Sketching for Animation: Developing Ideas, Characters and Layouts in Your Sketchbook (Required Reading Range)

This is a great book however this book is heavy and they ship them in padded envelops with no protection from drops or bends. See my two photos. Both books arrived damaged. They used to ship books in a special cardboard book protector that holds the book firmly and flat and then they would put it in a box. Cutting corners I guess…

This book has been incredibly helpful as I learn to animate. It’s easy to use and understand. And it has really helpful activities to help you learn. I also love that all the illustrations are hand drawn.

How just draw more the object, animal, you draw as it move even is not super spatial details, as you get the motions in a order on the paper where start and end .So just so mind opening an life changing.

el libro esta genial, muchas gracias

I would highly recommend this book those who like to do animation as a career or hobby there is a lot to be learned from this book. The examplesare excellent for learning about fluid motion in any form of animation. I feel that there is a lot of helpful information in this book. you still need to know the basics to be able to produce the magic of animation.

It is very informative with a lot of information that is very useful. I learned a lot from this book.

Nice

This should be a five star review but my "new" book came damaged. The spine has a bump, the page bottoms have ink or graphite on them and there are bends on the cover and pages. So I'd be wary of quality control.

Love this book, is really enjoy the story like teaching menthod throughout the book. It's not to hard to read and it is jammed pack with information.

I don't know... I expected that it's more about animation but in the end it's more about general drawing

GREAT PRODUCT

Sketching for Animation, ce n'est pas un livre sur l'Animation, mais c'est en réalité bien plus que ça. C'est un livre sur l'état d'esprit qu'il faut avoir pour faire de l'animation, du storyboard, et en somme tout métier créatif qui demande d'être "attentif" à ce qui se passe autour de nous. Comment les gens bougent, comment cadrer efficacement ceci ou cela... c'est très bien agencé.Pour apprendre les principes d'Animation, il faut aller ailleurs : Cartoon (en français) de Preston Blair (très succint) ou Techniques d'Animation de Richard Williams (version fr du "Animator's Survival kit")... c'est la référence ultime... très complet. Pour moi ce livre-ci est une vraie pépite, pour celui qui veut aller au-delà, après la théorie.

Good book
