I had this book when I was 11 years old. It’s still in print after nearly 60 years. Ask any artist who works and they are familiar with Andrew Loomis’s book.
A link to more about him another great blog about illustrators here.

This post comes to us from Alex Salazar, Curatorial Intern.
“Since the dawn of picture-making, illustrators have taken the tools available to them to document and react to the world around them,” explains Scott Bakal, the curator of Pixelated: The Art of Digital Illustration. The face of art is constantly changing, and new tools like Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter are exposing artists to a virtually unlimited range of possibilities. On view at the New Britain Museum of American Art’s Low Illustration Gallery until Dec. 9th, 2012, this exhibition showcases “the brilliant ideas and processes that go into making illustrations today.”

His take on Catwoman always reminds me of Katherine Hepburn.
