A final message to the readers

A drawing book that teaches you how to draw faces and hands clearly and easily.

Andrew Loomis, author of "Drawing the Human Figure: Easy," which has become a standard for portraiture, now focuses on how to draw faces and hands.
Drawing the face and hands, which are the core parts of portraiture, is essential for artists.
It will help you build a solid foundation for drawing faces and hands, from basic structures to detailed details, and help you find your own way of expressing yourself.

Systematically explains how to draw faces and hands by type.

Loomis says, “When you draw a head, you don’t really draw it until you feel the unseen side of it.”
In Drawing Faces and Hands, Loomis applies basic compositional principles to illustrate a variety of models of all ages, including men, women, babies, children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly.
In addition, it details the universal characteristics of each type and shows how to express the individuality of each type model.

Even the most difficult hand drawing requires understanding the principles first.

Hands, along with the face, are the parts that detail the character's emotions and personality.
But drawing hands realistically is not an easy task.
Additionally, it is difficult to find material that covers hand drawing in detail.
In this book, Loomis begins with the compositional principles of drawing hands and goes on to detail how to draw realistically.
