Let’s see that art book collection, anon
>artbook>in 2025>when chinks do detailed tutorials for everything >when everything is digital
>>7760933Trad will always remain king. Cope harder
>>7760933Do you not appreciate actual books?
>>7760933You need to take care of your eyes.
>>7760916Anything good from that stack, anon?
>>7760945For sure. I’m a big fan of the Toy Story art collection (bottom-most), Kim Jung gi’s book (it’s super inspirational to just look at) perspective made easy, Alphonso Dunn’s books (not useful if you don’t do pen and ink obviously), the bloodborne book (one of my all time favorite video games, so I’m biased lol) and Steve Houston’s figure drawing book most of all I’d say. The others are great too, my interest in them is just limited because like I don’t really draw vehicles too much so I’m not using Scott Robertson’s book as much and I’m not super into animation so I’m not opening “drawn to life” a lot. A lot of the books are just good to have, mostly because if I ever run into a situation that myself or someone else needs the resource, it’s available
>>7760916dunn is terrible and his books are trash.
>>7761189>I must...I MUST HATE ON BBCcome on now. why not hate on that robertson book? it's useless.
>>7761189just as a homework prompt kind of thing the workbook is useful (pirated and printed from your home printer of course)
>>7761189I like Dunn. Lots of flawed work but he teaches you what matters most when working with pen and ink. Like the other anon said, it works as a workbook kind of thing >>7761193>it’s uselessI wouldn’t say it’s useless, just a bit convoluted. The warmups are very useful and there’s lots of good drawings to study
most of 'em
Pretty vanilla stack. Surely the next book will unlock my potential.
I lent mine out to artist friends... it's been years maybe I should ask for some back...
Almost none of them are actual instruction books.
Nothing is more boring than art created by oversocialized individuals... I guess some people prefer being a predictable parody over a wild sincerity...
>>7761550Brother, we're all on fucking 4chan, none of us are "oversocialized individuals". Also what the fuck does that have to do with photos of stacks of books?
>>7761550>anon thinks being a loner makes you interestingOh no, he's 15
>>7761541No this actually exactly what we should be postingMost of us have the exact same instruction books anyway
>>7761553It's an AI LLM bot.
>>7761580>most of us have the exact same instruction books anywayThis isn’t true at all. What instruction books one has varies on what type of art they’re trying to create
>>7761603>loomis>loomis>loomis>bridgman>loomis
>>7760916Here are the books that I reference the most.
>>7761611There’s literally tons more artists shown, and the pic right below yours indicates this lmao. There are a ton of instruction books out there
I just have the usual meme books and the rest art weeb books that nobody here has or cares about.
>>7761962pyw
Physically I own one of the Eldenring artbooks and the Porco Rosso one
>>7761962I'd like to see the art weeb books, anon. At least list them if you don't want to take a picture.
Are we posting books we've read, or books we should've reas 3-5 years ago?
it would be cool to see anons art along with their collectionsit might give context to the stuff they make
>>7761983Awesome collection, makes me want to look into morpho more. What’s your favorite one out of the ones you own? Also the Elden ring artbook sounds cool as hell, I’m jealous. The art direction in that game was top tier >>7762036You don’t have to have read the book. Most people here probably haven’t completely finished every art book they own, it’s not like they’re novels >>7762081OP here. I’ve posted a ton of my stuff here, so you’ve probably come across it before but I’ll add. I usually just like to draw from life. Here’s my mom in profile
>>7762243>What’s your favorite one out of the ones you own?I haven't read all of them, but my favorite is the Weichun book. Made a lot of stuff click that didn't before.And yeah, the eldenring book is really good. It's kinda crazy how close the concept art is to the game, I actually though I was looking a screenshots for a few of them
>>7762295I meant your favorite one out of the Morpho books in particular, assuming you’ve read them
>>7762295A lot of it actually is screenshots, particularly the environments. They build up the concepts and the models simultaneously, taking a screenshot, painting over it, make the edits, screenshot it again, repeat.
i want to get more artbooks but some of this shit is crazy
>>7762345Go to a used book store
>>7762345Nigga get a pdf of that shit
>>7762311Those and the color and light book are pretty much the only ones I haven't at least skimmed through yet, sorry>>7762337Oh interesting. Guess that would explain it lol
>>7762345I think it’s because you live in a third-world country. So it just presents the total including shipping fee and customs.
>>7763270i live in canada it's just insanely priced like that>>7762357used book stores where i live don't even have loomis books lol
>>7763369Here’s Loomishttps://www.alexhays.com/loomis/Maybe you want a physical copy, but the resource is here if you or anyone else wants it. Lots of these are online
>>7761752Paul Pope is underrated. His faces are a bit grotesque for my taste but his linework is great
>>7763369>used book stores where i live don't even have loomis books lolAbebooks? Honestly get physical books if you can. >i live in canada it's just insanely priced like thatHow about foreign bookstores like Blackwell's or Kennys?Other amazon (.de, .co.jp, .sg, other European ones) may have it cheaper too sometimes.
