    Marvelous character design book

     The author Haitao Su has been creating character design, cartoons and illustrations for nearly 20 years. It's a privilege to have a character design book written by him. Good character design books are rare, and this is a wonderful book.The book starts with the definition of character design, basic principles and procedures for character design, sources of inspiration, concept development, techniques and even talks about the handling of proposals. The latter half of the book looks at nine categories of characters:  Female  Male  Q-Style  Monster  Animal  Supportive Role  Bad Guys  Inanimate  MechanicalThe amount of character designs featured are immense, beautiful and incredibly varied. The pages are packed with unique and expressive characters which are a joy to look at. The physical form of the characters can be felt and that really adds on to the believability.Almost all examples are drawn by Haitao Su himself. They are all accompanied by insightful commentary and really gives you lots to think about when designing your own characters. Lots of individual characters that he drew for commissions are analysed. There's even a chapter on inanimate character designs which gives tips on how you can turn static household objects alive.The book ends with interviews with five top character designers, namely Dean Yeagle, Stephen Silver, Florian Satzinger, Francisco Herrera and Ben Caldwell. There's also an interview with Haitao Su himself.This is a inspiring art book on its own, made even better with useful information that's shared.Highly recommended to character designers and art book lovers. This should be one of top 2011 art books.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015*

I don't get it--i have seen some pretty chimpy reviews on this book but I love this book--it is thorough and thoughtful--he is not the best writer in the world, I will concede that but he's an artist that we need to sit up and pay attention to--this is a beautiful book and there are tips to pick up on if you actually read the book and quit staring at the pictures.  One of the complaints I heard was that of his depiction of women--horse hockey--he is presenting Archetypes that people use to convey characters--If you are hung up on PC, don't get the book--if you are into good art and being a good artist and actually learning something, pick up this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Beautiful book!
  

*by S***Q on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2012*

This book is very well written.  The very talented, seasoned author writes in a narrative style almost like a class of the same subject.  He explains the design process, history and media execution like no other book I have read or used as a guide.  I would recommend this book.
