For xmas, I got him the art book from Massive Black. I really want to get him like the art of SC2 book or something, but I don't think that exists... Sadly. But my question is, what kind of art books do you guys use for reference? Is there a specific artist/publisher I should look for? Any help would be appreciated! :D Thanks! He's a digital painter / vector flash artist, btw. He works on games. He used to work in oil paints, but now he doesn't have time to paint anymore.   | ||

Anatomy books and sculpture books are one of my favorite things to use as reference but there are a ton of great books by amazing artists out there. Tell us what he does and what kind of level his art is at we might be able to help !!  | ||
