review:

The Legend of Korra is an animated series by the same people who created Avatar:The Last Airbender (the cartoon series, not the movie), and is a sequel to that series. The book covers the first season of the series.



The book traces origin art for all the major characters, and the first thing I noticed is how many characters are in this series. There are some short explanations for art choices, but mostly, it's just pages of art. Many of the episodes are given chapters and these focus on the scenery and characters in these episodes. The second thing I noticed is how great the backgrounds look in this series.



This book would be an excellent gift for a young fan with an interest in art or animation. It doesn't really give drawing instructions, but many of the pencil sketches show the artist's breakdowns. It's a well done package for a series with a pretty good fanbase, and I enjoyed getting to know the characters from the artist's perspectives.
