Anyway, happy learning!
Any Pixar artbooks?
Has anyone read this?
What did you think of it?
>>2295040
It's good. It has lots of very good information and is more than enough for teaching yourself anatomy. But if you want to get good at figure drawing you need to supplement it with something like Vilppu or Bridgman and go to life drawing.
Any Weta Workshop books apart from the easy to find LOTR artbooks?
I'm doing a project about them for college and can't afford to buy every single one of them.
I already have the LOTR ones, the Crafting of Narnia and the Hobbit DoS Chronicles (a really shitty scan). Can you help a brother out?
I will upload any of these in return.
>>2295040
The Bible for artist anatomy-fags.
Still looking for these by Otto Schmidt.
>>2295333
where did you get al the movie ones?
>>2295333
Could you update the Art of Mulan, pls?
>Alla Prima: Everything I know about Painting" by Richard Schmid

Fuck yessssssssssssssss thank you OP
>>2295040
Does anyone have the scan for this?
I checked in
>http://www.mediafire.com/folder/17axpf4d7k05u/artbooks#myfiles
but it got deleted because of copyright infringement.
Hate to be "that guy", but are there any good books on drawing anime that are not loomis or bridgeman?
>>2295547
>it got deleted because of copyright infringement.
Lies.
>>2295571
>It got blocked* because of copyright infringement
My bad
>>2295333
Where do you find these books?
I'm hoping to start a collection of artbooks.
https://kickass.unblocked.pe/draw-like-a-boss-draft-t11342814.html
Lots of information on drawing, especially helpful for beginners
>>2295810
Just noticed they're in the top link of the OP, my mistake.
>>2294823
anyone planning to do a high quality scan of "How to Render" by Scott Robertson?
>>2295846
So far, no one has volunteered to do that since past few threads.
>>2295557
Unfortunately, I don't know good books on drawing anime but I think you're better off to search tutorials in dA or tumblr. Some other anons might suggest that soon when they pass by this thread.
>>2295811
Thanks!
If anyone wants to find previous thread, just check archive and hit ctrl F artbook thread before it's gone. Some links haven't been pasted yet in other pastebin.
>>2295557
There is a very good 5-volume series called "Sketching Manga-Style" and despite the name, solidly covers fundamentals such as perspective, figure drawing, anatomy, etc. but done in manga style.
I highly recommend it
>>2295810
Many of those are from the two main private torrent trackers and some of them from threads like this. Although the best ones I have are in my physical collection.
Still looking for the Hobbit ones. I'm uploading the Art of Mulan so everyone can download it.
Anyone have the Tekkon Kinkreet artbook or Orange by Koji Morimoto
>>2295333
Pls make a zip with them and upload it to mega.

Anyone got the Order 1855 artbook?
I just bought hogarth's dynamic light and shade and david chelsea's extreme perspective
worth it :^)
>>2296479
they look better than most of the shit usually posted in this treads
Anybody have books much like "Classic Human Anatomy" and such, but for animals?
thread looks rather dead
>>2298253
It's always slow.

>>2298547
Yes
But interspersed with other sources

Requesting David Chelsea's Extreme Perspective book.
>>2298497
Probably you're on the mobile. It happened to me when I tried registering on tablet so I tried using computer and it worked.
>>2297328
Try checking in cgpeers and torrentz.eu with keywords animals anatomy or something. I think there's one book for it?
>>2296867
Nice! Might consider buying David Chelsea though.. is it heavy? By thickness and size.
>>2298547
Really good imo. Though it really depends on your preference, so try it out.
>>2298586
The guy who asked for the book here, found it. Uploaded to zippyshare:
http://www63.zippyshare.com/v/oOIGrUs8/file.html
Take the link and save it somewhere, put in the op list of links, download and upload to mediafire/mega, what you guys prefer.
Also, it's on cgpeers.
>>2298721
small and light, a4 size and thick like 100 sheet.
>>2298966
I have no idea why registration is open right now for once.
>>2298966
Thanks for uploading that! Gotta make pastebin for links in each thread soon.
>>2299013
Yeah.. out of blue. No idea 'bout it.
>>2298970
Thanks! Sounds portable. Do you plan to scan it soon? If you don't wanna scan, it's cool and ofc it's yours.
Make the best use out of it by practicing perspective and light.

