Art books are one of the best resource available to those of us looking to supplement our art education, aside from Youtube videos or tutorials. If you’re a self taught artist like I am, stick around because i am going to be showing you some of the books i wish i had at the start of my art journey. I have collected these books over the span of the last 2 years and they have had a tremendous impact on my creative mindset, improving my art fundamentals and as a source of artistic inspiration on the days i feel blocked.
