REVIEW: Lovely: Ladies of Animation: The Art of Lorelay Bové, Mingjue Helen Chen, Claire Keane, Lisa Keene, Brittney Lee, Victoria Ying (nonfiction book)

Lovely: Ladies of Animation: The Art of Lorelay Bové, Mingjue Helen Chen, Claire Keane, Lisa Keene, Brittney Lee, Victoria Ying is nonfiction. I bought my copy used.

Review:

I've been indulging my love of art books lately. The artwork in this was beautiful, although I wish medium information had been included for all the pieces (edit: never mind, I just realized all this info is included in the very back of the book). For this reason, Victoria Ying's section was one of my favorites, because, in her text, she talked a lot about the individual images and the constraints under which she made them. She also gave a general idea of her techniques and the materials she used.

There's no particular theme that ties all the artwork together, beyond the fact that all of the artists have worked with Disney. Most of the artists have at least a few pieces focused on women, for example, but then there's Lisa Keene's section, which is entirely dogs and cats.
