1. Color and Light - As a student learning to paint and struggling with the application of color, this book was able to explain the different facets of how light and color affect one another in an easily understandable way.

2. Cover Run - a great collection of Adam Hugh's cover art! The best part is the rough studies and sketches that lead up to the final cover.

3. Framed Ink - another great book that deals with designing composition. Easy to read with lots of drawn examples. Priceless concepts!
