Gerry,
The way your blog is so popular, I’m sure your book by Bridgman will turn up soon. Bridgman’s and Loomis’ books are excellent, but personally, I think the best books for the comic illustrator are the series of “Dynamic” books by Tarzan illustrator Burne Hogarth: Dynamic Anatomy, Dynamic Figure Drawing, Dynamic Hands, Dynamic Wrinkles and Draperies. The great thing about his lessons are they are very exaggerated, and that’s what comics is, lots of exaggeration.

parang nakita ko sa bahay… one of the boxes… i’ll be rummaging through some of my old stuff and i’ll let you know if that book suddenly hits my head.

Ay, tanda ko minsan may humiram ng X-Men Annual #10 ko. Pagkatapos basahin nirolyo at pinanghampas sa lamok. ARAY! Napabili tuloy ako ng bago. Nasira na e.

Lahat yata tayo dito , at one time or another, had lent some comics or books that were never returned. In my case, it was an early 80s run of Spider-man. Those that guest stars the Punisher, Dazzler, etc.. Hirap kasi sa mga casual readers, kala nila dyaryo yung hinihiram nila. Ok lang di na isoli.

Wow, that’s a long while ago… Hiniram din sakin yun fav X-factor issues ko and di na naibalik… Joe Quesada run… Man, whoever you are, please return it… Yeah di ko na rin natandaan kung sino yun…

Hey Gerry do you know Thomas Schaller’s (sp?) architectural rendering book? I wonder kung makakabili pa ako nung unang version? Di ko na mahanap dito… -___-

George Bridgman probably has the record for having taught some of the best illustrators in the field. One of the best instructional books drawing the human body. Hopefully you’ll get your copy back.

Reno, Bridgman’s book is actually widely reprinted and is currently available. I would want to buy it, but I hope that I get my book back someday.

That Bridgman book has got to be one of the essential books in figure drawing (right up there with Loomis’ books). I hope one day these books get reprinted again. I had a bookbound photocopy of that book which I lent to someone, and like you I’ve forgotten who it was.
