On personal side notes, I found several favorites in Itaru Saito, Ivan Oviedo, Jon Diesta, Rachel Saunders, Rad Secrist, Matthew Boisemeier, and many others. They each simply show how you can push the proportions, simplify linework, and display tints and tones to enhance the overall look of their ideal male and female characters. Not that you should copycat these 130+ artists. If you have ever needed a source book on how to stylize the human form derived from anatomy this is a go-to book. I suppose one can always look up their favored artists if they'd like to learn more about them and their artistic process. Sort of an animator's dream coffee-table book. But alas, it's almost entirely a book of properly credited imagery. I would have loved for there to be a bit of commentary from the individual artists-even if it were minor notations or snippets of their thoughts. (I'll openly admit to some bias there in my personal judgement of bustlines.) I know this is a wide range of animation techniques we're looking at, but in my mind, braless boobs are -always- subject to the laws of physics. Some of the depictions of breasts were annoying to this reader. (Although most needn't fear, the poses are exclusively that of artistic nudity with no intention of sexual context.) Some examples are anatomically correct, and some are not-fair warning to those considering this as a gift for under-aged artists. This artwork collection was a terrific idea-allowing immediate contrast to animated styles from renowned artists across numerous mediums.
