Art Books
Hi, girlfailure here. I bought some art books in order to gain more experience and knowledge with what I want to draw.
Art Fundamentals 2nd Edition is a book that has a focus on contemporary art and painting, and has the fundamental principles that can translate over to whatever you're doing in the illustration world.
Here's its table of contents as well as who worked on each chapter.
100 Lessons to Create Anime/Manga Characters is written by Alex Brennan-Dent, who goes by ABD Illustrates on YouTube. Their book goes through their process in creating character design. This book makes you do more thinking on your end to try and understand why design elements are added and what that may contribute to the story of the design itself. I know it says it has QR Codes, but my copy does not seem to have them.
