Today was a great edition of Book Of The Week. Joanna gave this book a very good review and in my opinion it was one of the best reviews I have heard in a while. It was also nice to see people voting for the book and not for the personality who was presenting it. The book itself was great too and is excellent for anyone who would like to draw the Simpson's. It takes you from the very basics to the end result. This book is well illustrated and I would recommend anyone and everyone to look at this book because it has something for everyone.
A beautifully produced full-colour art book showing how the characters and settings from the Simpsons Movie and TV series are drawn, painted and turned into the world's most popular and enduring comedy show. From lines and circles to richly hand drawn characters,The Simpsons Handbook is an homage to hand drawn animation and might just have you drawing like the pros in no time at all. Here is a rare homage to the art of classic 2-D animation and the time-honoured method of hand-drawing characters that come alive on the silver screen. The creator of "The Simpsons" and "Futurama" reveals the art of brilliant character design, backgrounds and prop art in this lavishly detailed handbook that unveils the complex secrets behind the deceptively simple and universally loved Simpsons characters. With creative insights, artists' sketches, helpful insider hints and step-by-step instructions, enter the imagination of "master doodler" Matt Groening and receive some professional "how-to" advice from many of the animators and directors who have made "The Simpsons" the longest-running animated show and situation comedy in television history. In our technological era when animation has become increasingly digitalised,this unique handbook records the genesis of some of the most extraordinary examples of the art of hand-drawn character animation.
