Four years later it had already been through six printings, and he followed up over the next two decades with a series of even more successful how-to books that remain the gold standard for artists to this day. Creative Illustration is considered Loomis's magnum opus, which was aimed primarily at the professional-level illustrator. Divided into seven sections: Line, Tone, Color, Telling the Story, Creating Ideas, Fields of Illustration, and Experimenting and Studies, this book is filled with instructions, tips, insider experiences, and incredible illustrations. Review: Fine book , horrible packing - While book arrived on time as usual I have major problems with desertcart shipping. They put the book in an over sized box. Even upon my requesting they never add any packing material allowing the book to shift and bounce around during shipping not only creasing both top corners but also top of binding. I was on the fence of returning but decided wasn't worth the trouble on this project. Excellent instructional book and enjoy Mr. Loomis' insight. Review: Massive book and feels like quality! - I didn't expect the book to be THIS large, I thought it would be a cute little thing I could slip into my backpack haha. It feels like great quality, with thick, sturdy pages and large and easily legible text. Obviously, you know Loomis is gonna get you right with the information he has to share. I only got the book because I originally pirated the pdf but felt like I HAD to give someone money for how invaluable this information has been for me as an intermediate self taught artist. Art girlies, get you one if you're not sure why your pieces feel unfocused and bland. Andrew is your guy 100%. One last thing, this should NOT be your first go-to if you're a beginner. This proceeds with the assumption that you have a basic understanding of form, figure drawing, and perspective; it's perfect for intermediate folks that are lost with how to put it all together in a way that works. If you don't have a grasp on the prior subjects, hit up his other books first and do the exercises (multiple times, you won't bake it in overnight) then come back to this one. It's good information but it's like reading about algebra when you're still just learning addition. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #27,546 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Art Encyclopedias #19 in Illustration and Graphic Design #25 in How To Create Comics & Manga | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,259 Reviews | ## Images ![Creative Illustration - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CyvCQoAgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fine book , horrible packing *by A***R on August 17, 2025* While book arrived on time as usual I have major problems with Amazon shipping. They put the book in an over sized box. Even upon my requesting they never add any packing material allowing the book to shift and bounce around during shipping not only creasing both top corners but also top of binding.

Again, this is more than the techniques but about the ability to see inside the life being illustrated, and to produce an emotion and not just an image. He rightly calls this ability greater than the mechanical skills of the artist, which need not be so advanced or polished because the other vision is more important, and will actually be the core of the picture. ## Frequently Bought Together - Creative Illustration - Drawing the Head and Hands & Figure Drawing (Box Set) - Successful Drawing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/5774982-creative-illustration](https://www.desertcart.be/products/5774982-creative-illustration) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
