Here is a book list of books that I have and use. I thought I would share these with people incase they were/are looking for certain books for certain things. I don't really know if they will help, but I find them quite useful.


I will have the book title and who its by with a description of what it is about. The ones with the stars are the ones that I like the best. I will update this every time a find another book that could be useful.

1. Drawing Faeries: A Believer's Guide by Christopher Hart- I find this book to be helpful with anatomy and drawing faces. It shows the differences between humans and faeries. Whether or not you are into drawing faeries its still a good reference.


2. Human Anatomy Made Amazingly Easy by Christopher Hart- This book focuse pretty much only on the bones and muscles that affect form, making it simple to create graceful, flowing figures in action or still poses. It helps with perspective of the body, foreshortening, and diminution, and also methods of self-checking proportions. It also showes you the right way to draw hands and shows how to draw faces at angles. This book is the best book that I have found for human anatomy.


3. How to Draw Lifelike Portraits from Photographs by Lee Hammond- She teaches you how to addthe illusion of 3D highlights and shadows to simple shapes using pencil shading and blending. After you learn the basics, you use the same techniques to portray every feature. Even though this is just a blended pencil technique book its still good for referencing and she also has a materials list that may be useful.


4. Freaks! How to Draw Fantastic Fantasy Creatures by Steve Miller- This book is a good book for people who are interested in the Anthro department. Basically it teaches you different techniques you can use, shows you different eyes, ear, feet, etc., it also has a materials list at the end of the book.


5. Draw Real Animals! by Lee Hammond- This book also uses the blended pencil technique and it shows different kinds of eyes, noses, hair/fur, animal textues, intricate patterns, and backgrounds.


6. Drawing Mammals: An Artist's Reference Guide to North American Mammals- This book includes photographs and sketches of the animals. It also includes little notes with the pictures and shows different ages of each mammal.
