Fun With A Pencil by Andrew Loomis Review

BOOKS – Fun With A Pencil by Andrew Loomis Review

I’m all about encouraging people to draw who don’t know how to draw.  So you’d think I’d be all for a book like this.

I love Andrew Loomis’ work.  I think he’s awesome.  I love many of his books.

Although this book says a ton of great things, I don’t think I’d recommend it for beginners. I talk about why in this video.

Successful Drawing by Andrew Loomis Review

BOOKS/VIDEO – Successful Drawing by Andrew Loomis Review

Andrew Loomis wrote a lot a books.  I really like Andrew Loomis’ work.  I’m a big fan.  However, not all of this books are essential reading. Some of what he wrote in some books are better covered in other books.

In this video, I review Loomis’ book, Succesful Drawing.

Is this one of the books you should buy, or can you get the same info in a different book.  Who’s this book best for?

I answer these questions in the video.

Capturing Value From Your Reference: Tips And Approach

VIDEOS/ART- Capturing Value From Your Reference: Tips And Approach

If you’re drawing from reference and you begin shading, only to have your drawing come out…less than natural looking, you’re not alone.  When you’re learning to add rending, this is a very common thing.

The question is, what can you do about it? What are you not seeing? What are you doing wrong?

In this video I try to give you tips that will capture the look that you’re looking for. Here I’ll cover:

  • How we see
  • Line vs tone
  • The steps you need to do before you begin rendering
  • Breaking up your values simply
  • Seeing planes.
  • The rules of thumb about shading the light areas vs the dark areas.
