From the publisher:

This book, like a sketchbook, brings together the sketches, the pencil drawings, and the side steps of Peter de Sève, one of the most spectacular contemporary illustrators. Mulan, Finding Nemo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, A Bug's Life… Peter has worked on the greatest animated films; he is, for example, the creator of Scrat, the squirrel from Ice Age. His illustrations regularly make the cover of the New Yorker. His line, all in movement, letting go, is insolently precise. And the characters gathered in this book, at random on the pages, "reveal, in a single gesture, the hesitation of the artist's hand and the incredible precision of the composition, silhouette and movement", in the words of Guillermo Del Toro who wrote the preface.

A gem for animation fans and illustration enthusiasts.

Resume:

Cet ouvrage, comme un carnet de croquis, rassemble les esquisses, les crayonnés, les pas de côté de Peter de Sève, un des illustrateurs contemporains les plus spectaculaires. Mulan, Le Monde de Nemo, Le Bossu de Notre-Dame, Mille et Une pattes…Peter a travaillé sur les plus grands films d'animation ; il est, par exemple, le créateur graphique de Scrat, l'écureuil de L' ge de Glace. Ses illustrations font régulièrement la Une du New Yorker. Son trait, tout en mouvement, en lâcher prise, est d'une insolente précision. Et les personnages rassemblés dans ce livre, au hasard des pages, « révèlent, dans un même geste, l'hésitation de la main d'artiste et l'incroyable précision de la composition, de la silhouette et du mouvement », selon les mots de Guillermo Del Toro qui signe la préface.

Une pépite pour les fans d'animation et les amateurs d'illustrations.
