- Here are some of my favorite art books that have shaped me as a concept artist! See below for links to get the same books covered in the video.In this video, I cover three categories of art books:
1️⃣ Art Fundamentals: Learn perspective with "How to Draw" by Scott Robertson, master color and light with James Gurney's "Color and Light," and enhance figure drawing skills with Michael Hampton's "Figure Drawing."
2️⃣ Process How-To's: Explore Hayao Miyazaki's creative process through his art book. Discover the synergy between game development, concept art, and pixel art with Bryce Kho's "Arcana." Dive into art philosophy and composition with "Composition of Outdoor Painting" by Edgar Payne.
3️⃣ Inspirational Books: Take a visual journey through Middle Earth with "A Middle Earth Traveler" by John Howe. Explore Tyler Jacobson's vivid illustrations in "The Art of Tyler Jacobson." Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" by Hayao Miyazaki.
As artists, we thrive on a balance of fundamentals, creative processes, and inspiration. These books are the keys to unlocking your full artistic potential. It's not just about making good art; it's about creating something that is truly unique and emotionally resonate.📌 Find all the books in the description below.
