Reviews

[Nick James · Rating 3 out of 5]

A basic book by Simpsons creator Matt Groening on how to draw the Simpsons. It's a very short paperback that isn't that great, anyway. Case closed.

[Aaron Badgley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny, brilliant, thorough, overall a perfect read for Simpsons' fans.
Loved it.

Helped me to belive that I too could draw like professionals. Maybe I should read it again...
