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!
Just type in "Art of…[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
-
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!
-
@EliaMurrayArt I am going to have to look into getting that, I love Brave!

I don't know why but that miniseries just threw me for a loop. So friggin' dark.
-
@Braden-Hallett Ahh thats what I love about it! It's innocent and lighthearted but so dark at the same time!
-
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.

It has been years since I last opened my copy. I should have a look over the weekend.
The only art-of book I have is The Art of Peanuts. If they count, I also have the Chuck Jones autobiographies, The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss, and Exploring Calvin and Hobbes.
