[@_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.

[@Schesso]

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

[@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

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

[@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.

[@thespiritofthecommentssect3664]

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

[@kerri6011]

the pink made in Korea book is gorgeous, really inspiring

[@sketchiestscribbles3130]

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

[@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

[@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.❤️👍❤️👍

[@Ekpap]

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

[@sleepyhead3096]

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

[@DJ-sr9gp]

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

[@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! 💪💪

[@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.

[@deadinside4372]

these vids are soo clean

[@user-jm1re7kj9j]

Ikr and that makes you wanna watch them again and again

[@altahir9515]

I just found your channel and I love your videos! I love the funky music underneath, your use of colour and not least of all your content. Keep it up :)

[@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!

[@potatonicks2610]

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

[@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.

[@somdeepadas5525]

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

[@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

[@Mushba.]

YAY NEW VID. you are my fave new channel

[@arianevaillancourt]

Great video! I need more recommendations! 😍 The last two are so unique. Definitely buying them ☺️

[@Leigh-lq2uf]

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

[@tinaholster5495]

Ahhh I want them all!! Great video, loved watching. Thanks for sharing :)

[@localcrow]

Thank you for the recommendations. I’ll definitely pick some of these up.

[@koyaaanisquatsi]

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

[@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

[@wiredpenha3091]

Your videos are so great, you definitely deserve more views

[@ceruleanmemoir]

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

[@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

[@sammi4111]

I actually just bought 3 of the books you recommended, thank you for your recommendation!!

[@CNDVL]

so many wonderful recommendations, thank you! I actually ended up buying one of them lol!

[@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 ^^

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@nataliadedios]

these are so beautiful

[@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

[@yamabiko7179]

that graphical north norea book! really cool! great video, hope to see more(-:

[@Matroskyy]

Great video! Please do bookshelves tour for art of books next.

[@hrita4488]

I can see the passion in the books.

[@retardno002]

I got Scott Robertson's how to draw and how to render books, insane amount of information very intuitively arranged, love them. I could only recommend you get a book of Albrecht Dürer's drawings for inspiration.

[@yuanqihuang1185]

Nice ! Already came across one or two of these.

[@yingkaik]

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

[@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.

[@nan9541]

love this vid

[@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.

[@cassiopeia1396]

once i'm able to go out, i'll save money and buy these. thanks very muchhh :>>>>> i still don't know why you're underrated :

[@jomjomjamboree3751]

Ive been EYEING that electric state book

[@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)

[@BlackFrederic]

Simon Stålenhag pronouciation was on point!

[@letsplaywithlife3063]

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

[@ChromaMoma]

Happy to hear that!

[@whateverbabe]

I loved the "Made in Korea" one it's very creative and authentic

[@calipsous]

awesome books!!

[@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!

[@kittea1804]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@henriquechiaradiafelicio996]

amazing, amazing, amazing

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😭

[@JoeMama-io5fz]

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

[@laneminor6240]

Do you have any books you'd recommend for anatomy?

[@16LifeGames]

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

[@vietzscheallagard2129]

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

[@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.

[@franca3009]

I really like the "Made in North Korea" book, do you know any more like that one?

[@jcparker9804]

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

[@gmoniz]

Tks!

[@karib3909]

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

[@resared8538]

"How to draw" and "How to render" are the Bible books of 3D art

[@edzejandehaan9265]

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

[@lunasylnodel]

i like that 1st shot where the camera is in the closet

[@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

[@abdullahrahman2310]

Wow

[@Belenseg1]

want so much that book of NASA. OMG!

[@sherwinh1661]

hi are you from singapore? where do you buy art books from singapore ? aside from basheer

[@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

[@doctorchuck6737]

great share.

[@spag5296]

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

[@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.

[@GeneScribbles]

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

[@ins7396]

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

[@zannatulnayema2300]

Please do a video on how to draw figures😭

[@denisalzuflen8964]

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

[@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!

[@TheForkU]

holy fuck as soon as I start the video there are gurney's lighting book and the tip of katsuya terada book glancing behind gurney... which have been right next to me for years now... that was kinda touching

Oh my god the DPRK book is AMAZING

[@arjunboyle]

Hey, have anyone heard of libgen?

[@greateagle2076]

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

[@dvnlxg]

That's the book Noel still has in its original wrapping and hasn't opened yet

[@benmmarino]

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

[@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.

[@looonghair-indv]

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

[@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 :/

[@bramh3383]

Noel Miller has that Norrh Korea book lmao
