The Encyclopedia of Fantasy and Science Fiction Art Techniques 16 reviews
John Grant, Ron Tiner
Running Press Book Publishers, 1996
a pioneer and still a strong resource
Way back when I was first interested in seriously improving my skills, this book was about the only thing I could find anywhere. Maddening to look through a dozen similar books on watercolor flowers when you wanted to do knights and dragons. Now, at last, there are a lot of books on the subject, but this book is still one of the best. Not just how to, but a collection of inspirational sources ...

The African Queen (Oxford Bookworms Library)16 reviews
Cecil Scott Forester
Oxford University Press, 2004
Refugees on a Mission
I will not reveal the ending; I will say only that it does not end with the German captain of the Louisa marrying the protagonists just as the ship impales itself on the overturned African Queen's torpedoes. C. S. Forester's ending requires less suspension of disbelief, less "deus ex machina." Throughout the voyage of refugees Rose Sayer and Mr. Allnutt down the Ulanga and Bora Rivers in German ...

Mass: The Art Of John Harris 1 review
Ron Tiner
Sterling, 2000
Space, the final frontier
This is a huge collection of the work done by John Harris. Most of his art is obsessed with space and the machines that travel it. The work is amazing in that it captures the infinite quality of space: cold, bleak, lonely, and never ending. There are also paintings of the machines that must travel it in search of new resources or just exploration. The paintings are very unique and beautiful. But ...

Figure Drawing Without A Model 12 reviews
Ron Tiner
David & Charles, 2008
One of the best books on the subject
The first and best advice comes from Robert Crumb, underground artist extrodinaire: "Wanna draw better? Draw. Wishing won't make it happen!"
Now, if you still want to spend money on the subject there are art classes or in this case inspirational/advisement/genre books.
This book helped me go a level up by pointing out I could pause a VCR (or in this day, Cable TV and DVD) for endless ...

Lorenz Books, 1998
A great bargain...and my son loves it!
My 4yr old son loves this book so much he took a nap with it! The character voices are the actual ones from the TV show. This was my son's first read-along book and he was able to follow along with the narration. I think this will help him with his reading. And, this book is a great deal because there are four stories in one book. I wish there were other Bob the Builder 4-in-1 story ...
