Das Buch habe ich als Geschenk gekauft und es war ein Volltreffer. Ich bin selber Fan und die Informationen im Buch wurden durch fabelhaftes Artwork aufgelockert. Dieses Buchkonzept ist hervorragend. Ich habe auch noch ein anderes davon verschenkt, was sich im Aufbau leicht unterschieden hat. Ich verrate nur: es sind nicht 100% die gleichen Kapitel enthalten ;)

This gorgeous full color, coffee-table book sized art book dives into the details and the artistic process of Kiki's Delivery Service. This is one of my favorite films and having some of the stunning backgrounds and visuals, along with character development and sketches, is just a beautiful way to re-connect with the film. I highly recommend this or a similar one for your favorite Ghibli movie to really dive into the art that makes these films so special.
My copy arrived in new condition.

I've always loved the art and the movie itself and was glad to finally purchase this book. The art is so vibrant and the little concept sketches of the characters and what could have been are great. Some pages of the book came a bit roughed up but nothing the kept me from reading and enjoying it.

Great gift especially for young artists who like Ghibli movies. My animator husband yelled like a little boy when I got this for his birthday. The quality of these movies are phenomenal works of art so getting the inside scoop in these books is such a treat. I’m also an illustrator and the works are inspiring— needless to say, a perk of buying it for my husband is that I get to look at it too :) My teenage sister has been selling her art and loves this book as well.

The media could not be loaded.
The Art of Kiki's Delivery Service is a charming art book companion for the movie.
Even though Miyazaki's the director, screenwriter and producer for this film, his art is surprisingly missing in this book. This time round, the main contributing artists are Shinji Otsuka, Yoshifumi Kondo and Katsuya Kondo.
The art is still created using watercolours and they are very beautiful. The character designs by Katsuya Kondo are really cool. You can see the different variations of Kiki, her hairstyle, flying poses, expressions and the little mannerisms all captured. His lines and colours are very simple be he can create a really appealing cast of characters. Together with the two other artists Shinji Otsuka and Yoshifumi Kondo, they contribute the majority of the concept art in this book. And they all seem to draw in similar style for the storyboards.
