I was wondering if anyone out there has art books they have/have read/have looked at that they like. Trying to compile a list for a possible 2draw store. :)

Cheers.

OH OH! "Fantastic Art - Luis Royo". ( Here is what Cover looks like http://www.lastgasp.com/pics/fanart.jpg) A book with nothing but Fantasy Images of woman and Beasts. Great book. Luis Royo has done most art work for the Magazine Heavy Metal. Also, the book that I have read, but does not really show in my art, yet, is "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain - Betty Edwards". This book is great, and would be better if I practiced the drawings in them. A Highly recommended book in my opinion.

Don't know if these will help, but I tried. Peace!
