[@lulusketches]

I need the spiderverse art book!!

[@devALLjapan]

Hand drawn....perhaps Bambi Digital....zootopia or how to train your dragon 2 And I’m gonna add Claymation fav...Coraline

[@lyn1940]

Omg, I love the artbook for Into the Spider-Verse. It's what got me into animation.

[@SenseixXD]

(using my bf's account lol) For me, 2D has always been Pocahantas. I fell in love with art, specifially background art ever since I saw it when I was younger. For Digital: Definitely Into the Spider-Verse.

[@danielc2530]

Hand drawn: Jungle Book and the like Digital: Tangled, Frozen, The Book of Life

Everytime a movie comes out I lurk on the internet for concept art books. Even when I can't buy it, i save it on my wishlist. 😳

[@Dhrjktbt]

Same lol

[@LannasMissingLink]

I'm waiting for the Kipo book. Need it!

[@MarshmallowSketches]

You just described what i do for a living.

[@maimunavenzant7581]

Saaaaame ....its so bad xD

[@lxstfixna291]

Same, I do it for games too. I get sad when I search for a game art book and there isnt one : (

[@brittna]

it makes me so happy that you love Brave, too! i love when it gets the props it deserves!

[@steelbat54]

It made me smile to see your passion for your profession and the books that inspire you. It’s rare that anyone comes across that one thing that forever will motivate you endlessly.. Drawing once did that for me. So I can appreciate your videos.. I still have all of my art books. Frazetta, Boris.. one of the books that I treasure is The Art Of Walt Disney that I bought way back in the early 1970’s. The edition that I believe is still available is very much abridged. Mine is this huge coffee table hardcover with an embossed Mickey Mouse on the cover. It still has the acetate protective dust jacket that came with it. Thanks for this video.. 😊

[@Kirsed_Amaryllis]

I have never clicked so fast!! Gahh i love your vids!! You're honestly my inspiration❤️❤️

[@pantugamer2010]

Le UndercoverMermaid totally agree 😂😂😂

[@caedogeist]

Thank you! I've added a couple to my wish list now. If you haven't seen it already, I would really recommend the Art of Rise of the Guardians book. Those are some of my favorite character designs

[@lulusketches]

ooh that one was on my list! I love that movie!!

[@alainabelding1654]

Wait, who hates Brave??? It’s so underrated and I never knew why.

[@carolm.d.6967]

I was asking the same thing! It's one of my favourite films!

[@andrewjenkins9965]

Right? There's a beautiful, magical atmosphere to it, and it's a sweet story about finding common ground with your family.

[@faehana1638]

I think it's because it's not your typical Disney princess movie

[@joylolly4458]

I know I'm a bit late, but for me, when I saw the trailers, I got a certain vibe from them, and an idea of what path the film would take. When I watched it, I didn't get the same vibe, and it totally went from an 'adventure' that I was thinking it would have, to most of it about Merida and her bear mom trying to turn her mom back to human. It just felt kinda disappointing in that aspect. Though, tbh, of all the films I've seem that ended up being more disappointing than exciting, Brave is one of my personal exceptions. I loved the characters, I loved the setting and environment, so, while not quite what I had expected, for me, at least, it wasn't the worst.

[@re_animatedabby6791]

I don't hate Brave I do really like the movie but I think the reason why people didn't like it was due to the original trailer and concept art. It was quite misleading as the original plan for the movie was much for mystic action orientated and a darker tone. So quite a few people weren't pleased with the end result. While I cry for the movie Brave could have been I still very much enjoy it as is.

[@mightymidge101]

YES! Zelda is my biggest inspiration too! Lol I even learned how to swim by watching how link swam and now I forever swim like a sideways frog

[@Beanie84]

I LOVE collecting art books too! One of my all time favorites is the Art of Tarzan, a massive tome full of sketches, character designs (a TON of Glen Keane's art), and background paintings. Each chapter/section of the book was flanked by large sketches printed on heavily textured brown toned paper, almost like it was taken out of an actual sketchbook. It was a gift from my dad years ago that's continued to be a fountain of inspiration. It probably weighs like, 2 whole Mabels, but highschool me sure did haul that sucker around in my backpack EVERYWHERE. Anyway Glen Keane is great, you're great and it was great of you to share your collection with us :D

[@Woodlahe]

Loved this video ! The "art of" collection looks amazing = need them on my shelf of wonders as soon as possible :) ! (And loved the way you say "Ratatouille" ^^). Thanks for your videos and can't wait to see what your next projects are !

