What book to get???

[geronimo66]

I just got a gift cert for amazon. I have ordered the following:

Bridgman's figure drawing book
Drawing on the righ side of the brain (had to try it)
Dick Powell presentation techniques
Draw cars draw (kinda childish but some good stuff)
Laputa DVD :rolleyes:

I have like 40 bucks left to spend... what should I get. I was thinking about another figure drawing book or anatomy book.

Any help please.

Thanks

I'd suggest some of Burne Hogarth's books, they're all really good...

alla prim by richard schmid....perhaps the best painting book ever written.

I should have put this in too. I have like 40.00 left to spend...

I was thinking of a book to help with figure drawing, anatomy, and the like.

That does look like one heck of a painting book though.

That's easy, the Vilppu Drawing Manual. Amazon has it HERE (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1892053039/qid=1068584365/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-9719323-8698266?v=glance&n=507846) for $39.95. Awesome book, you really should have it in your personal library!

Thats a little more than $40 ;)

BTW - Jason, have you seen Richard Schmids painting videos? I have Alla Prima, but I've been thinking about getting some of his videos as well. Any comments?

ha, i think my old art teacher wrote Drawing on the right side of the brain, but i thought was from the right side of the brain

if the last name is edwards than its the same book

I Totally agree.:nod: :yummy:

On anamoty books, I´d recommend Bridgman´s more than Burne Hogarth's.
