Hey ic which loomis books should I get? Any others I need?

Fun with a Pencil can be skipped but all of them are good. Although I personally find FDFAIW to be a bit bloated and technical at times. As just a general figure drawing book I prefer Hamm.

What order to read them in?

Drawing the Head and Hands by Loomis is the best, Figure Drawing is also a must.

What this image lacks is a reasoning section why he went with these books and why this method is better than any other. I don't see great masters making such clearcut suggestions.

I want to read this, but most of the free time I have to read is when I'm at the campus. think I'll be taken out for public indecency for having this, even if I remove the outer cover?

There is also a naked woman on the cover underneath the outer cover.

This is so redundant. You only need one figure drawing book and color and light and skillful huntsman are meme books.

How to Draw
How to Render
Framed Ink
Figure Drawing (any)
Head and Hands

that's all

My main problem is I'm too autistic to sit and fucking read through these books. I own the color one, and I don't want to read paragraphs. I do best when it's mostly images and random notes.

Then you aren't serious about getting better. It is just that simple.
