Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey there! Here, I'm going to buy and review a new art-related book every month, meow!

Aside from giving me an excuse to spend all my money. . . You guys get to see some interesting books, and you get a review that's NOT copy-and pasted from amazon, or stolen from Overstock. Also, I like to shop around, capeesh? So, you get the best deal xp

Sound good? SWEET.

If you have a book you'd like to add to the list, post away, meow! :3

October: PERSPECTIVE!


This month's book is one of my absolute favourites: Perspective! for Comic Book Artists: How to Achieve a Professional Look in Your Artwork by David Chelsea. Okay, okay, so you're probably thinking that that's a bit of a boastful title, but it gives what it promises. At least, for me. . . sweatdrop

Now, I'm not the smartest person in the world: when I was in fifth grade, my art teacher tried to teach me about perspective, and I couldn't even comprehend that. Trust me, some of that stuff is pretty confusing: try googling some of the Masters' roughs on perspective. C-O-N-F. . . how do you spell the rest?

Well, to get to the point, this book explains things in an easy-to-understand, almost. . . *GASP* fun to read way! Which is the point, right? Mr. Chelsea uses a comic book format to explain important and abstract aspects of perspective, and teach you something! YES! A book that teaches you important aspects of art. . . with PICTURES.