[@BalkanRedneck]

I would also recommend "The Art of American McGee's Alice" some genuinely creepy and memorable background and character designs in there.

[@candylin]

I am so glad I came upon your video. I am no artist but I am a creative person. I visited your tumbler for the first time today and I am going to go off on my own art project.

[@emeraldgrace1665]

eyy... almost forgot about art books! I remember the first one I saw was a Tarzan one. It was so old, and nobody else wanted to read it because it wasn't a storybook. But I was soooo fascinated by it! I was like, "They make books like this?! Wow!" Btw, I love Brave too! 😊

[@wheatart4274]

Heh. You've probably gotten a ton of other recommendations, but Art of Rise of the Guardians is one of my top faves (the jacket has different art than the book!) That is a fantastic collection!

[@fioreirving]

So glad you’re still animating! TVPaint is awesome and you definitely have great books. I went to animation school, the first two were required and suggested books. I NEED that Ratatouille book

[@SkydotRivers]

The How To Train Your Dragon art books are a MUST have for any art book collection! I have them & they are my favorite!! I look at them all the time BEAUTIFUL!

[@garycherrington21]

Brave is an exceptional movie!! One of my fav art of books to!

[@malloreyrogers7987]

Omg Laura I took a small break from your channel, came back and YOU HAVE OVER 150K SUBSCRIBERS NOW! AMAZING

[@andreacvazquez7026]

I looove Brave. It's my favorite movie of all of them. It's just.... PERRRRRFECT😍😍😍

[@user-lw7ng1ep2u]

You bring back my love for drawing&disney! I love you so much❤️😍

[@laurawoodman4187]

Absolutely loved this video. The art of bools are truly beautiful and inspiring. Currently own the tangled and moana one but definitely planning for more 😊

[@glowman71]

So, I had to drop a comment. I have two daughters who want to go into animation (teens currently), and this is one of the best birthday/xmas shopping lists I could ever stumble upon- thank you!

[@kingtigerbooks1162]

My 3 favorite art books are: - The Art of Rowena by Rowena Morrill - Spectrum 5 by Arnie Fenner - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

[@Max-1906]

Great collection but the art of Spiderman into the spiderverse is missing out...it's my first art of book and I have to say the art of the film was ridiculously over the top...I mean it'll be one of top fav if not no. 1

[@lulusketches]

it's on my wish list, one of my favorite movies too! a couple of my friends did a ton of the art, so I've seen a lot of it already! I still want the book though

[@Max-1906]

[@arkham626]

Brave is also one of my top favorites as well

[@salfordnurse]

Have you see the “They Drew as the Pleased” series, really great series. Of books, latest volume comes out later this year. Also have you ever removed the dust jackets from the Disney books? The actual board covers have fab individual designs

[@ragingsithmaster]

I have all 4 books, but if you love the art from the Zelda games, you need Art and Artifacts which was the next book after the Hyrule Historia. Love your videos!

[@ragingsithmaster]

@Josh Rowe Creating A Champion is great but if I had to pick just one book, then it would be Art and Artifacts, without a doubt. I say that being a Zelda fan since the beginning. The art of the first 3 games is particularly nostalgic and special to me. :)

[@caz_shen]

I love how the editing takes her down a notch hehe

[@kyleefrazer3213]

I seriously never get tired of watching Tangled!❤ Brave is also really beautiful.

[@sabineshelly]

your number 2 and 1 is my favourite as well. I loveeeeeeee your number 1 BRAVE

[@JuJuTheWulfPup]

I loved Brave a lot, too. I don't recall crying at any other movie ever. I just really felt the whole "listen to your parents instead of yourself" plot so much. And the doing something and regretting it and just ...YES

[@sunnyevergladesmlp5393]

I can tell that you are a massive pixar fan those movies always hit different the more you watch them

[@animateangus]

Great collection! I was lucky enough to meet Richard Williams when I was 16 or 17. Such a huge inspiration and his book is a must own for anyone interested in animation.

