  Andrew Loomis Biography
Loomis was born in 1892 in Syracuse, New York.
I use the phrase "ever-popular" advisedly as by 1973 the book was in its 25th printing, and the fact that I sold so many copies is due to the continued demand from artists, young and old, who want to take advantage of the seminal content.
The importance of this title in the Loomis canon can't be emphasized enough, and students are still clamoring for copies, with prices over $100 on even the most available titles.

 CGTalk - Andrew Loomis
What Loomis teaches is very practical and to the point for people that want to learn the nuts and bolts of what makes good illustration.
Loomis was a successful and respected commercial artist, so his teachings are along the line of commercial illustration.
Loomis on the other hand, teaches you those other things--which are extremely important to anyone that wants to not just draw or paint, but be able to express beauty and tell stories too.

This biography from the Archives of AskART: (William) Andrew Loomis was an illustrator, teacher and creator of "how-to-do-books" on drawing and painting for illustrators, like Viking Press publications Fun with a Pencil, 1939, Figure Drawing for All It's Worth, 1943, and Creative Illustration, 1947.
Loomis' last book, Eye of the Painter and Elements of Beauty, posthumously published in 1961 (he died in 1959), unlike his earlier instruction books, is filled with examples of fine art, but little of his own work.
Loomis was born in 1892 in Syracuse, New York, growing up in Zanesville, Ohio.

As I understand it, Loomis actually *created* ball/sphere-based construction for heads, printed in Fun With A Pencil circa 1939- and I see no evidence to contradict this.
Loomis found a way to bring these challenges into the realm of the achievable for amateurs, with a text that, while a bit old fashioned in style, feeds the drawing brain.
Drawing the Head and Hands can be for any artist a formitable tasks, but Andrew Loomis has taken away some that difficulty by writing and illustrating this book.
