Perspective! for Comic Book Artists:
How to Achieve a Professional Look in Your Artwork

by David Chelsea

This book is probably the best perspective book i have ever read. I dont see how anyone can give it a bad review or call it useless. Author not only explains how to draw the perspective in the simplest way but also explains a bunch of different techniques that might work for you. The book is written as a large comic strip wich makes it very enterntaining and at times alsmot like you are watching a movie.

by Jack Hamm

The cover might not be impressive, but the content is the best I've seen. If you are pretty good at drawing, this book will show you what you need to give your figures that extra boost to make them look real.

How to Draw Animals
by Jack Hamm

This book is a great reference book for drawing animals and is relatively thorough in showing the different types and their common similarities across, and within, species. I thought it was very good in explaining animal anatomy and smaller details such as how to correctly stripe a tiger. However, you will definitely need to see the animals in person or have your own photo resources because there are no accompanying photos.

Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing From Life
by George B. Bridgman, Howard Simon (Editor)

"...the return of a classic...Bridgman was a legendary teacher at New York's Art Students' League. There he originated a system of drawing known as 'constructive anatomy.' In 1952, his seven books on anatomy were gathered into one volume, which became a standard work at art schools and universities. Published now, for the first time in paperback, it holds up as an indispensable volume with more than 200 illustrations of hands and hundreds of images of arms, shoulders, heads, torsos, legs, knees, and feet."--Library Journal. over 1,000 b/w illus.,
