I was literally thinking about what books to get the other day and didn't wanna go through all my fav artists vids to find their recommendations. This was perfectly timed thanks.
Exelent list! I had How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way when I was 12 and placed several 2nd place awards in Middle school and HS. Your complete recommendations is basically a good 4yr graphics art program. Other than sketching all the time and practicing techniques outside of your comfort zone, one needs to assign themselves projects w/deadlines for Art school portfolio and job portfolio. Class assignments will not be enough.
This was fantastic, I studied art as a teen-ager and have just come back to it. My go-to books where the paper tiger fantasy art books, my fave artists where Chris Archellos and Boris Vilaggieo! You have been instrumental in inspiring me to take up something which I always loved but that life forced me to stop, art. So thank you.
I understand people watching this might be interested about how to learn manga style but personally I highly recommend learning realistic style first. My favorite books of all time are Frederic Delavier's strength training anatomy which made my skill literally sky rocket! And Eliot Goldfinger's human anatomy for artists. There are many more books that I can recommend if anyone is interested :) btw my book closet crashed a few days ago from the weight after more than 10 years and now I'm looking for another one before they die under the weight :(
I recently got a book called "the artist's complete guide to drawing the head" by Maughan and it has some really good stuff for realistic portraits but it's also pretty advanced as you would expect when you're aiming for realistic look. Unless you mean realistic as in non manga style and an actual human looking face and in that case there are a lot of books you can look for but Andrew Loomis has some really good books and the Loomis technique is really helpful especially for drawing the head in different angles and perspectives. But honestly I would recommend studying the skull first and then the anatomy of the face. A good book that can help you is a book called "drawing the head" by Burne Hogarth. He shows how to build the shapes of the head and face. After all that make sure to look at real faces and try to understand how the features of that person's face sit on the skull and everything will connect better. Soon you'll find that you are literally able to see how the skull of a certain person looks just based on his facial features like X-ray. Hope that helps and feel free to ask if you have any more questions :)
Drawing on The Right Side of The Brain by Betty Edwards is by far the best drawing book I ever studied. I have a few of these books that you have in your vid and I love them but drawing on the right side of the brain really trains you in such unique ways to become a really fantastic artist. It's a hard book to get now because of it's popularity but if you find a copy, get it.
If your only interested in Anime/Manga style however, you can go onto the JP Amazon and find tons of books literally dedicated to the smallest little details. The only issue is you'll need to either read Japanese or use a translation app like Google Translate.
Thanks a lot for making this. I want to draw people dynamically and convincingly, so when you introduced, brought up and talked about "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention", my eyes lighted up. Going to check it out now.
Oh my god! You did the same study of Vagabond as me, haha, i remember showing my manga to my 60 and something teacher back at 2011, when i was only 11, and he was mesmerized with that panel, and he Made me do a study of it!. Great reccomendation of books Mikey! I personally have "how to draw" and the Michael Hampton one, and they hace really helped me, and i always check them out even tho i studied them from start to finish!
TY! Really glad you uploaded this. Been curious for the longest time... Will see tomorrow, cause it's 2 A.M. here... And before I forget... I'd appreciate a video on quick studies should you feel like it... Just dunno if these kinds of vids are any good for the YT algorithm...
I'm an older artist and I used the Burne Hogarth series of books to learn how to draw. He drew the Tarzan comics in the 50's and taught in New York I forget which school. For black and white I then studied Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this one yet, but Framed Ink: Drawing and Composition for Visual Storytellers by Marcos Mateu-Mestre is a fantastic book for composing shots.
A good book that I like is "Excellent Manga Sketching Techniques Vol. 1 Pretty Girl" by Hikaru Hayashi & Tsubura Kadomaru. It's part 1 in the series and the only volume in English. It's pretty difficult to get in the States. I was able to pick it up at Anime Expo LA a couple years ago from Hobby Japan for ~$20. Hobby Japan did not attend this year in 2019 so imagine my dismay when my copy was ruined by water damage months earlier! Luckily I was able to order a copy online for about 3 times the price lol
I know it says "in Photoshop" in the title, but to anyone who has the book: Does the advice the book gives really focus on Photoshop? Or can I still learn my money's worth from the book even though I'll be painting in Krita?
This was really good! My friend recommended the Color and Light book, which I picked up, but I'm still missing some of the more basic foundation. Probably gonna look at the Figure Design book and the Painting Characters in Photoshop. I use CSP, but a lot of the functionality is really similar.
It would be very nice of you to show us how to study our favorite manga and how to understand the thinking behind the style, so we don't end up copying only
@Mikeymegamega HEY MIKEY! Have you ever thought about making a comic of your very own. if so but you been hesitant, i want you to know ill definitely by every issue. im currently trying to make a comic myself and this video just lit the fire again for me so thank you.

