      More for nostalgia sake but I loved the dragonology handbook by "Dugald a. Steer" when I was younger, not so much an art book as a picture book full of dragons with a loose documentary journal premise

    • @imaikomusic

      Honestly one of the first art books I used as a kid was "Drawing Dragons and Those Who Hunt Them" - Christopher Hart. That one got me into art for real. Also apparently Christopher Hart also drew another book that inspired me "Simplified Anatomy for the Comic Book Artist." Both of which were very good for getting into drawing

    i would also say that manga in theory and practice by araki hirohiko is also a great art book. it doesnt only teach you about how to make manga, but also about the human anatomy, characters, story, and landscapes
    there isnt very many pictures but it explains a lot

    7:44 Bab El Ahlam is Arabic which basically translates to "Door of Dreams" in English.

    • @rikka9528
      @rikka9528 3 года назад +1

      That's right 😭👍

    • @badreddinekasmi8919
      @badreddinekasmi8919 3 года назад

      It's just a shame that they didn't actually go for writing it in Arabic. Arabic words aren't meant to be written with greek letters and it would have been more respectful, in my opinion, to actually write it in the language the sentence is borrowed from.

    • @AscendantStoic
      @AscendantStoic 3 года назад +1

      @@badreddinekasmi8919 It would have been cool if they included all three (Bab El Ahlam, Door of Dreams, باب الأحلام) on the cover in some artistic composition.
      Also you would be surprised how many Arabic speaking people actually write Arabic words in English letters, it first started as a way to deal with the lack of Arabic letters on some keyboards.
      Then it became a thing that some people use on regular basis.

    @dks6515 3 года назад +2

    Thank you so much for this video, after going from drawing 3-4 hours a day even with school and work 3 months earlier to me not even drawing once a week anymore because of artblock and being very insecure about my art seeing this video in my recommended and watching my favourite artist just speak and talk about motivation and other stuff i'm finally reminded that it's about the journey and that it, like you said, takes many thousands of hours of hard work and practise to get good at art and be a professional artist it somehow gives me confidence again and makes me want to keep chasing that dream of drawing and painting for a living and making all this amazing art. Thank you for always inspiring me and so many others with your videos and artwork!

    Haha! A lot of people do that where they may download the digital version of something they want, then later buy the physical version.
    By doing that, you showcase your interest in that individual's work and it is a great compliment. :)

    I have the A:tla artbook aswell as the Korra s 1 artbook, and adittion to that, disneys Beauty and the Beast artbook, the Tangled artbook and most recently The Disney Princess A celebration of Art & Creativity....
    I love collecting artbooks, especially from Disney Movies but it's a slow process.
    Ah I also have an italian book from the comic w.i.t.c.h which is more or less just showing the process from a sketch-to-finished- comic page of the comics, a few sketches here and there of the girls. As a big fan of the comic, it obviously was the biggest influemce for me growing up.
    I have some others aswell, but these are my current faves.

  • @rashed_toon
    @rashed_toon 3 года назад +6

    So amazing collection. I can see the inspiration from them. You know that "Bab el Ahlam" 7:43 is actually an Arabic word. It means that the door of dreams, fantasy, imagination ... etc in which it explains that some of the artist drawing has a rectangle shapes representing doors. I was reading the name of the book and I thought to share this info.

    I had that same JC Leyendecker book. I'm an artist who loves drawing the male form and that book was a treasure for me...so helpful, but I had to move a lot back then and I lost the book 😿. But I'm so glad to know another artist loves this book too❤️

  • @lynnie3497
    @lynnie3497 3 года назад

    It would be so awesome if Ross created a book filled with all of his ideas and advice accessible in one place. It’s already great that he has a bunch of tips and such on RUclips already though, don’t get me wrong. He is one of my favourite artists. I’m so exited for Bloom 2!

(You've also prompted me to seek out a few more of my favorite artist to see if they've created anything in book form) :D

    10:35 I had that book when I was a kid! Shouldn’t have bought it to school though as some POS stole it from my backpack and seen a group of kids tearing pages off of it later that day.
    This happened at the same school where they confiscated students Pokémon Trading cards because evolution is somehow evil. Yes, it was a Catholic school.

Teacher who was incharge next period came and took it and I had a good hearing in principle office and home as well..... I don't remember the girl as I was very small but wtf I would never check someone else's bag....
