Looking for some book recommendation!

[liolev]

Ok guys, so my 18th b-day is soon to come, and instead
of being a spoiled leeching son and ask for a car, I've
decided to ask for something even better - some top notch art literature!:D

I would be happy if you recommend your favorite books regarding the subjects:

-Anatomy,
-Concept Art ("Making of" movies and games, and maybe a book about the process),
-Character Design,
-Color Use and Rendering,
-Storyboarding,
-Composition and Scene Construction,
-Perspective (Designing structures and objects),
-and Animation.


Appreciated(:

Well Architecture: Form, Space, and Order by Francis D.K. Ching is a book I've had to use for school and was helpful in the design process. It isn't a perspective book so much as a resource to help students "think like an architect" but I think you can find many of its principles to be useful. :)

You can see a preview of the book's contents here from Google: link (http://books.google.com/books?id=GryqqV58cXcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=architecture+form+space+and+order&source=bl&ots=_dNCJbueON&sig=VEucb_cgynhW8GWViGXD2YgYVYw&hl=en&ei=cWPmS_mDN5nsNdya1YQI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CDkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q&f=false)
