​@@artofjesskarp I have interest in all of them, but the ones that I know would be the most beneficial are; Color Harmony, Seeing Ourselves, Daily Painting, Keys to Drawing from Imagination, Figure Drawing, Creative Illustration, and Picture This. You gave us some exciting suggestions. I enjoy choosing one of my books with images by artists I admire and drawing from their paintings in my sketchbook. I've learned a lot about how they handle composition and color and their subjects. I am an abstract artist but I love drawing figures, landscapes, and plants in my sketchbook.

I LIKE YOUR BOOK ON 101 GREAT ILLISTRATORS, MARIA

Very nice list of books; I have a couple of them but will be looking into the others. Art history was one of my favorite classes when I quit my job and ran away to study art for a year - it was great “artistic ammunition” to see how see the flow of history as reflected in art. I lost my art history book so I’m quite interested in checking out The Story of Art. Along those lines and in conjunction with the 101 Great Illustrators you mentioned, I would recommend Pete Beard’s KZread channel which covers centuries of illustration - a treasure trove of history, styles, techniques, and inspiration. Thank you very much for the list!

a lot of these are very focused on the technical side of drawing. for instance the colour palette book seems very much a designer concept. a great book i'd suggest is The Artists Way by Julia Cameron, especially if you're struggling to get started...