Anyone got the Tactics Ogre artbook?
http://www.amazon.com/Tactics-Ogre-Works-Book-Japanese/dp/B005O41CEA
>>2301363
which Payne do you mean, the composition one ?
I paint in trad mediums and I'd say the John Carlson one is miles better.
>>2301616
Yeah, this one, I'm doing seascapes right now and have been reading through Borlase Smart's book, it's pretty good, couldn't find scans though.
You have a link for the John Carlson book?
>>2301624
Have you read Staleton Kearn's blog ? lot's of the infor in there is just what Payne writes about, plus seascape stuff a plenty. I have the hard copy of the book, the composition parts are floating around as 1 or 2 page scans. Most of the book is weirdly off-topic. I'll look at what I have tomorrow.

Anyone have this? I'm trying to dl a torrent, but there is only 1 seed.
>>2308674
>>2308674
Forgot the image, but I found a link. My connection is shite, could someone upload it to a site without download limits like mediaire and MEGA?
Also, why don't people use mediafire more often?
http://depositfiles.com/files/715g6bflp
>>2308759
Really? I was hoping it would be similar to Jeff Watt's style. How is the text?
>>2308761
It's been a while since I read it. I remember the text being okay, like the information is solid but it's very hard to decipher everything because the diagrams are so bad. He just is really bad at drawing planes and then you get these jumbled messes. Like this is what a typical diagram is:
https://i.warosu.org/data/ic/img/0015/13/1375631991363.jpg
And there are much worse ones, or ones where he has to do a step by step so you can understand it but it's a pain to follow along and see as he keeps making it more and more (unnecessarily) complicated. The pencil drawings he has are also like...not bad, but they don't look good. Like they have zero appeal.
I got the book because I was interested in the Reilly method, but I think it is a subpar representation of the method.
>>2308767
Yes, it does seem to be very unbecoming. It is very hard to learn from something that doesn't pique your interest.
I too found the book because I was looking up a book on the Reilly Method. Seems I'll be better off with youtube videos of its practitioners demonstrating it to a class, yet. Thank you anon.
The 3d total book and Chris Legaspi have some tutorials available too, if you are still looking.
>>2308758
very often mediafire close accounts (without notifying anyone) if someone complains about copyright infringement.

>>2309041
Hey Z thank you for helping out in these threads so much. It's really nice of you.
Beginner question here, please bear with me :
Any learning book with a more manga/anime style?
I've started reading and watching some of the things listed in the OP and while it's all really interesting and obviously needed I feel like I can't fully relate and apply this to my artstyle/the style I'm aiming for.
I don't mean generic moe shits but still I'd like something, let's say, "in between".
If my question doesn't make sense feel free to be blunt and call me out on it.
>>2309178
you're welcome! i'm very glad that you appreciate the efforts and all
>>2309220
hmmmm im afraid i dont know the ones recommended
though sketching manga style was recommended in previous post. so i looked it up
https://kat.cr/how-to-draw-manga-sketching-manga-style-vol-1-5-t6607820.html#comment
also check
>http://kelpls.tumblr.com/
dont forget to study fundamentals (color and figure), they're important and im sure you notice that
for doing the style, it's always trial and error. reverse-engineer and study your favorite artists' styles, then you try to see what suits you. remember to be always patient with yourself bro
>>2309249
Thanks for the reply, I'll get the books and see how they suit me. I seem to like the tuto on the blog too.
Cheers.
>>2309252
no prob and glad it helps. just drop message here if you have any art-related questions

It's ok man, but yeah i saw that one on kat when i was looking for my book. Honestly i'm looking for the master class by Beverly Hale for all the illustrations from the old masters. I really like his other books, because i like to study from masters' drawings than pictures of people.
>>2309660
If someone else has it it'll be great.
Anyone got the "fundamentals of design" from cgma and/or "fundamentals of character design" from schoolism? Or any other character design stuff from those two sites.
>>2310832
thanks.
>kindly try googling bit more and use keywords
check kat
sorry for mixing up the requests. I was indeed asking for the download link for bradleys book but about the pencil rendering i wouldn't mind looking for them on my own.
I was just curious about which are the most recommended ones. if I searched for art books about anatomy tons of not so good books will pop up along with the good ones and i cant download every single artbook with the word pencil in its title.
ive checked out the book links in the OP and in the sticky and manage get a solid 3-5 books for each folder on different topics like perspective or color theory but both pencil and drapery had only one book each.
>>2310970
Bump
>>2310939
hmm now i understand, bro. studying from masters' drawings is good.
maybe you might have better chance in finding in
>http://fineartvn.blogspot.com/
cos i saw some other drawing books that might interest you. no beverly hale there but i might have missed it
>>2310979
got it bro
hmmm i dont know which ones are most recommended ones.. maybe, check amazon for reviews? or maybe artists' interviews or reviews... i know i might sound like captain obvious but just suggesting stuff to you, no offense meant.
thinking about this, i think i should make another pastebin for recommended posts soon (unlike in pastebin above which is for general so for specific topic)
i dont have suggestions cos i havent read them thoroughly yet
Here's a short little .pdf created by an instructer from the Watts Atelier. Thought someone might find it useful:

