He was one of the first to explain proportions and other fundamentals and teach how to do it clearly in a way that's easily digestible for /beg/s. A lot of later art teachers who would print their own books and make their own courses literally got started by reading Loomis. There's really nothing about his books in particular that's unique because a of lot of newer stuff is just copy-and-pastes of his methods. The real benefit of learning from Loomis and all the old masters is that all their shit is free and easily accessible while the new guys who are just repackaging Loomis, Bridgman, Jack Hamm, etc. are asking you to pay for their paywalled courses.

What's the best Loomis book?

Why are you shunning your Japanese superiors?

>are creating some really interesting out of the box creative stuff that is an amalgam of influences from every country due to internet access
Which is ironic because the non-western artists they're copying learn from the same canon of Western art they deride and believe is outdated. Even Japanese animators and professional mangaka read Loomis, Bridgman, and Jack Hamm.

Wrong. Bridgman is exactly where every /beg/ who wants to figure draw should start. Loomis is who's /int/ tier, and Jack Hamm is /adv/.

Why do so many people who want to draw anime duck fundies like the plague despite actual professionals of their favorite medium advising newbies to read Loomis and grind fundies?

The only memes are you shitty frog and your life

>There is a reason japanese people are known to be very original, they don't copy shit loomis heads
And people wonder why there's been such a big anti anime push on /ic/ outside of the obvious 2016 tourist