I agree that anime and manga how to draw books ... I don't think I have ever seen a western written book that has the style I am looking to draw. In my opinion, majority of them look like it was an artist who drew mostly western artwork and decided to dabble a bit into anime/manga due to it's popularity ... but never really got it right ... but decided to make a book anyway.
James Gurney's book was a bit too technical for me, but I am not good at learning from books in general >.< . There is a book called "Light for Visual Artists by Richard Yat" which I found a bit easier to learn from since it is more practical based.
Although not a how to, nor a manga book, one of my favorite books for inspiration is the Art of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag by Titan Books. It came with the copy of the game, I got, and the art in it is quite good it's a hard cover book, that is a bit smaller than A5. It has an amazing amount of art for a tiny book. I think that Titan published a full sized version of the book, which can be purchased on Amazon.
It felt so great when I saw that we have the same Scott Robertson Book! His books and tutorials are always extensive, precise and technical. Highly recommended. Also, if you are into ink, you may check out Alphonso Dunn's "Pen and Ink Drawing: a simple guide". Very well explained and beginner friendly. Also there are very good tutorials in his youtube channel.
A great book list. I’m looking to replace my art book collection after we lost everything in The Camp Fire that destroyed our home in Paradise. The books I had are either not available anymore or ridiculously priced. Thanks for sharing
as i ve decided to get serious about drawing in 2020 and i am in my 30s i dont have time to waste so great drawing resources are what i need. i got figure drawing design and invention, the book is OK if you are a beginner. but keep in mind it says VERY LITTLE about how to draw the head and face . it is a beginners book. If you are serious about your art invest in anatomy books. one of the best out there is - Anatomy for Sculptors. It feels like something a medicine student would use but then again it is so easy to understand and it is in full color. It provides so much information that we all know but we cant use for some reason when we are drawing, although it is deep in out heads. If you can afford it buy the hardcover version. it is expensive but it is worth every cent. i got the pdf version and i printed it out in black and white and now i am coloring it (ppffff), but it feels so wrong, like i took something holy and i defiled it. Anyways then get the books of Andrew Loomis ( but they arent for beginners, they are very overwhelming , too much information). Thye are old but damn they are magnificent. they will open your eyes to a whole new world. that guy really knew what he was doing. and keep practicing every day , it really matters, as i have found out the hard way.
Did you get any of the Mark Crielly how to draw books or Draw with jazza's book? What about the imagine FX magazines? I actually have the manga art and theory book, and the figure drawing books.
Mikey do you recommend learning traditional figure drawing and then adapting those techniques to the looser exagerated manga/comic art or just starting with manga/comic style art when learning to draw? Do i need to study bridgeman and loomis or can i just study mcfarlane and campbell?
Thanks for the info. I thought I was the only one who liked the Spectrum books. What are your thoughts on artist block. I've been struggling to get back in the swing of things.
Any recommended books for drawing human anatomy in perspective? Or does the Objects and Environments kinda translate that in conjunction with Michael Hampton's book?
I love the choices we have today. Now don't forget - do quick search for "Crumb, drawing advice" - you'll get a neat primer. Draw, practice wishing won't make it happen. From Robert Crumb - king of the 60s underground comix and an awesome illustrator. But we do like inspiration and the works of others to help There's a classic - "The Encyclopedia of Fantasy and science fiction art" Grant/Tiner - really inspiring - and due to being very reprinted can find a cheap copy easily. A modern derivative using much from it and smaller is "The fantasy art bible" I'd also recommend Conway's Drawing and Painting Fatnasy figures/Worlds books

9:49 I didn't have to read the author part to tell that's a book from Araki the pattern and design gave it away.
Please dont ever stop being awesome bro when I feel like give up in art you inspire me to keep going
13:25 I hope you make a video on how do you "study" current works that grab your attention. How to break it down and what not to suit your own style.
Exelent list! I had How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way when I was 12 and placed several 2nd place awards in Middle school and HS.

