottom and emerge at the top-never at the sides, since corners are "Eyetraps" because of their junction to lead the eye away from or around them." There is so much psychology in the study of composition. It's a fascinating topic. He also discusses which times of lines and forms can elicit emotional responses such as peace, patriotism, stability, power, security, attention, love, etc. A favorite quote from Loomis: "Imagination is contagious, mood is contagious, and the spirit behind a picture is ninety per cent of the picture." I'd like to share with you a few of his illustrations. You can find his books in vintage form and also reprints. Figure Drawing For All It's Worth published first in 1943 seems to be the most popular. Loomis died in 1959. Here is a link to many of his books. Isn't this quote fascinating? How "Every artist should subscribe to fashion magazines. They are the best possible source for practice material." Source here.

I'm a stylist, painter, henna artist and art therapy student from Lithuania and I present to you my social art project [NO]LIFE. It was created together with a professional photographer Enrika Samulionyte. The original idea for the project was a makeover photoshoot with ordinary women (not models),who we are used to seeing while going about our day-to-day business.

Drawing and especially illustrating the human body is considered to be the toughest art form. Who blames a passionate newbie for not being able to draw just a perfect human body. There are, after all, expressions and body shapes, color and complexion, mood and dress code to think about what must be portrayed correctly in the drawing before calculating HOW TO DRAW BODY SHAPES. Of course, you won't like a dancing ballerina girl with no smile or an innocent baby with devil eyes. Jokes apart! You have to not only consider the personality features and bodily characteristics but also the age of human being that changes the body proportion changing the size of body parts accordingly.
