Drawers 2.0 and Iguana Bay, from Claire Wendling. I leaf through her books and suddenly I can draw 5x better.

The Drawings of Heinrich Kley.

Skillful Huntsman is great, too, but I get more use out of the others.

When I get out of school and into college, this is also gonna happen to me...Can't wait! Just the fear of a student debt is pretty daunting.
