      I don't quite have enough to have a favorite. I have Moana and Howl's Moving Castle. If I could get one right now it would probably be the Hotel Transylvania one. I love how wacky the designs of the characters are and I love spooky settings.

        The 'art of' books of Final Fantasy were always my favourites!

          I have the Art of Brave and I adore it. I also have a couple David Colman character design books which are just delightful.

                      Oh this made me want to look for an "art of Zelda: Breathe of the Wild" that game has been such an escape for me.

                        Art of Blue Sky (comes with concept art from Ice Age to Epic)
                        and Art of Kubo are my two favourites. 🙂

                          @Heather-Boyd You can find them on Amazon, and most major bookstores. And they are a very handy reference resource!

                          Example:
                          https://www.amazon.ca/Art-Kubo-Two-Strings/dp/1452153159/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Art+of+Kubo&qid=1586292962&sr=8-1

                          Just type in "Art of…[movie title]" and there is usually one out there.

                              I just bought the Art of Brave (loved the movie) and the Art of Up (because the interior of the book looked up my alley -shape use). But amazon will send it in month or bit. Thanks 🙂

                                The Art of Maurice Sendak. Got it on thriftbooks.com for $6, no joke. Big, fat hardcover and wonderful history of his work.

                                  @Heather-Boyd I always look for them when I'm at used book stores, it's fun to find old ones as well as the new ones. Otherwise Amazon!

                                      I have about 30 “art/artist” books. Some I bought and some were gifts. My most favorite are;
                                      Art of Holly Hobbie
                                      Art of Ratatouille
                                      These were a Christmas gifts off of Amazon.
                                      Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life was a gift when I was in high school.
                                      Maxfield Parrish
                                      and Norman Rockwell of which i have 3 Lol.
                                      Most of my art books i either bought at big book stores or from second hand places like the friends of the auburn library.

                                          I don't know why but that miniseries just threw me for a loop. So friggin' dark.
