apparently i'm spending a lot of money today

[@HazalElise]

"if i walk into a bookshop it's game over" aaa i can relate to this sooo much

[@ChromaMoma]

mood

[@_snowylil]

I found a book the other day of Women's Fashion Through the Twentieth Century or something and it looked s o amazing but it was $65AUD and I had a whole $3 in my bank account so I just wrote it down for later and cried

[@visual_chris]

Bruh I read manga too I‘m so fucked😅

[@Murimz]

​@@visual_chris u can just look at it online bruh. U dont have to spend money, thats just you.

[@teacupanimates]

@@Murimz a lot of people prefer books to be physical, including manga. music, games and other forms of media have mostly turned digital due to convenience but now pushing it to books is a little much. its nice to have a physical thing, you hold in your hand and you own. but that's just me.

[@davidtijero2166]

For years I've been trying to find this book about dinosaurs I would rent from the library whenever it was available as a kid, I found it through you, It was "Dinotopia: The World Beneath" Thank you!

[@ChromaMoma]

I'm glad you found it! James Gurney is a such a legend.

[@mishasnow505]

the dinotopia books are available in hardcover as 25 anniversary editions from Dover Books

[@oyidzire]

The KZbinr we didn't know we needed but the KZbinr we always wanted😌

[@Schesso]

Man this is a dangerous video I'm about to watch...

[@ChromaMoma]

abandon hope all ye who enter here

[@kerri6011]

the pink made in Korea book is gorgeous, really inspiring

[@violetta2964]

I can relate so much to everything you‘re saying. I am at art school as well, but I studie graphic design too and I would rather get into animation or like anything where I can draw traditionally. I would consider myself self taught too.

[@zachabsher8546]

After "self" teaching myself animation for a few months ide love a teacher lmao

[@uhhwhateverdude9463]

Great video! The North Korea book is so fascinating! It’s like getting a glimpse into the forbidden places you’d probably not visit yourself.

[@laurenseabert4847]

“I don’t know if I’m pronouncing it wrong, if I am; get over it” HAHAHAH iconic

[@trash3719]

I know. That just came out of no where. It wasn't mean, but it seemed more aggressive in the moment. I was going to leave a comment about it because it was so funny but you already left one

[@ambersoyihu]

The confidence I need but never knew existed.

[@deadinside4372]

these vids are soo clean

[@user-jm1re7kj9j]

Ikr and that makes you wanna watch them again and again

[@thespiritofthecommentssect3664]

Me: *Walks into bookshop* Cashier: 🤩 $$$ 🤩 Me: Hey, Janet...

[@alanmartinez4579]

Keep the video’s coming my guy, I discovered your channel like 4 days ago and I’ve binged all your videos and I love them all. Keep making great stuff.❤️👍❤️👍

[@sketchiestscribbles3130]

"if i walk into a bookshop it's game over" oh shit, I just subscribed.

[@Ekpap]

Thanks for sharing this! I didn't realize how many amazing art books there were out in the wild.

[@whitechs1225]

I agree on your sentiment towards reference books. They motivate and inspire me a lot in my designs too! They are actually the thing that give me “ah i wanna try drawing this and that with this and that” lol

[@Leigh-lq2uf]

James Gurney is one of my favourites, he's truly a legend! Thanks for the video!

[@h1imw3ird17]

I want to look into books that can help me improve my art skills & knowledge so this was really helpful, thank you so much! Keep up with the great content! :D

[@blablamccain4986]

Check out your library, they often have classic books about the Renaissance artists and sometimes even other time periods. I do this to get the big artbooks that are too expensive. I borrow them, copy the paintings, drawings, then give them back to the library and borrow a new one.

[@h1imw3ird17]

@@blablamccain4986 Thank you so much for the tip! I appreciate it and will try to do that as soon as I can

[@mothkip]

Hi I absolutely love your videos and your approach to art and I think it’d be really cool if you made a video on how you use reference. Although I’ve been drawing for many years I’d still consider myself a beginner and I’m looking to improve through channels like yours.

[@BlackFrederic]

Simon Stålenhag pronouciation was on point!