I already had a bunch of amazon tabs open with different artist books to get. Now I have to add a bunch more. Thanks for this video.

Thanks a lot for making this. I want to draw people dynamically and convincingly, so when you introduced, brought up and talked about "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention", my eyes lighted up. Going to check it out now.
scott is such a legend! And the book combined with his video's in the AR app, makes it a really good buy!
any update on you writing a book on how you draw your manga ladies Mikey? I would straight up buy that!!
Oh my god! You did the same study of Vagabond as me, haha, i remember showing my manga to my 60 and something teacher back at 2011, when i was only 11, and he was mesmerized with that panel, and he Made me do a study of it!.

I’m a big fan of the Andrew Lumis books on drawing and illustration. Lots of drawing exercises to power up your art game.
Loomis*

there is great book by mikeymegamega check it out. oh sorry it's 2019. wrong year.
I recommend Steve Huston's Figure Drawing for Artists.
Not sure if anyone's mentioned this one yet, but Framed Ink: Drawing and Composition for Visual Storytellers by Marcos Mateu-Mestre is a fantastic book for composing shots.
Amazing recommendation!

DUUUUUDE! I just ordered the Scott book yesterday, and it is the same book that you recommended
YESSS, I have the beginners guide to digital painting characters.
Great book
Burne Hogarth dynamic figure drawing ,Hands , Head and Dynamic wrinkles and Drapery Series are incredible
Japone81 Yes, Burne!!!
Awesome book recomendentions! Thank ya! I been liking Andrew Loomis books lately so i reccomend any of his books!!
I know it says "in Photoshop" in the title, but to anyone who has the book:
Does the advice the book gives really focus on Photoshop? Or can I still learn my money's worth from the book even though I'll be painting in Krita?
I got that How to Marvel- way back in the day and it's the holly grail for this style!
Also try out Michel Lauricella's Morpho books.
This was really good! My friend recommended the Color and Light book, which I picked up, but I'm still missing some of the more basic foundation. Probably gonna look at the Figure Design book and the Painting Characters in Photoshop. I use CSP, but a lot of the functionality is really similar.
Thank you for this list! Really appreciate it!
I used to have one of those books. I'm buying these eventually. Great video👍🏿
perspective made easy (Earnest R Norling)
Perspective Drawing Handbook (Joseph D'amelio)
Hooray! Resources!
Thank you for this video, really really helpful
I recommend Jack Hamm's "drawing the head and figure"
thank you for the recommendation! I am loving it so far
this was my first art book
The spectrum book looks like it'll be great for a Frank Frazetta or a George Kamitami style which I do like.
Great video! going to keep me busy for the next few months.
the best advise Ive heard in a long time
Definitely picking up the figure drawing book
In regards to the Spectrum books for inspiration, another good set is 3DTotal publishings "Drawing from imagination" series.
It would be very nice of you to show us how to study our favorite manga and how to understand the thinking behind the style, so we don't end up copying only
Color and Light is amazing, I can't recommend enough!
Hands! Books! Man talking about books using his hands... _sighs and faints_
Thanks for the book suggestions, Mikey! ❤
I would recommend everything by Burne Hogarth.
Thanks was just shopping for books like these
That's what I do too.I bounce back from video reference to books just to learn to draw better
Hmmm...
3:28 Christopher hearts, my sister had one. I was so into it and I drew a mecha same as he had sketched.
this channel is awesome!
That Michael Hampton book. There's a paid online class based on that book.
If you look hard enough, you can get those classes for free ;)
Cheers mate, that's my christmas list sent to the wife.
Framed Ink by Marcos Mateu-Mestre is well worth getting.

