Beginning artists should always be looking to books to help them learn to develop drawing skills and to be inspired.

@@Sky_TEC_Illustraition_Systems If you want to learn from the original masters, as opposed to the current Style- heavy work in this video, pick up anatomy books by Burne Hogarth and George Bridgeman. Study the layouts of Joe Kubert and the simple yet effective line work of Alex Toth.

It’s hard to find a straight answer on the internet: do you know if the Best of Wizard How To Draw book includes a mix of the other collected editions that exist (Anatomy, Storytelling, Advanced Techniques etc) or if they are something separate/ compiled a different way. There’s also different looks and names for those books like Anatomy vs Heroic Anatomy...? It’s all very confusing haha.
@diligentvisual2086 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the comment. Yes. The Best of Wizard How to Draw book is a mix of topics. The other collected editions do a deeper dive into the specific articles that covered the individual topics. I do not have the books in front of me right now but i am fairly confident that my response is correct.
@Spikey100000 3 жыл бұрын
@@diligentvisual2086 that’s a great answer thank you! So they are just compiled a different way and released as different editions then, and I guess there must just be different versions that exist? Really thanks, that helps a lot :)

I was pretty pumped to go get the Mitch Byrd "Notes to Draw From." until I saw the price :(
@diligentvisual2086 4 жыл бұрын
Aten Akehnaton I hear you. These books get quite expensive when they go out of print. Especially, when they were printed in low quantities to begin with. Keep an eye out for a second run.

Is there a art of Greg Capullo book? He’s besides Jim Lee and Tony Daniels is my favourite artist because he has such dark looking art like it always looks like a horror and I like that gory style
@diligentvisual2086 Жыл бұрын
There is a Greg Capullo book. I don’t own it but I will link it here for you! Let me know how it looks if you pick it up. amzn.to/3CXE166