[@mslightbulb]

The nasa book is supercool! The only artbook art book I own is GRIS. It basically goes over all the art from concept to finish in the game and has very little text. I like it because you can see all of the animation frames for characters, how the architecture developed. It’s a pretty good visual development book if you just want to visually see how they got to the finished product. Though of course I would recommend it more to general illustrators than game artist, since it is more worried about the art than something like game functions, graphic UI and all those things usual industry games have.

[@ChromaMoma]

Thanks for the suggestion! I loved GRIS so much. The gameplay was alright but man, were the visuals breathtaking.

[@the_Googie]

Electric State is also my favorite Artbook. It's my goto for inspiration, to have the ability to tell stories visually like this, is the dream of a storyteller... Its the closest a single person can get to telling a movie-level story. I LOVE your channle

[@rovnaart]

For me to show what you buy and cherish book wise is a such a personal look into person's mind. And yours is so specific and goal oriented with appreciation for beauty, loved it!

[@wumbyu]

i no longer found an interest in picking up art books recent and i don't know why.. but this was good motivation to get back into it!

[@purplejuniper8]

still staying indoors where I live right now, so this is the perfect video! love the range of books you recommend, can't wait for more vids! 💪💪

[@mochiness]

These are great choices! I'd also recommend of any of Superani's Kimjunggi's sketchbook collections! I have these books and they are all well worth purchasing! I haven't heard of the korean packaging book, but i will add that to my wishlist!

[@DJ-sr9gp]

These are so cool, thank you for the recommendations! I needed to fill out my bookshelf anyway.

[@Hungle-oo]

Ive been EYEING that electric state book

[@katebridgebuilder420]

I know I'm a little late, but I feel like you would really love a book called Soviet Bus Stops, the foreword is by Johnathan Meades, Damon Murray took the photos (I think). I found it super inspiring architecturally!

[@gerganadiakova983]

Hey, if you enjoyed 'Made in North Korea', you might be interested in the photography books by Fuel-design . They cover a lot of design and architecture from the post-Soviet countries, pretty much from cityscapes to wrapper design. Love your videos by the way!

[@hrita4488]

I can see the passion in the books.

[@ceruleanmemoir]

This is really cool and educational. We need more of Artbook haul so we can learn which book to buy.

[@oliviaj9037]

I would recommend any of the concept art books by Disney! I own tangled, Moana, and brave and they’re immensely inspirational. Getting to see the process and all of the wonderful art that goes into each decision is amazing. There’s also a real mix of styles and subject. (I also enjoyed Hayo Miyazaki’s spirited away art book and Heikala’s art book if you want more concept art books)

[@밬카스]

뭔진모르겠는데 저 조선이라는 두글자와 알고리즘이 나를 여기로 이끌었다.

[@potatonicks2610]

Thanks for this video!! I'm new to art books and I love the bit you said about reference books. 💖

[@aettic]

A Book you may like, "Cargo in the Blood" by Russell Mills. It's all about the art that went into the Nine Inch Nails album Hesitation Marks. It's one of the most profound art books I've ever read. It's a little expensive though. Beyond the fantastic art (multimedia pieces), the textual content of the book is very philosophical and introspective. Russell Mills gives a very deep insight into his thoughts on art, and ideas such as the beauty of decay.

[@koschke3909]

Nice. I was looking for book of this type but I don’t have money. So, now I am more tempted to buy some. THX

[@svenf8947]

It's so funny, I walked into a bookstore 3 days ago just to browse and to see if they had a copy of Orwells 1984 because I recently got interested in reading "the classics". Left with the electric state. I'd never heard of it or the author/artist before. Now, 3 days later, I stumble across your youtube channel and since I liked the first video I saw begin to watch a few of them while working. And there it is again. It's like it's calling out to me or something. Strange haha. Another art book I can wholeheartedly recommend though is Jamie Hewlett, basically a collection of his works and it's great. Mostly comic style but also a few photographs, water color paintings and other stuff. And the dude has such a nice style.

[@justarandompeep8945]

I’ve been purposefully leaving this video in my watch later for a long time cuz I know what I’m gonna do once I see a book I like😭

[@koyaaanisquatsi]

Really enjoyed watching this, thanks! If you have more art books, would love to see part 2!

[@Ekpap]

I picked up the book on "how to Draw" by Scott Robertson, and I just wanted today that it's helping me a ton with perspective drawing! Again, thanks for sharing Chroma Moma.

