Basics of landscape drawing (Natsumesha Art Master)

[Content explanation] The animated film version of Akira, which was released in theaters in 1988, went beyond the realm of manga and revolutionized the world of anime. Although this anime was made under an unusual production system in which the original author, Katsuhiro Otomo himself served as the director and scriptwriter, it is an exceptional masterpiece that has received worldwide acclaim. This book is the first volume of a two-volume collection of the huge amount of storyboards that Otomo himself drew up in order to produce the anime version. It was once published by the Young Magazine Editorial Department in 1988 in two volumes, but it went out of print in a short period of time.Since then, rare items that have long been premium items are now available in the first period of the ``Katsuhiro Otomo Complete Works.'' This is the long-awaited reprint of the first distributed title. This is the first time in over 30 years that this has been done as a standalone product. When you think of a storyboard, you tend to think of it as a rough, unfinished blueprint, but the precision of the storyboards in this book is on a whole other level. That's no wonder, the author drew this around 1987, when the manga version was suspended in order to make the movie version of "AKIRA", and in terms of the book, it was about the middle of Volume 5. . The detail of the storyboards and the dynamism of the characters, drawn with the excitement of the serialization period, are on a par with the original manga. This book completely includes the first half A and B of the four parts A, B, C, and D, making it a large volume of nearly 500 pages. This book is like a ``reading video'' where you can replay images of the anime version of ``AKIRA'' in your mind just by looking at it, so the more you read it carefully, the more you will be able to experience the author's amazing animation production techniques. The book title ``Storyboards'' is the English term for ``storyboard.'' [What is OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS?] Katsuhiro Otomo has created world-famous titles one after another and has the face of a creator who is not limited by genre, such as manga artist, illustrator, video director, and scenario writer. In ``OTOMO THE COMPLETE WORKS'', the author Katsuhiro Otomo himself looks down on, summarizes, and re-produces all of these diverse ``works'' in chronological order. This collection of expression methods that have shocked the world from Japan is not only a collection of one artist's personal work, but also an enjoyable adventure in modern culture, including manga, anime, and films from the 1970s to the present day. It can be said to be a collection of works that closes the book. What has been created over time? What have writers seen and thought about over time? And what will the artist try next? --By covering everything from his works to his statements, he reveals his evolution as a writer and conveys his attitude to the next generation of creators. This complete collection is a completely new collection in which the artist himself "turns it into a work" and records it as an object that includes the feel of the work. (From the editorial office)
