The Simpsons Handbook: Secret Tips from the Pros (Simpsons (Harper)) Reviews
And maybe, just maybe, you'll be motivated to trying drawingand this book is a good one to start with. Take these two interests and you've got heavenly bliss. I own Jack Hamm, how-to-draw manga and Byrne Hogarth books. These insights are a huge benefit.
Even the sections about props and sets are amazing. The reason is that the Simpson characters are based on simple shapes: sausages, cylinders, balls, etc. The authors provide their thought processes when they draw. Love to draw. And this books is a vital component to any book collection.
If you like only the Simpsons and only drawing, you'd still love this book. You will appreciate the myriad of dynamic poses included in the book. As a how-to-draw book, this books is amazing. Once you are able to draw Simpson characters, you can draw other objects with a better grasp of how basic shapes make up a lot of real world objects. Love the Simpsons. If you are a Simpsons fan and not a drawer, this book is still amazing.
For example, Homer's body is like a big light bulb and his feet are in the shape of an iron. The book features transparent pages, which aids how layers are used in the drawing process.
The content is mainly step by step drawing guides for every (). person in the Simpsons universe and lots of examples of different moods and situations. The book cover and paper is of good quality - looks and feels fine. Also includes "backgrounds" from many houses and places in Springfield.
This is one of the best put together drawing books from a television series I have ever seen. What more could I ask for. I am an artist and I love the Simpsons.
If you know someone who is into drawing, and enjoys the Simpsons, it is highly recommended. It has great coverage of a whole lot of the popular characters. Also has step by step drawings for many of the favorites. I got this as a gift.
I got it for Christmas for him. This is very good buy for a Simpsons fan, or someone interested in learning to draw. My husband and I grew up watching the Simpsons, so when this book came out my husband was very interested in it. He was very happy to see how many characters they show you how to draw, and how detailed the pictures are.
