The Big Art PDF Backpack

Hi! I dont want to make this too long since Im pretty sure youre itching to
look at all these really helpful art PDFs, so lets get started.
I made this backpack to help beginning and proficient Artists who need helpful
(and useful!) advice, technique, practice, guide, and to learn many different forms
of art that would hopefully inspire and help them feel better for themselves as an
Artist! Ive also put this together for low-income students because Ive always
had trouble getting resources since I didnt always have money (especially as a
teen), so this goes out to those struggling to find decent art books thatll help
them grow!
I do encourage if you so happen to really find one of the PDFs useful, and can
afford to purchase it, then please do!

The Following PDFs are separated by 6 individual folders categorized by what I

thought belonged there!
This includes Animation, Body & Figure, Digital, General Stuff, Misc, and
Traditional.

( I put an * next to the ones I personally recommend! But that doesnt mean the
others arent just as good. Please choose where you want to begin! )
