A beautifully produced full-colour art book showing how the characters and settings from the Simpsons Movie and TV series are drawn, painted and turned into the world's most popular and enduring comedy show. From lines and circles to richly hand drawn characters,The Simpsons Handbook is an homage to hand drawn animation and might just have you drawing like the pros in no time at all. Here is a rare homage to the art of classic 2-D animation and the time-honoured method of hand-drawing characters that come alive on the silver screen. The creator of "The Simpsons" and "Futurama" reveals the art of brilliant character design, backgrounds and prop art in this lavishly detailed handbook that unveils the complex secrets behind the deceptively simple and universally loved Simpsons characters.
