The Art Of Moana



The Art of Moana has lots of great, from some well know artists. I really enjoy this book because it has lots of designs and expression sheets of most of the main characters. Out 0f the 160 pages there are a good 54 pages of hand drawn character designs from some of my favorite artists like Borja Montoro, Bill Schwab, Jin Kim, Bobby Pontillas, and many more.  The rest of the pages have mostly layouts and pre-production artwork for the environment and props as well as a few pages of storyboards.  Overall I am pretty happy with this book.

I give the books a fun 4.5 out of 5

The Art of Sanjay's Super Team is a fantastic art of book, especially when you consider it's the art book for a Pixar short that played before The Good Dinosaur. It's out of the ordinary to devote an art of book to a short, but I am so happy they did.  This book has many great pictures and a lot of character designs in its 130 pages. What's awesome too, is that it is only   $15.35 at Amazon right now.  Well worth the price in my opinion.  I give it 4.6 out of 5 Below is a fun video about the making of The Art of Sanjay's Super Team

Ben Balistreri's "Seaweed and the Cure for Mildew"

Its Comic Con season and I know that a lot of you are getting excited to go. So to help get people even more excited, I wanted to let everyone know about Ben Balistreri’s new book "Seaweed and the Cure for Mildew". Even with his busy schedule at DreamWorks as a story artist, he had time to answer a few questions about his awesome book… Ben when did you first think of the story for this book and how long did it take to create? I was on vacation in San Diego and was enjoying a drink or two at the Tangiers Bar, which had a very " Casablanca " feel to it. I had been thinking of creating my own comic for a while, and this bar really inspired me. (Or I guess it might have just been the beer...) In any case it set the wheels in motion and I set about writing the story. That was about 9 years ago. So what was the process you went through in creating your book? I originally wrote an epic, that if completed, would have spanned seven books. It was a total...

The Art Of Cars 3

The Art of Cars 3 is big on storyboards and light on character designs, which is to be expected due to most of the characters being fleshed out except a few new characters that appear in the show.  This book is great for those who are into storyboarding and seeing a behind look at how much work goes into it.  They even take time to discuss different camera angles and staging that should be usedin their storyboards. All in all I was a bit disappointed in this book because of the lack of artwork.  It felt like they were running out of  the type of artwork that I love to see. I give the books a fun 2.5 out of 5
