 | | 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. |
