The Skillful Huntsman is one of my favs. Some really inspiring sketches and concept work in there. As far as reading material, I’ll always have a warm place in my heart for Neruomancer, Ender’s Game, and Stranger in a Strange Land.

Hey thanks for translating it for me, in the meantime I bought another one by the same person, Andras Szunyoghy that is. I don’t know the english title, so I’ll just plainly translate the croatian: Anatomy: School od drawing - Man - animal - comaparison. It’s such a treat. highly recommended 
I’m just finished with “Mugabe” by David Smith & Colin Simpson (1981).
thanks guys for ur participation
His books are huge. 600 Pages of anatomy for 30 bucks isn’t bad. 
I have the Swedish verion of it since a couple of years back, recommended 
hi guys first thanks guys for those great books
