So comic book artist Alex Ross was enlisted to help finish the book. The sketches and main text for the book were already completed by Loomis, just that the captions were missing. A good portion of what's taught here is quite similar to the content in Fun With a Pencil. Basic drawing tips are present, but the book had much more potential. The structure is fine but in many cases there could be more explanation included to help beginners. The book covers drawing of basic objects (using geometry), perspective, lighting, drawing the head and figure. Compared to other Loomis books, the instructions here are made simpler, to the extent that I felt they are lacking in depth. Loomis' text is as usual very encouraging but some of the text are written in cursive letters which I find difficult to read. I'd Love to Draw is a drawing book targeted at the absolute beginners. Apparently, there was an unfinished Loomis that never made it to publication. Publisher Titan Books did a huge favour for the art community with the reprints of Andrew Loomis books.
