The Last Airbender--North and South Part Two

Review:Entertaining read but nothing really spectacular here. This part of the Promise story really just served as a setup for the conclusion in part 3. If you are a fan of the world of avatar then read all three parts but nothing too incredible here in part 2. Read more

Re-create 12 Iconic Artworks One Sticker at a Time!
Re-create 12 Iconic Artworks One Sticker at a Time!

Review:I originally bought a sticker book from this company from the store and wanted to try other pictures. The quality in this version is completely lacking. The stickers were incorrectly sized for the spaces, the edges weren't straight, and the stickers were barely sticky. I am really disappointed with this purchase. Read more

Figure Drawing for All It's Worth
Figure Drawing for All It's Worth

Review:So I purchased this book after reading Mythology: The DC Comics Arts of Alex Ross in which i discovered that Alex Ross studied Andrew Loomis' book in order to improve both his shading and anatomy. The book arrived on time. I've never purchased an art book before but I was surprised to find out just how easy it was to follow. From learning about shading and how it applies to the human figure to creating form and learning how to apply it on a live model this book was truly a guide into anatomy dra... Read more

A Drawing Guide for Teachers and Students - How to Draw Cool Stuff

Review:I highly recommend this book for children wanting to draw better, former artists needing a refresher or just anyone wanting to make their art better. It is written on a beginner level but goes into some detailed artwork. As a homeschooling mother I love that it includes the vocabulary and background information on some of the art styles.

Unlabel: Selling You Without Selling Out

Review:Marc Ecko provides an honest and insightful look at personal brand creation. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to ANYONE who needs clarity in developing their ideas beyond their imagination. I especially enjoyed the anecdotes and asides. Although, at some points, the asides interrupted the narrative flow, the illustrations/photographs enlighten and entertain. Awesome read; sick-ass story and trilliant execution. Read more

80 Challenges to Sharpen Your Design Skills - Creative Workshop

Review:Having suffered a loss of creativity, I bought this book in the hopes that it would help me get that creative spark back and improve my overall skill. It helped, and in general had some good ideas, but it didn't really help solve the underlying problems. Honestly, I'd buy it used if at all. Read more

Learn Hand Lettering and Brush Lettering - Lettering and Modern Calligraphy

Review:This book is a fun way to learn about calligraphy, but it definitely leans towards “modern” handwriting. Perfect for learning how to write girly cards, canvases, etc. Pages of the book are a little thin. Read more
