One of My Favorite Books Bar None

Love the Simpsons? Love to draw? Take these two interests and you've got heavenly bliss. If you like only the Simpsons and only drawing, you'd still love this book.

As a how-to-draw book, this books is amazing. The authors provide their thought processes when they draw. For example, Homer's body is like a big light bulb and his feet are in the shape of an iron. These insights are a huge benefit. Even the sections about props and sets are amazing. The book features transparent pages, which aids how layers are used in the drawing process.

I own Jack Hamm, how-to-draw manga and Byrne Hogarth books. And this books is a vital component to any book collection. The reason is that the Simpson characters are based on simple shapes: sausages, cylinders, balls, etc. Once you are able to draw Simpson characters, you can draw other objects with a better grasp of how basic shapes make up a lot of real world objects.

If you are a Simpsons fan and not a drawer, this book is still amazing. You will appreciate the myriad of dynamic poses included in the book. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be motivated to trying drawing--and this book is a good one to start with.

Drawing school

The book cover and paper is of good quality - looks and feels fine.
The content is mainly step by step drawing guides for every (?) person in the Simpsons universe and lots of examples of different moods and situations. Also includes "backgrounds" from many houses and places in Springfield.

This is one of the best put together drawing books from a television series I have ever seen. I am an artist and I love the Simpsons. What more could I ask for?!

Great for Simpsons fans/amateur cartoonists

I got this as a gift. It has great coverage of a whole lot of the popular characters. Also has step by step drawings for many of the favorites. If you know someone who is into drawing, and enjoys the Simpsons, it is highly recommended.

Good buy

My husband and I grew up watching the Simpsons, so when this book came out my husband was very interested in it. I got it for Christmas for him. He was very happy to see how many characters they show you how to draw, and how detailed the pictures are.
This is very good buy for a Simpsons fan, or someone interested in learning to draw.
