🌸Some useful non-fiction art books i recommend if learning fundamentals!



Light for Visual Artists by Richard Yot
This one is great because its not meant for any specific art medium/artist. You can apply what you learnt from it to anything. They explain why and how light/dark works without bias while only including scientific facts. (even how color interacts with light)

How to Draw: drawing and sketching objects and environments from your imagination by Scott Robertson
Check out their other books! They are skilled at creating intricate designs like machinery, spaceships, vehicles.

Anatomy: A Complete Guide for Artists by Joseph Sheppard
There are a lot of anatomy books but this is geared towards artists. They mention facts that would be relevant to an artist that wants to learn about the body. Such as head length, landmarks, etc.

Successful Drawing by Andrew Loomis
Their other books are highly recommended as well! all very informative. They can be a little overwhelming since its more technical than most, (specifically perspective) but once you understand the concept of what you are trying to learn, you can break it down from there, taking it at your own pace.

Perspective Made Easy by Ernest R. Norling
As I have mentioned above, Andrew Loomis covers perspective in his book "Successful Drawing" and that its quite complicated. If you would like something that is less technical, a little more simple I recommend this book if you have just started learning about perspective. They do an amazing job at simplifying the facts. The concepts like "high water mark" and "The eye level is level with the eye" makes it easy to remember what's important.

Hey wait..
Thanks all for showing your support (´∀｀)
From viewing, commenting, subscribing, etc. To those of you who use my skins in game, thank you <3

  Like how? How do you make stuff so good?! So realistic? With pixels? On a minecraft skin?

  Great job!

  genshin skins are peak
  genshin needs more updates
  genshin skins are gradients filled with love by their creators
