How do you even learn anything from Loomis?

[Anonymous No.4506384]

His books are basically just "Here is some philosophical jibber jabber, here are some drawn examples, now go!".
There aren't actually any useful tips or instructions in his books, just technique and examples.

What's the point when you can't draw something similar on your own?

[Anonymous No.4506471]

Any method works if you just stick with it.
The reason why people swear certain methods don't work is because they probably kept jumping from one method to the other, never mastering anything.

You're supposed to copy the examples. It's the same fucking way everyone learns everything. Copy your parents. Copy your professor. Copy your coworkers. Do programmers pull code out of their ass? Do people just decide to lift weights without copying proper form?

This. Just copy all the drawings straight through, as much as you can.

[Anonymous No.4508941]

His books went out of print because nobody liked them and Bridgman had published his own decades earlier so why learn from the pupil when you can learn from the master?

The only reason anyone even knows about Loomis is because it coincided that his shit became library throwaways at the time p2p file sharing became a thing an anyone who searched for drawing on ares had nothing else to pick from in readable resolution for a while.
