The Art of Finding Dory

Image
With The Art of Finding Dory I should have realized that most of that underwater world was fleshed out and created from the first film Finding Nemo.  So when it comes to character designs, there is about 20 pages out of 176.  With in those pages they show the designs of the new characters and don't double dip from the previous art book The Art of  Finding Nemo which is a good thing.  The main focus however is on set design and storyboards.  So it's a great book if you love that kind of stuff.  I am surprised at the decisions these latest Art of books have made to have such a big focus on set design and background layout.  Gone are the days where half or most of the book has butt loads of character designs and pre-final designs.

The Art of Kung Fu Panda 3

Image
The Art of Kung Fu Panda 3 is the third book of the film series. It has 168 pages and shows exclusive behind-the-scenes pre-production artwork from the movie, with concept art, character designs, interviews the artists. I really have enjoined looking through this book, it has tons of artwork from Nico Marlet the main Character Designer on all the Kung Fu Panda films.  Like I said before Tracey, did a great job finding some wonderful artwork to show in this book. The artwork is crisp and sharp with lots of detail. I was able to receive the green light to show some of the artwork from the book down below. I hope you enjoy.   I give it 4.7 out of 5                                 Photo provided by Insight Editions from The Art of Kung Fu Panda 3. © 2016 DreamWorks Animation LLC. All rights reserved.

The Art of Kubo and the Two Strings

Image
The Art of Kubo and the Two Strings is a wonderful art book if you like set design, layout , and background artwork.  As for character designs there is too few and far between.  The book contains 160 pages, and about 1/10 of those pages has drawings of the characters and most of them are of the final designs of each character . R ather than show lots of drawings of them creating and experimenting with the designs which most artists love to see.  The book has lots of artwork, but I was really sad to see such little attention to the characters and an overload of attention to set design, layout, props, and background paintings.  I give it 2.5 out of 5
