Art Library

I mean the name says it all. But here I simply list out books that I bought, read or got suggested by fellow artists that would be a good read for any one on the artistic journey, dive in the art library and find some things you might be interested in. – Yes yes yes, more books are following but I need to make time to add them.

Art & Fear

This book is about what it feels like to sit in your art place, trying to do the work you want to do. It’s about committing your future to your own hands, placing free will above predestination, choice above chance. It’s about finding your own work.

Steal like an artist

I enjoyed this book, and it frees up some of the things in your mind what might be holding you back. It’s a short read and has some nice examples on being a productive creative.

Creating Portraits

Full of interesting approaches from different artists. But mainly the basics well explained! For me one of my favorites artist Astri Lohne added a tutorial to this book, which made me buy it!

Mastering Drawing the Human Figure

I’m focussing more on studying the human figure now and absorbing what ever resource is on my list. This book is a highly recommended one by other artists!
