Art Book Recommendations?

Journal Entry: Fri Dec 29, 2006, 8:12 AM
  • Mood: Content
  • Listening to: Evanescence - Missing
  • Reading: Christopher Paolini - Eragon
  • Watching: Starsky & Hutch
I was wondering... does anyone have some good recommendations for books about anatomy for self-studies? Or other art books that are a "must read" in your opinion? I'd like to try some new stuff, beside drawing portraits, but there is still so much I have to learn. And since I don't have the opportunity to visit art classes (would love to though... sigh) I have to learn from books. I know that's no substitute for art classes, but it's better than nothing.
So... any suggestions or recs?

I love the Capri, wish I had one...

Unfortunately, I am nowhere near as good an artist as you are. If I were, I would draw a Ford Capri Mk. II, send it to you, and ask you to draw Doyle and Bodie in it. :nod:
