Anatomy
1. Andrew Loomis - Figure Drawing for All it’s Worth
2. Andrew Loomis - Drawing Head and Hand
3. Bridgman – Constructive Anatomy
4. Bridgman – The Human Machine
5. Burne Hogarth – Drawing Dynamic hands
6. Burne Hogarth – Drawing the Human head
7. Burne Hogarth – Dynamic Figure Drawing
8. Christopher Hart – Drawing Cutting Edge Anatomy
9. Eadweard Muybridge - The Human Figure In Motion
10. Robert Beverly - Anatomy lessons from the great masters
11. Stephen Rogers - Atlas of Human Anatomy for the artist
Forewords by IRCSS: Don’t push yourself with anatomy. It comes with time, if you read three or four of these books; you should already have more than enough theory to work with. All that’s left is to truly understand them and that takes a while.
Perspective
1. Gwen White – Perspective: A Guide for Artists. Architects and Designers
2. Joseph D’Amelio – Perspective Drawing Handbook
Color Theorem
1. James Gurney – Color and Light
2. Betty Edwards – A Color Course in Mastering The Art of Mixing Colors
3. Munsell – Munsell Book of Color
Forwords by IRCSS: James Gurney is a must read. Betty Edwards has some interesting information but also LOTS of wrong ones which is embarrassing for such famous of an instructor. Munsell Book of Color, is the Bible, and I am not even joking. Most of the current color spaces such Adobe ones, LAB and … have been based upon it. It is as close as you would ever get to understanding color as a painter.
Composition
1. Molly Bang – Picture this
General
Betty Edwards – The New Drawing on the Right side of the Brain
Andrew Loomis - Creative Illustration
Andrew Loomis – Successful Drawing
Andrew Loomis – The Eye Of The Painter
Forwords by IRCSS: On the right side of the brain is a very good read for those who want to start off as artists. And Andrew Loomis’s collection is a must read that I think might even be available online as PDFs since it went out of publications a while back.
