The eponymous Steven is a boy who—alongside his mentors, the Crystal Gems (Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl)—must learn to use his inherited powers to protect his home, Beach City, from the forces of evil. Bursting with concept art, production samples, early sketches, storyboards, and exclusive commentary, this lavishly illustrated companion book offers a meticulous written and visual history of the show, as well as an all-access tour of the creative team’s process. Steven Universe: Art & Origins reveals how creator Rebecca Sugar, the writers, the animators, and the voice actors work in tandem to bring this adventure-packed television series to life. Also Available: Steven Universe: End of an Era (978-1-4197-4284-2) and Steven Universe: The Tale of Steven (978-1-4197-4148-7) Review: One of the BEST art books I have ever owned! - I am an intermittent watcher of the show Steven Universe but I have always liked the concept and have been tracking Rebecca Sugar’s art since symbionic titan and adventure time. However, just viewing this art book piqued my interest and really sitting down and reading it blew me away! This book is LOADED WITH GREAT ART! The concept art as well as the promo pieces for the pilot and the pitch shows the level of care, detail, effort and intensity that went into the creation of the show. The process works (and finished pieces as well) are simple yet ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Amongst artists it is known that expressing much using minimal details is an amazing skill that few possess and many aspire to. In this book you see this skill in SPADES! The team that works on Steven Universe is AMAZING AND VERY UNDERRATED as what is shown in this book goes above and beyond most industry standards. As a lackluster and apathetic fan of watching the show, that just shows from an art standpoint what exactly this book entails. Do yourself a favor and pick this up as you will NOT be disappointed. For fans of animated shows of all varieties this is flat out how to do art for animation. It stands up there with the likes of the art of big hero 6, Tarzan art book (one of my top 5 favorites by the way), lesean Thomas’s Art books and has the life and movement in the art that you’d see from Yoh Yoshinari. That’s no small feat and it’s standing amongst the greats of the industry. This book will not be a waste of one penny spent. I highly recommend and give this one 5 stars! Review: THIS is how you do an art book - I severely underestimated how detailed this book would be. I have art books for other subjects like video games, and most of them pale in comparison to this one. I expected some nice concept drawings and some short commentary, but there's so much more than that. Detailed descriptions of the work that goes into different parts of the show - not just the artwork - are sprinkled throughout the book (there's even a page that includes the sheet music for the piano on the song "It's Over, Isn't It", which is my favorite song in the show so far). When you're not looking at the art, the written parts of the book are very interesting to read. The great thing about the text is that there's just the right amount of it - not too much and not too little. The art is definitely the main attraction and the people who put this book together knew that. Aside from its contents, the book itself seems to be made of quality materials. The pages are thick enough to turn comfortably without worrying too much about tearing them, and the cover is sturdy. Overall, I think this is my favorite art book. I really feel like I've learned a lot about the creative process of Steven Universe while also enjoying some really cool art, and in my opinion, that's what the purpose of art books should be. It's easy to tell that this book was NOT just slapped together to appease some impatient fans or make some quick money. Everything looks like it was meticulously arranged. A lot of love went into this book, and it shows. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #185,695 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in TV Direction & Production #107 in Animation Graphic Design (Books) #581 in Pop Culture Art | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 2,835 Reviews | ## Images ![Steven Universe: Art & Origins - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xZil6h1uL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the BEST art books I have ever owned! *by K***S on October 12, 2018* I am an intermittent watcher of the show Steven Universe but I have always liked the concept and have been tracking Rebecca Sugar’s art since symbionic titan and adventure time.

Due to it being so popular I had to get it a month after I bought it even with prime. Not a big deal because believe me, it is worth the wait! The cover itself basically made me cry itself (I know, I'm such a art nerd and very lame lol). The art in it is so BEAUTIFUL! The sketches, reading the messy-notes scattered across the pages and concept art, storyboards, pictures, just everything was well put and though out. The sketches were vivid and printed very well, considering the price is quite low for a book this size in full color. Seriously, did not expect this book to be so large. Its thick and large, looks great as a coffee table book once finished. But be warned, do not buy this book expecting it just to be art. I would say the art is 50% of this book, most of the book is word-heavy with some pages focused on the art, but the art is also covered with notes. I would not recommend this book to anyone under 12 because it is so word heavy. The stories written in this book from the creators and crewniverse are insightful, funny, some sad, and often really interesting. They give inspirations, and sometimes slips in a few PG13 jokes. Really great book that honestly made me tear up just looking at it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/44157247-steven-universe-art-and-origins](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/44157247-steven-universe-art-and-origins) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
