    For the aspiring animator

    I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of this book. The author and illustrator is one of the animation team for Disney who worked on Mulan, et. al. He delivers examples and dialog which is both easy to understand and inspiring. The book is jammed with suggestions that will help you form techniques in your drawings that will make them really stand out. This is definitely one that you will want to have for a reference if you are learning to draw characters, animals, and even other-earthly folks.

    Great for building realistic characters with animation & more.

    This book describes how individuals should consider the work with building realistic animation characters. There are descriptions of activities from the beginning towards the end that take on a story which can assist makers to draw with the exercises as well as the considerations that go into character building. With this material the focus on characters is about their consistency which impacts the realism of them for viewers even if they are totally fake looking characters.
