Creating Characters with personality by Tom Bancroft

"Creating Characters has never been easy for me. The designs don't gives themselves up without a struggle; there are no formulas for a quick and easy path. To design the character i do hundreds of drawing, exploring and waiting for that moment of recognition when i can see the face of the character I am searching for staring back at me. That is the magic moment I am always working to achieve" Glen Keane

Typography Workbook

There is an elegance to letters and words I appreciate. The shape of individual letters and the way they fit together beautifully, when set properly, is noticeably better than slap-dash text thrown down with little care.

This book covers the fundamentals of dealing with type and shows how it is best used in graphic design. It includes detail on the general mechanics of typography, such as the dos and don’ts of typesetting, alignment, kerning, leading, information on optimal line length for legibility, etc. There are numerous examples illustrating the information discussed plus graphic design styles from around the world too.

The Typography Workbook was a good refresher for me, an experienced designer, but it would also prove helpful to those just starting out, as well. I found this book informative and educational but especially loved the fun layout! That, in and of itself, was useful to me. I was surprised by the high volume of graphic design samples. They took up half the book and, though interesting to look at, not all seem to pertain to typography.

Anatomy for Fantasy Artists: An Illustrator's Guide to Creating Action Figures and Fantastical Forms

I really enjoyed this book, mainly because there were step by step instructions, and some great illustrations. It really sets this art apart from everything else. Fantasy Art really is art, not cartoons, not that cartooning isn't art, mind you.
Fantasy Art alloys the artist to be as creative as possible, in "designing " the ultimate character. What fun this was to read and slobber over.

Perspective: A Guide for Artists, Architects and Designers by Gwen White

This book started so well. I had wide eyes and high hopes like "yes, finally, I will learn and understand perspective, goddamn!" and I read it so attentively. 

And then. Then I am not even sure what changed, suddenly it was more like a college book for architects and designers and I fell into despair. This book failed me too, like the previous one, I was not able to learn perspective. Maybe I'm too stupid but I'll have to find another book. The book itself has lots of drawings and I actually think it could be really good for someone who has an instructor or a bit of background knowledge ( or more of a mathematical brain then I do)

Ernest R. Norling - Perspective Made Easy

Perspective, the author tells us, is easy; yet surprisingly few artists are aware of the simple rules that make it so. This easy-to-follow book — the first devoted entirely to clarifying the laws of perspective.

Originally published in 1939, this Dover Book reprint has faithfully reproduced the original illustrations and the text is clear and easy to read. As a technique book, Norling covers each topic in simple steps with clear illustrations of each idea. If you're a beginner, this book will be very helpful, especially if you don't have a teacher and are trying to learn on your own.

I picked up this book to help me prepare lesson plans for next fall, and I was pleasantly surprised at the range of topics Norling covers, some of which I'd never considered before, and some which I haven't thought of since I was an art student back in the dark ages. Overall, a pleasant surprise and a useful resource for artists, teachers, and students.

In this book Brian Edwards explains that drawing hand in the field of architects is needed to analyze and get to know the building. In this second edition of the book is also equipped with history and archeology. The book is full of illustrations and we can see that hand drawing is still important to do as a tool of creativity and a keen understanding of building. but of course the construction drawing must be learned skillfully. If not how will the results later?

Squid Robot Boss Enemy

Now I will introduce an asset game product that is on www.graphicriver.net which I think is interesting. The name of the product is "Squid Robot Boss Enemy" from the title we know that the game asset is the king of crooks for the end of the stage.
Ok now we see. The file is created using a soft vector, and to animate it using Spriter pro. Animations that have been created in this bundle include:
Squid: fly
Squid: fly end
Squid: idle
Squid: idle to fly
Squid: gatling gun ready
Squid: gatling gun shoot
Squid: gatling gun shoot FX
Squid: gatling gun end
Squid: rocket ready
Squid: rocket shoot
Squid: rocket shoot FX
Squid: rocket end
Squid: dead start
Squid: dead

Looking at this product I so ask, what is this character for? But I can imagine the sincerity of the creator in making this character.

Actually if we examine more deeply, the creator wants freedom when making this character because if he makes the main character he will be stuck with what kind of game he will make. But with him making his main enemy we can imagine him, guess what kind of game we will use for this character.

info Gigs

I will introduce one of the products that are sold at fiverr.com. This artist makes a vector of your photo with its own style, I think this is not a cartoon because there is no outline between the color difference. This allows the results achieved not only as an avatar or photo profile but as an illustration of magazine or website or fashion.

How to Draw Comic by John Byrne

This book is very interesting because we are invited to learn to make comics with comic story style so that we can digest the contents of the lesson. This 32-page comic is so complete that John Byrne presents stage-by-step comic production processes and what a comic artist needs, drawing comic anatomy, story telling, and so on.

I think this book is worth reading for anyone who wants to be a comic artist.
But to deepen the knowledge of comics, this book is still on the surface only.
