Expressive Anatomy for Comics and Narrative: Principles and Practices from the Legendary Cartoonist (Will Eisner Instructional Books)

Designed and outlined by Will Eisner before his death in 2005, this posthumous masterwork, the third and final book in the Will Eisner Instructional Series, finally reveals the secrets of Eisner’s own techniques and theories of movement, body mechanics, facial expressions, and posture: the key components of graphic storytelling. From his earliest comics, including the celebrated Spirit, to his pioneering graphic novels, Eisner understood that the proper use of anatomy is crucial to effective storytelling. His control over the mechanical and intuitive skills necessary for its application set him apart among comics artists, and his principles of body grammar have proven invaluable to legions of students in overcoming what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of creating comics. Buttressed by dozens of illustrations, which display Eisner’s mastery of expression, both subtle and overt, Expressive Anatomy for Comics and Narrative will benefit comics fans, students, and teachers and is destined to become the essential primer on the craft.

The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques, 2nd Edition

From Library Journal:
In this revised and updated volume, Harrison gives instructions for using water-based mediaAthis time adding watercolor techniques to the encyclopedic mix (alongside those for acrylics and gouache). In some 35 lessons, she covers the laying down of washes, working wet-in-wet, spattering, scumbling, and creating texture with salt. An able teacher and artist, trained at London’s Guildford School of Art and the Royal Academy School of Painting, Harrison has produced a fine volume. However, it can’t quite match the breadth and excitement of Zoltan Szabo’s 70 Favorite Watercolor Techniques (LJ 5/15/98).
