Presented in the same format as his earlier published Rough Sketches art book, this volume focuses on Yoh Yoshinari‘s rough sketches of Tezuka Osamu’s characters, the creator of the much adored Astroboy character.

This is a collection of Yoh Yoshinari’s personal drawings and his test animation project titled “Animating Tezuka Characters”. The animation tests created from his drawings are found in the blu-ray that comes with this book, with a short run time of about 3 minutes.

(above) The blu-ray ray disc that comes with the book, with about 3 minutes of animation footage.

Fans of Osamu Tezuka and Yoh Yoshinari’s art work should find this one of interest. The sketches are great studies for character design and action poses as well.

I also highly recommend his earlier Rough Sketches art book, as well as his huge art works collection book.
