Lombi asked this question on the artcone forums: Here is a collection of Andrew Loomis books that you can download for free on the net. Andrew is (well, was) an amazingly talented illustrator and he published several books to help fellow artists to learn to draw.

These books are great… I used to have them and it’s hard to find in New York City.
I feel lucky that I found this site to enjoy them, once again.
thanks!!

I highly recommend these books…Since I have done work in the Comics industry, it comes
in handy.
Classic illustrations, with good light and shadow techinques.
Excellent stuff.
