1. Dofus 2.0
The cover of this artbook grabbed me right away. The plain white with hints of brown and the neon yellow/green smack-dab in the middle of the cover really pipped my curiosity. The book also has multiple character designs in color, ink, and pencil - there's so much variety! I also like the minimal white pages the book has - it just seems to add a little professionalism to the entire book- like the creators actual took the design into extreme consideration.
2. Fables Covers: The Art of James Jean
How can I not add this to my favorites?! It was thanks to this review that I first discovered James Jean. Again, the book has the pencil, ink, color combo that I simply love. To see the artist progression is almost like learning from them! Not to mention the creators also took time to make a decent cover that has texture to it - another plus in my book.
3. The Art of Tangled
My most recent fav. I actually saw this review and then decided to go watch the movie. It only made me appreciate the visuals of the movie even more. The amount of detail in the design and execution of the animations just wowed me. The inclusion of storyboards and background images was great and helped me enjoy the movie on new levels. And, the book is in landscape format! Can I get an awesome? Awesome.
