Creative Illustration

This book carries Andrew Loomis teachings a step further, and shows in his notably clear manner how to put art to work; how to proceed from merely delineating a figure to telling a story or selling a product. The fundamentals of illustration are clarified by gradual steps, beginning with line and then moving on to tone and color, the author shows how to use these three fundamentals to create pictures. Then on to the ideas, the emotion, the psychology behind the picture, finally he gives a practical analysis of the various fields open to the illustrator. The book ends with a discussion of experiment and study. This book will serve the fine artist [drawing and painting methods and approach] as well as the commercial artist, and art students.
