- The perfect help for a professional and aspirant designer
I love this book , is very helpfool for people who needs to answer the normal questions about how to paint and create original characters.

- Great Inspiration
It's valuable to know how a professional approaches character development. I believe that initial hurdle of creation is an obstacle for many artists and this book helps get over that. Working without a model is very intimidating. If you are in this situation, this book will help a lot. There is a reason those animated characters are so appealing and funny. This author tries to tackle that difficult subject. This book is definitely worthy to own. The way you tell a good book is by the knowledge you walk away with and your desire to extend that knowledge in your own way.

- Creating Characters with Personality for film
This is a very light book on the subject of using cartoon techniques to inject personality into animated characters. The author's background in the Disney film animation studio made the book something less than I was looking for. I still found the Disney approach to character creation usefully laid out. That I was looking for the Pixar or Hayao Miyazaki's approach is irrelevant. This book is plenty of material for somebody doing light animation stories.

- Now I Know Why
I've read several how to draw books. So far the the most instruction I've ever gotten was "do this, then do that." The books never explained why. This book explains why. The reason why you start out with simple shapes was probably the biggest "Oh yeah! OK!" moment for me and there were several other momnets.

The book is very well narrated. I actually read through this like a story book, the first time. It is easy to follow and at the end of each chapter there are homework assignments to help you get going. The assignments are a little tough, so you are expected to know how to do a few things, but I haven't met a how to draw book that started with "This is how you draw a line."

I personally love Anime and Manga and that is the style of art I try to emulate. With this book it doesn't matter what style of art you are trying to master, you will get help from this book.
