Designing with Pixar: 45 Activities to Create Your Own Characters, Worlds, and Stories other than it having one of the longest titles of a book I have reviewed, it is a perfect book for any child wanting to become a character designer.  It leads the artist by the hand with fun activities using color, shapes, characters,worlds, and your own stories. It gives examples of the how Pixar uses these subjects to create unforgettable characters.  It has many pictures to inspire artist before it asks youexplore their own imagination in creating characters based on the subject matter that is being discussed in each chapter. I give the books a fun 4.3 out of 5

  Sketchtravel is an awesome book I have to say.  So many of my favorite artists have created some amazing pieces of work for this one time book.  Each artist was free to do whatever they liked, which made each page a fun surprise and very unique subjects and very different art styles.  Here are just a few of the71 artist that contributed to this really neat book. Pierre Alary , Andrea Blasich , Lorelay Bove , Scott Campbell , eter De Seve , Ronnie Del Carmen , Paul Felix , Carter Goodrich , Juanjo Guarnido , Glen Keane , Nicolas Marlet , Bill Presing , and even Hayao Miyazaki . For more information about the book check out the website here - http://www.sketchtravel.com/ I give it an amazing 4.7 out of 5

The Art of Planes

The Art of Planes   has a ton of great pictures, from concept to final designs.  I was not a big fan of the movie, but this book is well worth the price especially if you like planes and even some automobiles as well.  Although most of the book has lots of background paintings and fully rendered digital paintings of scenes from the film, it really is worth the price.  I give it a good 4 out of 5
