Art Books and Videos Guide.
Below, you will find some books and videos that I recommend from other artists.
Here's a list of some art books and videos that I recommend. I have chosen these for their quality and usefullness to artists. I have an extensive collection myself, so I know which ones are actually good at teaching and getting points across.
Let's start with the books. Here are some that I recommend. They are all available online. I'm not going to go into much detail about them right now, but maybe later on I'll expand on them. However, I won't list anything here that I can't honestly recommend. You can never have too many books. Even if you only learn one thing from a book, it may open your mind to a bunch of other things and you just keep building on it. You should learn quite a bit from anything I list here if you study them honestly and practice.
