 Welcome back to another product review and today I'm going to take a look at the art of Maya and the three Very excited to look at this actually haven't looked at is yet This just arrived is a bit delayed because it has a signature in it as well So it's kind of lost in all the the shipping delays and all that stuff, but I am very pumped It's a fantastic show if you haven't seen it. I highly recommend it on Netflix. It's such a great show It's fantastic now before I continue. Hi, my name is JD and I do product reviews like these and I do a bunch of stuff on the Channels a quick little pitch I do animation lectures and there's a bunch of stuff check it out If you like it subscribe if you don't maybe I'll come into you later But that's what I'm doing for the channel for a quick little pitch, but let's get to the books of Maya and the three Here's the back beautiful art already. It's your spine That is the book and it's glory There you go. I am so pumped because I love the art style and I can't wait to see more of this There you go. This is Signed this is why it took a bit longer and look at this already The designs the colors cinematography just everything the renders were great Forward here we got cast old photos the creator Introduction Sorry, I should go through this faster, but I haven't looked at this yet and I am I'm already uh Oh, I want to read through all of this character. So this is what I was excited about So you get to see the evolution turn tables. I love stuff like this. So this is already my jam princess Maya Look at that. I love this here that shield there such great design Love this already and I'll always love this here seeing like early sketches not the final polished stuff or even this I love when you see the very first explorations That's what I'm looking for in art of books, but I do love this Absolutely, this goes back into what I was saying before if you as a as an animation student Look at these and then scan this keep this This is your reference library for mouth shapes and eyes and eyebrows and hairs is everything Look at that. Keep that for inspiration. It's great. Also fun character Rico here Same thing here. Look at that massive massive mouth opening And facial expressions great Also great. I mean this basically this book is going to be It's going to be me saying great all the time. I do love this though. I'm going from this The monkey mask not wearing here, but it's great These are cool. Super cool. That's what I love. I love stuff like that such good reference Even this here. I just look again the renders and the look Cracks me up to here. Love this. I love that they're including this everywhere Facial expressions. That's great too. That's great for posing reference. Come on. We got the dad here Okay, I gotta go through this a bit faster. I am too Fascinated by this already. This is a flip through not a Live reading, but come on Love this. That's basically yes that whole page double pages. Yes Love this character too Nice. I love this But come on Great posing great face Also cool. Look at that creature. Yeah That is cool Okay, this is not me stalling. I can't get that page But I am looking at every single thing here These were so great. She was great too. I really couldn't recommend the show more Lots of action lots of heart great pacing Look at this Definitely busy in its design, but to me it was never overwhelming or in a way distracting where you didn't know where to look Oh, she was so great. Look at this. Come on Yes, man. I love this already. This goes into my Facial reference library right away. These will be separate scans Let me go through this a bit faster. There's so much. Come on. We're just at the beginning. Oh Yes Wait, is that an arm coming out of the mouth? Come on Great Let's flip through a bit faster because there's so much to look at. I love this Because that's the cool thing about the show. There's so many characters So an art book that definitely focuses on the characters facial expressions. Yes poses All right, we're getting into chapter two environments, which are just as impressive as the characters Love seeing stuff like this here too That especially like a simple thing. Anyway, this will be I need to do like a separate F&A or something about set design composition and just balance of adding Environments and then your character and how environments can I love this how environments can can inspire you in terms of your animation and what to do. Look at that Love it That's cool Can you imagine how much fun it must have been designing and creating all this? I love that second-aid characters It's almost like bosses in a in a game level That's cool. Love seeing this here So much. Ooh little islands That's cool. I love anything. Should use little things like that in your artworks. Just little details I still would have loved to see like, you know, I know this probably no one cares about the very first scribble sketches of Little plants and stuff like that. I just love seeing the very rough form to the final form And come on who approved this design? It cracks me up and it works so well in the show I thought that was a skateboard at first. A longboard It's great Love this Every single character. These are super cute too That's so great It's like every character that's been designed. It's basically following the Go bigger go home. Like how can we plus this? How can we make this even more awesome? That was great too. Yeah Look at that. Just that. I mean imagine you'd have this in CG like, oh, what do you could do to animate climbing up or running around? Or I mean, you can see at the scale. I would probably Scale the characters up a little bit, but so cool. Oh, love these. Look at that posters on the world awesome Look at this here. Awesome Hold on. I gotta go back here This guy's here So great. I mean these are great. I would love a poster with just that those kind of drawings Super cool. Sorry. I know this is not a way to flip through but I had to look at how this guy hangs out there. This is so great So cool Love this Storyboards awesome Inclusion of that. I mean if you do check out the creators I was I would feel hesitant in the in the pronouncing bitters You know foreign names. I don't want to butcher them, but if you follow him on twitter Posted so much stuff That will add to this book Designs and explorations and his ideas and thoughts and references Highly highly recommend you don't just go with this book, but follow the creator So great. I got a ton of them. I love this Please chapter. That's so great Spoilers Continues on with awesomeness. That's cool. Love this Color scripts are great It's rarely, I don't know. I'd say rarely focused on but there's so much that goes into production That doesn't get like the full exposure and making ofs So cool. Look at these are awesome And then you get the afterward And that is also awesome at the end. Everything is awesome Different franchise, but come on There we go. Maya and the three the art off Okay, definitely have to go back and read through this and go really page by page Like some of those artworks are great Look at that's cool Put them back and then every now and then take them out again This again for any animation soon. Look at these Whatever you can find online if you can't afford this But and or any other art of books really make sure that you do keep a reference library I mentioned this because I mentioned that yesterday in the q&a from the class But it's so important to look at that not just go Oh, that's cool and then put it away or really take scans Look at them put that into a library of only facial expressions or eye expressions or environments or like ideas for your shots This is why love art of books that gave me so much inspiration for shots and this ideas that you can You know plug from different books and different franchises different movies or whatever into a different idea That's then yours definitely influence But still yours and and that to me is so important when you start as a student to have creative ideas But you still have to have a certain influence and see what's out there So you don't copy things by accident But I think that is such a great resource in terms of coming up with ideas and kind of pushing your animation So definitely always study from life film yourself a reference, but it's still important to look at what's out there What are the creatives are doing so inspiring? I love it. Anyway enough gushing. I love the show watch the show It's so great. That is that for me not a quick flip through. There will be more. I got a bunch of books in the back There's so much more coming. I can't wait. There's another one actually hold on this one Very excited to go this one. This might be next The designs are so great.
