      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.

                        @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 ofโ€ฆ[movie title]" and there is usually one out there.

                          I loved the Lord of the Rings Sketchbook by illustrator Alan Lee.

                            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 ๐Ÿ™‚

                              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 โ€œart/artistโ€ 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.

                                      Mine is the art of Over the Garden Wall and Disney's "The Archive Series." I have the Design and Layouts & Backgrounds.

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

                                            I have 3 "art of" books - 2 Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive (Vol 2 & 3) and Overwatch.

                                            I really didn't play Overwatch that much but the whole design behind it was inspiring.

                                            The two FF ones I have are nice, but I wish they were more comprehensive. I think they don't actually have that much in the art dept. and more focus on game elements.
