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.
Drawing
the Head and Figure
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.
How
to Draw Comics the Marvel Way
by Stan Lee, John Buscema
Stan
Lee, the Mighty Man from Marvel, and John Buscema, active
and adventuresome artist behind the Silver Surfer, Conan
the Barbarian, the Mighty Thor and Spider-Man, have
collaborated on this comics compendium: an encyclopedia
of information for creating your own superhero comic
strips. Using artwork from Marvel comics as primary
examples, Buscema graphically illustrates the hitherto
mysterious methods of comic art.
The
Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression
by Gary Faigin
This
book is probably one of the most complete documents
currently available that deal with facial expressions.
Consisting of three parts, the author leads the readers
from the structure of the head, the muscles of expression,
to the six basic expressions, such as sadness, anger,
joy, to name a few.
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.,
