What are some books worth having?

Personal opinion, but I don't think buying isntructional or reference books is worth it anymore
Video tutorials are usually more useful because you can see the person doing the work. For reference you can use google

I buy artbooks of my favorite artists

Starting strength by Mark Rippletits, start lifting and get some muscle gains to observe yourself and learn how body kinetics work

Or, start going to gym, befriend egotystical aesthetic gym rats, start dropping hints you want to make art gains. When you have fully gained their trust draw them all day everyday
Trust me it's what michalangelo did.

But anon, I'm a /fit/izen and I use myself as a model. Sadly a photo isn't the same as a model in front of you.

Have you? Just gain their respect by squatting and deadlifting more than them. Alternatively fuck them too

I combat that with my own personal opinion: having seen video art tutorials, they don't teach much more than what's in books already. All the useful bits that can be explained by a live drawing artist (such as thought processes behind construction shapes) can be put in a book. There's not much more a video tutorial will give you; recordings of the way they hold a pencil or draw a line isn't going to teach you anything that's not in a book.