>>2311521
thanks :) and looking forward to you paste bin.
What's a good book to physically print out? >>2311601
Anything for fashion illustration?
>>2310741
A lot of it's to help beginners get into drawing and getting comfortable. Pretty useful if you're looking to get back into art after a while.
But, yeah, it also has a bunch of crap that you can skip.
>>2307464
Bump ;_;
guys, what books do you recommend the most? your own preference (specific topic: concept art, figure drawing etc) ofc.
I'll include that in incoming new pastebin for specific topics and update it. and artists too.. so it's not just art books but also artists to make it easier to look them up
>>2311673
no prob, any books you'd like to recommend?
>>2311675
what kind of book are you looking for? it depends on your preference bro
>>2311539
thanks!
>>2311823
have you checked torrentz.eu or kat.cr yet?

Any chance for Superhero's Anatomy by Olivetti Ariel? Thanks.
Anyone have a pdf of this?
>Lessons in Classical Drawing: Essential Techniques from Inside the Atelier
Or at least some experience from it? I'm on the fence as to whether I want to shell out some dough for it.
does anyone have the Secret of Kells and/or Song of the Sea artbooks? Much appreciated!
You guys might like techniques of the observer. Its about how digital art is a major break in visual image making, it being the first form of art that has no origin in the physical world.
>>2312822
Forgot the image also amazon is having a 25 percent all physical books currently with the code BOOKDEAL25
>>2301806
Do you know where to get it as a PDF? I haven't been able to find it at ALL
Any good book regarding working with oils.
Something like step by step. If it's not available digital let me know anyway, I might find it on amazon
Where can I find Peter Han's Stuff?
>>2313062
Reading Alla Prima by Richard Schmid right now and it's pretty good. There was another oil painting book I was skimming that looked good but I can't remember the title.
>>2312457
haha wtf with my typing
>>2299440
I second this
>>2303434
The Minttu did some of those card illustrations.
>>2305192
I WANT THIS TOO. But I doubt anyone here has it.
Anyone have this book?
Hey anons.
I got that book >>2295811 and I'm 50 pages in but it's awfully heavy. I'm on a toaster. The file is 256mo big and awfully optimized, the pictures inside are way bigger than needed, etc, and it's eating up 1.5giga of my memory when opened. Needless to say on top of randomly crashing I literally cannot even open Firefox/Chrome or foobar or anything while reading it. It's that bad.
I'd like to know if there's an image (jpg/png) version of it. I googled around to see if I could convert it myself but the file is always too big and the programs I tried were just plain malware shits. I feel hopeless.
Could anyone help me please?
Anyone got the Charles Bargue drawing course? Been looking for it everywhere but can't find it.
>>2314935
>file is always too big and the programs I tried were just plain malware shits.
Assuming you're on windows, wtf are you using? In the linux ecosystem there are several applications that can read a pdf and spit out images just fine without memory issues or viruses, such as the ghostscript interpreter or imagemagick (both sound shady, but they're legit), unfortunately for the average user, they're command-line applications, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have to be hard to use.
For example, if my terminal is in the folder where How_To_Render.pdf is located, I can run ghostscript as follows to get images of the pages of the file:
gs -sDEVICE=pngalpha -o page-%03d.png -sDEVICE=pngalpha -r144 How_To_Render.pdf
Running this will output files called page-1.png, page-2.png, page-3.png, etc.
Alternatively, I could use imagemagick's "convert" command to achieve something similar:
convert -density 144 How_To_render.pdf[0-275] page.png
Which will also output files called page-1.png, page-2.png, page-3.png, etc.
If I understand correctly, the number 144 represents DPI (dots per inch), ideally you'd perhaps want to use the pdf's native DPI, if such a thing exists, so that you're not wasting time resizing the image of the pdf.
There's a windows build of imagemagick. Not entirely sure if there's a windows build of ghostscript. There's probably many other command-line programs that do something similar anyway, I think inkscape has a command-line interface to it's image export functionality.
I could run the program for you but the conversion is painfully slow and makes my laptop CPU fan scream, and I'm too lazy to fire up my desktop.
So, the people who read color and light, how exactly is it eye opening if it's just a series of pictures and seemingly no tutorials?
>>2315036
He explains about color theory, how light works and how to use the gammut mixing
>No tutorials.
the book only shows you theory and you need to paint from life to understand.
>>2314935
>>2315032
Disregard this, there are dedicated command-line tools that does a better job of processing pdf files, namely, xpdf's "pdfimage" command (there's a windows build from foolabs).
For example, if your terminal is in the same folder as How_To_Render.pdf, run the following to convert the pages into images
pdfimages -png How_To_Render.pdf page
This will output files called page-001-000.png, page-002-001.png, page-003-002.png, etc. (I'm not sure why the numbers are formatted that way)
I think the above solution returns the best results, since DPI doesn't need to be specified, which suggests that the pdf pages are (probably) being processed at their native resolution, ie. there' (probably) no CPU spent resizing images into a specified DPI (unless you want to resize the pages, the native resolution of my version of How_To_Render.pdf turned out to be painfully massive)
>>2315047
PS: the windows version of pdfimages.exe only outputs jpg files, you have to use pdftopng.exe to process a pdf into png files. However, for art book pdfs (and especially pdfs that are just scans of art books), it is probably best to use jpg files instead of png
>>2312771
anyone?
>>2315032
>Assuming you're on windows, wtf are you using?
By "file is too big" I meant those websites that do the conversion for you.
>>2315047
>>2315055
First thanks for taking the time to help me.
I downloaded xpdf (xpdfbin-win-3.04) but I honestly have no idea how to proceed from here. None of the .exes do anything when clicked on.
Do I need anything else? I'm not particularly skilled when it comes to these things so I'm not sure what I needed to disregard from all your explanations, sorry.
>>2295846
I own it. It's not that good. It's easier to stick to vilppu's toning chapter/ Loomis' shadows chapter.
Does anyobe have the latest Frank Cho's book? Also, could you recommend anything, where I can look at various architecture from different ages?
>>2315121
I have it.
here's the pic-- the contents

