Great reference book for illustrators
So i got this book a while back. It was a recommended book from my illustration teacher. I must say it's a great little book full of great references. It goes in good detail of all the techniques available in good ole' illustration. This is NOT anything to do with digital illustration. It's about the real craft of real illustration. Hands on stuff.
