Best Resource for Anatomy... Ever? Thank you Mr. Loomis

I'm almost positive that this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it and thus, I'm posting it again.

Apparently, he passed away and his books are extremely rare/valuable/out-of-print.

These are by far the BEST books that I've ever read for figure drawing (Still not done; so much information... I have tons left to read), and they are all available for FREE (I doubt it's legal, but I also doubt that the publisher would care; it's out of print).

Everything that you'll ever need to know about the human body. I have the book Figure Drawing: For all it's Worth in a Microsoft Word format, if you want to print it out or want it in a more book-like format (so you don't have to click from page to page). (My email is videodragon@gmail.com and my MSNm name is videodragon20032003@yahoo.com)

These have been a huge help to me for the few hours that I've used them (so far). Happy drawing and good luck.

*Edit* Curses. I can not get the hang of these subforums. Sorry again. I'll try better next time. :nohope:

Thanks videodragon. The Loomis books are deservedly well known around these parts, but it's always great to hear the enthusiasm of a new convert. :rendered:

The best place to get all six books in PDF format is from acidkick:

Yes, we are so lucky to have been given a chance to study from such a master as he, for free!

D'oh! That would have saved me quite a bit of copying and pasting. :S

Regardless... I'm just so excited that people would donate their time toward scanning in every page and offer them for free.

Thank you so much, acidkick.
