How I Use Books for Ideas and Art References
Here are some books I use for Ideas and Art References.
I like using books because being familiar with them and knowing what to expect, allows me to construct ideas more efficiently. I still use the internet to search for sources, but if I don't know what to expect then it can take a much longer time than expected. I use the computer so much that my eyes hurt after a while so less time away from the computer equals more time with usable eyes.
I love the Natural History and Anatomy books, they are a main source of ideas and references right now. I often modify the images for my illustrations, like combining creatures, adding different anatomical parts, and changing the color pattern.
In regards to humans and muscles, I actually still use the internet because there are lots of fitness models (and models in general) who are in cool poses with muscles showing everywhere.
For Gem stones and natural crystals, I will actually get inspired by Instagram because I follow a lot of crystal sellers and they take the BEST photos and videos of their products. When I like to do is use the image I find on Instagram as a base, then look up the gemstone in the GEM book to learn more about it, then I will modify the image to suit my illustration.
Let me know if you have any questions about art ideas, drawing, inking, or coloring.
