This is a great post I mirrored from Conceptart.org for you guys to take a look at. It's a bunch of (legally free) art e-books that cover a wide spectrum of subjects. Have a look and read a few, alot of them are fantastic, some of them, not so much.
Note: Towards the bottom the books begin to get categorized into sub-genre's (Architecture, Composition etc.)
So, instead of posting "Help me get better" why not take a few hours to study some of the material here, and better yourself. (:
