Face Painting Books, Whats in your collection?

I would like to know what are the best books to have for instruction, inspiration and so on.. What are your top 3 books? Or are books even necessary?

Thanks

Extreme Face Panting by the Wolfes!

With all the inspiration on the web, books aren't as important as they used to be. That said, I did get the Wolfe brother's book from the library.

Weeellllll.... I have cases of books and mags, and I know we've covered it before...

That's just three of the threads. Type "book" into the search field and you'll get LOTS more.

Usborne book is good for beginners to get the basic faces... after that, I have Marcela Murad's Fairy Princesses and Eye Design books.

I only have the one wolfebros scary faces the rest is from the internet. When I first started I went to the library and got a few there. But I found youtube and snazaroo contest pages to be more helpful overall.

i think line work and layering techniques are helpful then once you get the idea you can break down a lot of faces on your own without step by step.

I Looove books - not just facepainting ones either. But I have;

Extreme facepainting, Faces of fantasy, scary faces by wolfe Brothers
eye designs,butterflys, masks 7 fairy princess by Marcela murad & friends
Both of the susanne Mykolajenko- face painted faries ones
3 minute cheek art - Roberta Mandella
My daughter is obsessed with fairys why I have so many fairy types

I am going to buy more this month (i really want them all!)
but having said that I also have books on drawing actually it is what my husband and I do together, books on anatomy, tattoo magazines,
I have tonnes of books, that I love. and watching him draw is inspiring- he is way better than me.

Shannons book is one of my next to gets and the Pashur ones but I have to wait until all three are available at the same time from the same place to save on postage.

Thank you to everyone!!
