It’s the only loomis book that is not in those Megan’s or in the “save loomis” page.

It even has some extra info by Alex Ross.

Does anyone have it?

It goes way deeper into the basics than the FWAP one.
It even includes sketching techniques.

alright so i went through the russian pdf and it seems to like this might have become a much better introductory book than fun with a pencil...
but a lot of the sketches exampls etc are super rough

Why wasn't this scanned instead of FWAP? This one seems far more useful.

I checked the other Russian Loomis books besides I'd Love To Draw.
The scan quality is great. Are these officially localized e-books or something?

Maybe we could replace the old shitty scans we have with the digital english ones.

The russian editions are apparently from 2016 so it may explain why it looks so good compared to old scans of used books. I don't know about more recent english versions.

Yes, I know these came from the 2016 editions.
I was asking if these digital versions were actually made by the Russian publisher itself, and if there are official digital English versions too if that's the case.

Even more /beg/ oriented than Fun With a Pencil? Perfect for /ic/ but ya'll will still complain.

I searched for an english version but failed so it is possible that only the russian version exists: not all his books have english Kindle version and those which do are notoriously bad in quality. The russian version is digitized by Литpec (Litres, leader in digital books on russian market) and quality is obviously quite superior.

>> No.4017435

Oh well, it's a shame because the current english scans are in dire need of an update, specially the Creative Illustration one.

Alex Ross had a hand in this? What did he even do?
He didn't even changed the placeholder images Loomis was gonna redraw for the final release.
Was this supposed to be a facsimile of the prototype book?

>> No.4020853

>>4020820
The book was never finished. It's a collection of Loomis' notes for what the book was planned to be.

>> No.4020933

I'm asking why Alex Ross was involved at all if he wasn't even gonna improve or finish the book in any way.
