A great, FREE resource for beginners

Post by PCGuarino »

Hello, hello

I have had this site bookmarked for about a year, and I had forgotten about it until the other day when I pulled it up and remembered how useful it is.

http://www.yoyodyne.net/loomis/

It's called the Loomis project, after Andrew Loomis, an artist with a gift for figure drawing. In any event the site has his entire book, around 204 pages, as a number of gif files. The book is excelent, one of the better figure drawing publications out there. If you are having trouble with proportions, definately check this out. I have seen a number of strips with arms that only reach the waist, or characters that look 18 feet tall in reference to head size. This can help you fix all that. It may seem large and scary at first, but just go to the thumbnail section and pick a few pages to study. It should help emmensly. Hopefully a few of you will check this out.

Cool....i'll go through it later...now it's late. It should help, as when I draw my people look screwed up. Hence I'm not the artist for our comic.
