Visually and graphically this book is stunning. Having met Dan Luvisi, the creator, and seen his artwork I can honestly say I am continuously blown away by the amount of realism he implies in his work, but the real treasure of this book is the text. The storytelling, told through notes by the main character, Gabriel, keeps an attitude and toughness that is so consistent its as if Gabriel wrote this book and not Dan Luvisi.
REDLINE, the animated film directed by Takeshi Koike and produced by MADHOUSE, is a racing of insane proportions. With a purely hand drawn animation style this book is a must have for any aspiring comic artist and animator. As an animator myself, this book shows the pencils of many of the key animation frames and story boards and brings an insight to the execution of the film which I really enjoy.
Disney was the biggest influence on myself as an animator and I was always yearning for a more classical look into Disney's production art, like the Art of Hercules, but there was never something I enjoyed. The Art of Tangled succeeded and instantly smacked me with nostalgia as I saw the classic looking backgrounds,character sheets and paintings. The instantly recognizable style of Disney is something I truly hold close when designing characters and this book is always by my side when I work.
