3. Advanced Fashion Drawing: this book is fantastic. it is much more than a fashion drawing book and its lessons on creativity, thought process and multiple approaches to composing pictures with the human form are fantastic. The book really forces you to think about how and why you want to draw something/one.
2. Pastel Pointers: Top 100 secrets for beautiful paintings: this is a pastel painting book with a touch of info on oils but the information itself can be applied to any form of opaque painting, especially gouache. The author stresses color temperature more than anything else and it shows in his work. Also included is a half hour dvd lecture. Loved it.
1. The Legend of Steel Bashaw: a short story written and illustrated by the author. The oil paintings are too amazing for words and are complimented by a preliminary drawing/sketchbook section in the back. While the length of the story is short, the page size is large and printed on high quality glossy paper with full page illustrations that one would easily sell as prints; they are that good. Amazing artwork and amazing price, my #1!
