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.

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.
