Interesting to note, except for the classics, i. e. Loomis, Bridgeman etc. Most of the -how to draw - books that exploded into bookstores in the last 5 to 10 years I see quite often in thrift stores now. I feel most of those were only a platform for B and C list artists to get an art book published, lots of form but little content. (for pre-digital how to Step by Step Graphics magazine was a goldmine)

Art books are the stuff of dreams. Oceans, deserts, angels, forests, still life, plants and people -- the images stay with you long after you have finished the book. -
Sci Fi art books are even better. -
These are my 2 favorite art books on Amazon: -
- Aviation Art by Lou Drendel-
- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

So, so cool, Stan - just what I needed. Excellent, fun, and very informative video. Next year, ask them how they managed to become so skilled that they are today. Their life story with art so to speak. Ask them what it takes to achieve a level that enables you to live of your artistic skills.

-Understanding Comics- is a fabulous book! It's the book I recommend that high school students to read before going off to college, whether they're art students or not. It prepares you for the higher-level thinking you'll encounter in higher education.

absolutely agree with this! I bought that book and art feels like there's no bone in figures just bunch of muscle put on one another. Dynamic figures which have balance of Bones and muscles are more pleasing to watch and draw.

The Etherington brothers! I wanted to get their art book when they were doing the Kickstarter for it, but I was a teen with no money, so I couldn't get it. They still have it up on their DA page though.

Thank you so much for this excellent video, and thanks to all the artists who are involved. Extra thanks for the book covers. I'll prepare a special corner in my house just for these fantastic books.
