About this deal

All in all, a great tool for the artist that wants to move from the low intermediate to high intermediate. Fun with a Pencil is a really awesome introductory drawing book for people who have little to no experience with figure drawing or basic techniques. Those are fine to look at, but the physical book is far,far batter for reference and to compare and consider approaches to drawing.

This book was also my first look at the Loomis method of constructing the head, which I will be learning more about as I read his other books. The reverse side has some tape reinforcement along the top and bottom and the folds as well as several careful paper repairs to the spine tips. I personally was way too advanced for this particular book and found it to be a little too silly and immature for the kind of art I create so I had to give it a lower rating. Though a little complex to read, this would still be a good “rare book find” gift for a budding artist.

Because as a youngster you probably scribbled on Mother's woodwork and wallpaper, in your school books, and on the back fence. With delightful step-by-step instruction from Professor Blook, Loomis's charming alter ego on the page. While I mostly just scanned/gleaned through this, I do think this has a lot of decent material concerning some fundamentals of art while encouraging creativity, which is really good for beginners at any age from heads, posing, and perspective. The explanations are clear and easy to follow and can greatly improve someone's ability to draw people in a very short period of time. brown cloth, 120 pp, covers a bit worn with some adhesion marks on front cover, extremities bumped and fraying, hinges loose, contents (esp end papers) toned else a nice copy in worn, edge torn and edge chipped dust jacket.

I loved the section on facial expressions and how he encourages drawing from the imagination through the use of the basic construction framework. from the librarian with glasses on the nose to the African-American man with lips the size of Australia. Fun With A Pencil How Everybody Can Easily Learn to Draw, Vintage copy of this classic work on pencil drawing by the foremost illustrator of his time. I'm reading here that people don't think this is a good book for beginners, but I started with this book and learned how to draw well from the techniques.This one is fun, but loaded with practical information on how to upgrade your feeble attempts to draw what want to illustrate your ideas.

This book covers how to draw with volumes , keeping proportion, technical perspective and shadow and light. Results of figure drawings require at least some knowledge of anatomy, not possible with information presented in book alone. That being said anything Andrew Loomis does is classic and provides a pretty solid foundation for those who don't know where to start. it's also just fun to look through, the drawings and sketches have so much 20th-century character to them it's fun to see the creative process behind such charicatures.

Page edges browned, pages lightly browned but very clean, no markings, minor foxing to endpages, binding strong. Rereleased in 2013 (along with another of Loomis' books, 2012 rerelease, Successful Drawing, 1951) this 1939 classic drawing / design book is a skill-building, principal-conveying fun resource for artists and creative types from all areas who seek to learn and master artistic fundamentals.
