Another wonderful Studio Ghibli art book,
By
This review is from: The Art of My Neighbor Totoro: A Film by Hayao Miyazaki (Hardcover)
Fans of Miyazaki's movies won't be disappointed by this book. It has lots of concept art, sketches, water colour storyboards, character design and beautiful paintings of the countryside. Some of the art are captioned by Miyazaki to give you insight into the scenes. At the end of the book is a summary of the film's production process. There are interviews with key production staff, including the music director Joe Hisaishi. This book is easily a classic, just like the anime movie itself. (More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

Outstanding art,
This review is from: The Art of My Neighbor Totoro: A Film by Hayao Miyazaki (Hardcover)
This book has so many sketches, illustrations and conceptual drawings that one gets a better idea of how such a masterpiece came into being. A section on animation techniques shows many special effects used in the film. The overall impression is magical and very inspiring. This book will motivate any developing artist to search for better ways of expressing his/her ideas.
