Reviews

[Flippingpen · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book title sounds as if it would teach you how Pixar characters are designed but it is not the case.
It is more of a book where you try to draw the characters by looking at the illustrated pictures. It is unfortunately not the money worth instead, you can print pictures from Pixar characters and try to paint and draw them, since there are no instructions in the book it would be the same.
