Description

"From basic lines and circles to vivid character illustrations, The Simpsons Handbook is a tribute to the time-honored tradition of hand-drawn animation. This lavishly detailed artist's manual unveils the complex secrets behind the deceptively simple and universally loved "Simpsons" characters. With creative insights, artist' sketches, helpful insider hints, and step-by-step instructions, enter the imagination of master doodler Matt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons," and receive some professional "how-to" advice from many of the animators and directors who have made the show the comedic standard, as well as the longest running animated show and situation comedy in television history."
