Book Review: Claire Wendling - Drawers 2.0

[ghost1515]

Quote:This is a revised and expanded edition of Drawers originally published in January 2001. With over 400 new images, this is an essential volume whether or not you have the original edition. This is the only career overview of this phenomenal artist covering her work in comic books, animation, film, and commercial illustration. Also well represented are her personal drawings not meant for publication. Most of the personal drawings that appeared in the original edition have been replaced with new versions by Claire (à la Iguana Bay 2.0). Very little, if any, overlap with Desk or Iguana Bay.

You can clearly see her range of talent in this book. It's one of my favorite art books ever. I enjoy her animal gestures so much. Not only are there animal and figure drawings, she also does environmental paintings. And she has a wonderful sense of design as you can tell from her illustration pieces. Her style changes to suit the format. Her animation drawings are clean and elegant while her comic sketches are rough. I also love the way she uses color. Very simple.

It's a hardcover with around 150 pages.

HIGHLY recommended to fans of comic art, animation and figure drawings.
