ARTBOOKS/ visual works books.

[redboi]

hey everyone,
im going to be regularly posting artbooks/visual works books from here on out, starting with this post. I wasnt sure as to where to post this..if in the direct downloads [because they are] or in this section as they are also for educational purposes. I will be posting how-to books,art collection books, tutorial links, as well as actual books pertaining to art and its history, and designwork books. This will be time consuming, as i have many and can only upload so quickly, so bear with me. I hope you all can take something from these files, as i have. Ill try to upload instructive books as well as entertaining books, as many can serve as reference. If anyone is looking for a certain book, series artworks, or tutorial in something specific, let me know and ill try to look for something for you. I hope you guys like them as much as i did. Here we go...





For Starters:



How to draw manga. Vol. I. Compiling Characters.zip
How to Draw Manga vol01: Compiling Characters
This books is great, I remember buying this as a child and using it endlessly for reference. It is very good for beginners and covers things from character creation to tips for building a simple storyline. Its very detailed and the examples in it are simply beautiful. I would gladly recommend this book to anyone, as it withstands the test of time. [many times i go back and check out things i used to use as instruction or reference as a child, and unfortunately they usually dont look so good to me as an adult. Kind of a "WTF was i on?" moment. This book still looks great to me today.]






How To Draw Manga - Volume 6 - Battles.zip
How to Draw Manga Vol 06: Battles

Everyone whos ever drawn a battle scene knows how hard they are to illustrate, getting the motion right as well as being able to show the power often in them. This books is part of the HTDM series as well, but focuses on battle scenes as well as poses. Its good for beginner-intermediate artists and I recommend it to anyone who attempts making manga or action-inclusive artwork.





EYE CANDY:





[DPG]Tatsuyuki_Tanaka_-_Cannabis_Works.zip
Cannabis Works by Tatsuyuki Tanaka
This artbook is one of my favorites.The work put into it is amazing and absolutely beautiful. It is not very instructive [unless you can read kanji], however i think anyone can learn something from it by simply looking at/studying it. It includes storyboards and art work from Tanaka from studio 4ºC. The attention to detail, angles, compostion and story is wonderful and i hope you enjoy it as much as i have.




Heres a peek, in case it isnt your cup-o-tea~









This concludes my first post, expect many more [slowly though. haha. i can only upload so much!]. I intend to spread art as much as i can, anywhere i can. :] enjoy, take care, and see you all around.

Yay yay yay
When I get some spare time I'm going to start drawing again

BTW good call of posting it here
I'll just move it to the tutorial/work book subforum when our admin creates it


EDIT: Done
Now downloading the first 2
Not sure when I'll have some more time
But I'm going to give it a try again

[TheWolf]

these are worth a look red - appreciate the time uploading , scanning, zipping etc.
that third book DOES look really cool!
it won'tget me drawing again [40 years ago now?] but i appreciate the artwork ...

[Meri]

Yeah the third one definitely looks special!
But well it already takes half an hour to download the first two together
So I'll wait for the third one or my internet/pc isn't going to be very happy

[redboi]

Meri,

thanks for the new forum sub catergory, helps alot. and yeah im totally glad to be able to share them. hope you get to use them. But yeah, sorry they take a while to download, they are quite lengthy.:>

[redboi]

Tom,

no problem man, i love being able to share things i have. i dont expect anyone to randomly start drawing, BUT if you ever doooo~~ there you have it.

Appreciate the time you put into this with uploading Red. I don't think I'll start to swing a pencil or doing that kind of thing but I do like quality and good art so I'll download this sooner or later me thinks.

My faves are Luis Royo and Boris Valejo to name just 2 of the "big ones" LOL. Surely no manga style but it's not "needs must" right ;-)

Looks like I seem to go a little off topic so I cut it here...

[redboi]

Hentai Mark,

lol.[ i love writing hentai in front of your name.]

no problem, its my pleasure. I actually have a friend who loves those artists and am familiar with them. ill def look some stuff up for you and post if i find something good [of course theyre good] ill also post other misc artbooks /traditional artists books too. Not off topic at all- art is art. thanks for the recommendation~

[Meri]

yay yay yay
I hope you have more coming
I've specially deleted my main daily activity to start drawing again

[TheWolf]