[@ins7396]

Hi! 11:58. Left side says apples boiled with sugar or smith like this in Russian :)

[@sleepyhead3096]

Thanks for making a video about this! I love the books mentioned- Really enjoyed it. Keep it up with the great content :D

[@skullseeker3013]

I have that problem, when I can't stop buying artbooks, n some art supplies, even if I don't have money at that specific moment

[@kittea1804]

i've never seen that made in north korea book! definitely trying to track that down!

[@Matroskyy]

[@vietzscheallagard2129]

Try the works of Jene Giraud, like his Moebius series!

[@brendan7863]

Loveee u so much like not seriously but as a KZbin u know? U have taught me so much and I thank u for that! KEEP GOING CHROMAMOMA

[@edzejandehaan9265]

I agree that "made in North Korea" book is intruiging! But it is your two first suggestions that are on my wishlist...

[@16LifeGames]

Fantastic 😊 My favorite book is Saturno Buttò by The Guide Artists. Amazing quality.

[@somdeepadas5525]

Thanks a lot for these recommendations! These look like they were a LOT of help.

[@altahir9515]

[@Bepiseater]

[@dvnlxg]

[@nataliadedios]

Nice ! Already came across one or two of these.

[@CNDVL]

[@denisalzuflen8964]

in a book from north korea🇰🇵 there is a photo of a Soviet apple juice packaging 🚩😄

[@mikekazz5353]

I legit thought that the white marks on the pink book was a floral like pattern and now all I think about is how relentless silverfish are.

[@spag5296]

If you do Amazon affiliate links, I would ask if you could consider having links for other regions. I personally use Amazon UK

[@letsplaywithlife3063]

I love your channel bro!! Keep on moving... Btw Your 12 hours sketchbook challenge inspired me a lot ...

[@ChromaMoma]

Happy to hear that!

[@Madlojic]

Love your videos + the aesthetic, keep it up : ). I was inspired to start my own sketchbook to keep everything I draw together. dunno if you take any suggestions, but would love to see a video on how you approach figure/people drawing ^^

[@noelseo9928]

I went to a book store in fall and saw “made in North Korea” it really stood out because of the pink colour. I couldn’t buy it though and thought I could come back for it but it was all sold out :/

[@semisunnie]

Also if you want more free art books sign up to artschools newsletters; they send out free art books! I got a ton when trying to decided what art school I wanted to attend and they have a bunch of amazing art in them from their artist!

[@abdullahrahman2310]

Wow

[@looonghair-indv]

i just wanted to see what noel saw in that book...

[@JoeMama-io5fz]

My birthday's coming up and I now know exactly what I'm getting xD

[@TheForkU]

[@Belenseg1]

[@greateagle2076]

"Figure Drawing Design and Invention" By Michael Hampton Is a very good anatomy art book an I totally recommend you buy it.

[@bramh3383]

[@matthewbrookeart]

[@Goodsocks12]

[@karib3909]

*sees James Gurney's books* ah yes, a man of culture I see 😌

[@JuanCarlos_SP]

Hi, Do you have the book called Vision: Color and composition for film? or maybe you have seen it? This book has been created by Hans P Bacher and Sanatan Suryavanshi and another question What do you think about Andres Loomis´ Books? and finally your channel is very inspiring to continue drawing. Thanks

[@zannatulnayema2300]

Please do a video on how to draw figures😭

[@hanzgetzeflammenwefer1049]

Is there any way you could get these digitally? I’d love to have these but I just don’t have the space for them

[@yingkaik]

Just started getting into sketching and trying to draw. Great Channel! Where do you usually look for your books? Solely through Amazon?

[@calipsous]

awesome books!!

[@GeneScribbles]

I remember i also used to just spending my hours inside of bookshops! Gosh my money go woosh~ hahaha

[@teo4evermj]

Very good recommendations. Also check out James Gurney's blog and KZbin channel. A lot of great information, in particular about watercolour and gouache painting. He's masterful.

[@benmmarino]

He had a “silver fish” problem in his bookshelf. ?

[@henriquechiaradiafelicio996]

amazing, amazing, amazing

[@jewels6588]

I might be the first one to admit this but... I thought silverfish were only in Minecraft

[@doctorchuck6737]
