Kazuo Oga Artworks II (Studio Ghibli)

Review(0)

Categories:Creators' Artworks

A must-have for Studio Ghibli movie fans!

The long-awaited second art book by Kazuo Oga, the animation art director who supported Studio Ghibli works!

This book contains art supervising
Focusing on "Princess Mononoke'' and "Heisei Tanuki Battle Pon Poko''
Background paintings and art boards for "Whisper of the Heart'' and "Spirited Away''
"Howl's Moving Castle'' etc. ,
Contains many art settings, etc.
Based on a conversation with Naoya Tanaka, who also served as art director at Studio Ghibli, and the making of this book's cover illustration, we will discuss how the animation background art was drawn. This is an art book that explains Tanaka in detail, and is a unique technique book that approaches "technique" and "expression."
This is a valuable book that I would like to pass on to the next generation.