oh shit i forgot to rotate it before i uploaded. sorry bros
>>2315401
No problem mate. For the sake of other readers I'm gonna clarify how one might want to proceed from here anyway >>2315396
The .exe files are command-line applications, double-clicking them will not display a window with buttons, it will instead display a terminal window that will very quickly close itself, because the .exe you ran hasn't been told to do except print the following help message, like any good command-line program, then quit:
>pdfimages version 0.30.0
>Copyright 2005-2015 The Poppler Developers - http://poppler.freedesktop.org
>Copyright 1996-2011 Glyph & Cog, LLC
>Usage: pdfimages [options] <PDF-file> <image-root>
>...
To use a command-line program in any meaningful way, you first have to open a terminal window and invoke the .exe from the terminal, by typing its name, a filename for it to process, and then hitting enter.
For immediate results in your particular situation, simply copy-paste pdfimage.exe (from the xpdf.zip downlpads) into the same directory as the pdf you want to convert. Then open a terminal like cmd.exe from the Start Menu, and "change the directory"to the one where both the .exe and .pdf located by using the "cd" command.
That is to say, type the following and hit Enter if your username is Foo and the relevant files are located in a folder called HowToRender on the desktop
> cd C:\Users\Foo\Desktop\HowToRender
You can invoke "dir" to display the files/folders in the current directory.
Then, invoke pdfimages.exe and it's relevant functionality by typing its name and some parameters (such as a filename) and hitting enter. For example, to convert How_To_Render.pdf into separate jpg files, type the following into the terminal and hit enter.
> pdfimages.exe How_To_Render.pdf page
Doing this will execute pdfimages.exe, which will output files named page-001.jpg, page-002.jpg, page-003.jpg, etc. in the same directory as it was invoked from.

holly shit, all them books! my dick is diamonds!
>>2294823
Is there any point to buying a book with all these resources available?
The reason I ask is because I have a giftcard for 25 bucks at a book store and I was thinking about getting a book that was not available for free like Drawn to Life.
As a beginner should I just keep sticking to loomis and then move on to these other people in the OP?
Requesting this.
>>2316580
Drawn to Life is pretty awesome. I like to flip through my copy a decent amount and just reread a random section. I do the same with The Art Spirit.
Having physical books is better imo because you can flip through them easier and having it on your desk means you are more likely to actually read and use it than having a file hidden away in your computer somewhere that you need to find and open then is a pain to read because it's on a screen.
someone got this yet?
