I've been collecting art books since high school and now I've amassed a lovely small library! To this day, I seek art books out at conventions and bookstores like a treasure hunter in a role-playing game. Art book reviews have been frequently requested in the past, and I'm pleased to finally share my favorites with you all. Now that Josh (my future hubby to be) will be leading editing, we are hoping to continue elevating the quality of videos moving forward! I hope you enjoy going over these 30 books and perhaps you will discover a new literary gem for yourself! Also, You can now join my New Discord Community: https://discord.gg/mJKGRp4 This is free to join and a hub to share, work, and discuss all things art related! ✨ Links to All the Books Mentioned ✨ (Most are Amazon Affiliate) My Favorite Art Books 📚 1.
