Eclipse: The Well and the Black Sea by Justin Sweet and Vance Kovacs That confidence is something that I want to aspire to in my own drawings.ħ. To me her artwork is an expression of her, not an expression of how she wants other to see her. Another reason to take a look at her work is it's an example of how you don't have to do hyper precise drawing to make pretty drawings. They're so different from her work at Pixar, and the reason that's amazing to me is that she was able to have two distinct artistic voices. She worked at Pixar as an animator for years, and still found time outside of work to dedicate to doing these drawings. Even if you don't want to paint like him, just his work alone will inspire you to work harder and do better.Įliza's work is incredibly inspiring to me.

Jim Lee describes Bridgman as one of the most important drawing books in his life. Some of his students include some of the most famous Illustrators of the past 100 years, including Norman Rockwell. I don't recommend this book for beginners, but everything he's done is a master class on shape design. Just owning it to see him apply these extremely simple concepts to complex images is worth it.ģ. The way he explains things, and his examples are worth way more than the price of the book. It is dated, but the concepts are timeless. This is the classic book everyone recommends. Figure Drawing for All It's Worth by Andrew Loomis I've had the book for about 6 years now, and it's travelled with me all over the world.Ģ. Everytime I look at his book, I find something new I didn't learn on my first time through. It's not as clean as I'd like to draw, but the gesture, and anatomical break downs are extremely good.
