Lovely: Ladies of Animation Art Book Review

Title: Lovely: Ladies of Animation
Publisher: Design Studio Press
ISBN: 9781624650130
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Six current, prominent female artists, especially one of my favorite's, Brittney Lee, are the focused of this art book.  And what I found to be a great asset to art lovers is that each artists' style is different and you get to appreciate the uniqueness that each brings to the table.  For example, Brittney Lee focuses on creating art out of paper.  While Lisa Keene's focused on paintings and Victoria Ying on cubism.  And as an aspiring artist myself, the variety gets my creativity juices flowing and dares you to be inspired.

Now, for each artist, they have 20 pages dedicated to them.  Most of the images that are shown span 1 full page.  But because of that, there aren't as many drawings as I expected or wanted.  For each image, there is a quick blurb from the artist about its origins.  The blurbs were interesting to read.  Even though these artists are famous for their works for Disney, you won't see any here.  You get to see their lovely, lesser known works.

All I can say is that I'm in raptures over this art book.  Every single image is a feast for the eyes.  I really, really love this book.  I can't say enough good things.  The quality of the book is top notch.  The images are huge and sharp.  The pages are glossy and of good quality.  If you are a fan of the Golden Books, an artist, or just like good art in general, add this book to your collection.  You will have no regrets.
