Una película que nos da un importante mensaje sobre la humildad; me gustó mucho ver su arte.

Otro libro fantástico de esta colección.

Este trata de la película Cars. Incluye muchísimos bocetos de los coches, de Radiador Springs y mucho más en los que trabajaron durante la creación de la película.

Me ha parecido muy interesante, sobre todo la investigación que llevaron a cabo en la ruta 66 y todos los viajes de carretera que hicieron.

Aquí cuenta bastante desde el inicio de la idea de Cars y lo que se les fue ocurriendo.

La cantidad de bocetos me ha encantado y también lo bien estudiados que están. Vienen hasta bocetos detallados explicando cómo funciona Bessie.

En general me ha gustado un montón.

Everyone knows that the folks at Pixar are geniuses when it comes to storytelling. Everyone also knows how amazing the art is. This book goes behind the scenes in reproducing sketches from the drawing board, random gag ideas which weren't used, and reference photos and stories about the research process. It was amazing to study.

I’m a big fan of the movie and this art book doesn’t disappoint at all. It really goes deep into the creative process of the movie and all the research they had to do. The book also has a lot of amazing backgrounds made with pastels and amazing sketches of all the characters.
Without a doubt it has become one of my favorites due to the amount of concepts it has and all the details and curiosities they tell you about how how Cars was made.
Well and also I’m a HUGE fan of pastels, and they use them amazingly in this book.

With that, the book brings you onto a fantastic journey on the creative process of creating Cars, the movie close to John Lasseter's heart.

The few pages of stories separating the art let you understand how research was done, what the artists learn and ideas they want to bring across to the audience.

This book is filled with plenty of concept art drawings. Pixar artists draw hundreds of drawings each day but only selected ones were included into the book due to the limited number of pages. Every page is packed with art.

Also included are storyboards, architectural drawings, landscape drawings, lighting studies, car decor sketches, photos from their road trips.

This is a wonderful selection of drawings pulled off directly from the drawing board.

This review was first published on parkablogs.com. There are more pictures and videos on my blog.

Another fantastic Pixar book!

I'd like to give it 5 stars for Bill Cone's work, but I'm biased and as far as art books go it is a bit superficial and 'pr-talky'. Those pastels though..