How to Draw Manga: Basics and Beyond!
Is pretty good as well
How do I learn to draw on a computer like David Hockney does???? Thank you its great and thanx again.
James Gurney's book was a bit too technical for me, but I am not good at learning from books in general >.< . There is a book called "Light for Visual Artists by Richard Yat" which I found a bit easier to learn from since it is more practical based.

This is so helpful thanks

I love that one for the ships! I do screen grabs from the game as well if I have a project that involves sea battles
It felt so great when I saw that we have the same Scott Robertson Book! His books and tutorials are always extensive, precise and technical. Highly recommended.
Also, if you are into ink, you may check out Alphonso Dunn's "Pen and Ink Drawing: a simple guide". Very well explained and beginner friendly. Also there are very good tutorials in his youtube channel.

Anyone know what the manga is to the right around 13:17 ? kinda curious
I have that Christopher Hart book.
Hey Mikey, thank you for yet another helpful video. What is the name of the Japanese book that is yet to be translated in English?
great video man
I highly recommend “Loomis figure drawing for all its worth” you can get it for free on the web
Thank you this video was awesome.
as i ve decided to get serious about drawing in 2020 and i am in my 30s i dont have time to waste so great drawing resources are what i need.
i got figure drawing design and invention, the book is OK if you are a beginner. but keep in mind it says VERY LITTLE about how to draw the head and face . it is a beginners book.
If you are serious about your art invest in anatomy books. one of the best out there is - Anatomy for Sculptors. It feels like something a medicine student would use but then again it is so easy to understand and it is in full color. It provides so much information that we all know but we cant use for some reason when we are drawing, although it is deep in out heads.
If you can afford it buy the hardcover version. it is expensive but it is worth every cent. i got the pdf version and i printed it out in black and white and now i am coloring it (ppffff), but it feels so wrong, like i took something holy and i defiled it.
Anyways then get the books of Andrew Loomis ( but they arent for beginners, they are very overwhelming , too much information). Thye are old but damn they are magnificent. they will open your eyes to a whole new world. that guy really knew what he was doing.
and keep practicing every day , it really matters, as i have found out the hard way.
Did you get any of the Mark Crielly how to draw books or Draw with jazza's book? What about the imagine FX magazines? I actually have the manga art and theory book, and the figure drawing books.
Great Vid! Thanks for sharing :)
Mikey do you recommend learning traditional figure drawing and then adapting those techniques to the looser exagerated manga/comic art or just starting with manga/comic style art when learning to draw? Do i need to study bridgeman and loomis or can i just study mcfarlane and campbell?
I need them all immediately
I got figure drawing design and invention and manga in theory and practice. Time to get some more I guess

DRAWING B👀K : DRAWING CUTTING EDGE ANATOMY by CHRISTOPHER HART 🤔
Thanks for the info. I thought I was the only one who liked the Spectrum books. What are your thoughts on artist block. I've been struggling to get back in the swing of things.
how do you keep your books in such a good condition?
Could I use "Beginners Guide to Painting Photoshop Characters" with other software such as Clip Studio Paint? Thank you.
Do you think these would help with digital art? '
Any recommended books for drawing human anatomy in perspective? Or does the Objects and Environments kinda translate that in conjunction with Michael Hampton's book?
I love the choices we have today.
Now don't forget - do quick search for "Crumb, drawing advice" - you'll get a neat primer. Draw, practice wishing won't make it happen. From Robert Crumb - king of the 60s underground comix and an awesome illustrator.
But we do like inspiration and the works of others to help
There's a classic - "The Encyclopedia of Fantasy and science fiction art" Grant/Tiner - really inspiring - and due to being very reprinted can find a cheap copy easily.
A modern derivative using much from it and smaller is "The fantasy art bible"
I'd also recommend Conway's Drawing and Painting Fatnasy figures/Worlds books
Thank you 🙏🏽
Is Color and light good for more than just painting?
I wish the how to draw book by Houtengeki was printed in English, for now, only the first chapter is available through a scanlation.
Albert dorne master illustrator, just a great book of one of, if not, the best illustrator of all time
