I notice when doing animals most of the studies are from the side, or they are perpendicular to us. Meaning the animal is not being put in a orientation where its coming at us through the Depth Axis. So when looking at a refrence where it's angled more towards us do you just make the Form masses you draw closer to eachother almost overlapping, because Forshortening exist.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