[@joeblankenship377]

I bought that Animator's Survival Kit book years ago when I thought maybe I wanted to be an animator. What I learned was that I wasn't drawing nearly enough to even be on my way to doing classic 2d animation. Drawing more now though. Still think animation would be too hard for me.

[@KelliPaints]

Yaaassss Brave is my favorite too! I need to get my hands on a couple of the ones you have!! ❤️ Thanks for sharing 😁

[@bialk0]

I had no idea about this books... But as an illustrator myself, you made me feel like buying some of them, especially Zootopia and Ratatouille ;; Thank you for this!!

[@myrandameans2123]

It'd be so fun to watch a video on which video games/anime movies have the best artwork and why you liked them :)

[@nat6098]

I loved Brave and I don't care if not a lot of other people liked it. I have the art of Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away and I'm saving for the Totoro and Princess Mononoke because I love those movies. I'm starting to learn how to play the viola and I might also pick up the violin so I'm also saving up for the ghibli movie sheet music because it's so pretty.

[@inaanjakossowska6990]

Brave and the Robin Hood are my all-time favorites from Disney animated films! I think I know what I want for my next b-day🤔😊

[@ggnsart]

This video made my art book loving heart SO happy!

[@Ryusirius]

What would be the best thing to do or have to get better with your art? Based off what you said at the beginning you can't learn from a book or tutorials bored you? Since you work for Disney and have the experience in the field then what can a artist do to get better? Just time patience and practice?

[@lulusketches]

hey! I made a video called how to improve at drawing, it's here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3vWoZt_e7uSmLM

[@Kinzichi]

Ahh! I love art books! Your collection is great! My favorites that I have are Visual History of Jim Henson's Labyrinth (Brian Froud!!) and my Avatar the Last Airbender art book!!

[@MissBellaHolmes]

Excuse me, but how could anyone dislike Brave? That movie is just gorgeous. The character design are so lovely and all the backgrounds are just amazing and the story, so touching and sweet. Not to mention all the little details with the designs but also in the way the characters interacting with each other... that movie deserves nothing but love. Also the video was very nice. I'll definitely have to grow my collection a bit more ;)

[@tree6814]

You're so honest and direct with art I learn so much from you :)

[@Mlle.Lamarin]

I loooved Monster Academy, all the visual development is absolutely amazing, and brilliant ! I definitely should buy the art book O.O

Great idea - recommending books for instruction and inspiration. Agh, the books I've collected and read over the eons for photography & photoshop, for inspiration, instruction, teaching & lesson plan ideas. Being an instructor has the bonus/benefit of getting books to review for free since I recommend books for students to purchase. The public library is also a great source for these sorts of books too. I often donate my books to the public library or the local Free Library bookstand in my neighborhood.

[@blue_savvy]

I have the whole trio of Zelda books! The Art and Artifacts book has SOOO much more art than Hyrule Historia, and it even includes the newer Zelda games!

[@swing9799]

Savannah Hays I have The Art and Artifacts book - I was going to suggest it too!!!

[@iceman10129]

I feel like Art Of books are all I spend my money on these days. Tangled definitely is my favorite of the collection. Ratatouille also has some fantastic color pieces. I also used the art of books for pretty much all of my tattoos (Mononoke being my favorite, back to back with my Merida tattoo haha).

[@bernardrichards9247]

Rewatching this!! Always love your videos, so happy to have met you at Lightbox. PS--yes--the Irish step dance pants are leather! ;)

[@madisonlohr6492]

why would Brave get a lot of hate? It's a really good movie and Meridas hair the enviroments and the music was all beautiful and they actually gave Merida an accent from her country.

Maybe Merida kinda bland like Elsa and like without their powers and tragedy it will just be a boring character

Also I feel kinda dumb: did you say you WORKED or you work on Tangled the series? Because it sounds like 'worked' and I definitely though you still worked there lol!
