Cartooning: Animation 1 with Preston Blair: Learn to animate step by step

Warning! if you want the complete experience, you're better off buying the collector's edition, there's so much more in it. I din't realize that on time: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/1560100842/?coliid=IUVCEP7EUM80J&colid=25L1WY7WJU851&psc=0It's about 17 pounds.The size of it took me by surprise, it's A3 sized and a rather thin book, but that's on me for not reading the descriptions better.However, this really feels pretty helpful and it gives you basic poses for animation that you can base yourself off.

This was very late arriving. The supplier granted a refund. The book is informative.

It's okayish - the drawings are good and a lot of them but not much explanation. I was surprised at how thin the book felt... I wouldn't exactly rave about this one - not quite what I was expecting. It might make one minor point with very little text followed by lots of diagrams. If you're a total nohoper like me then its not always obvious as to what or how todo what he's going on about.

This is an absolutely brilliant book, both as a learning tool and a reference point for your own further exercises. Although the description may make it sound light on pages, the book itself is huge, packed with detail, and feels absolutely lovely to flick through. The pedigree of the author certainly shines through in the quality of the artwork and teaching, and it finally got me to understand previously ungraspable principles, including the line of motion, 'appeal', and the dreaded walk cycle. I can't recommend it enough - this goes right up there with Richard Williams.

This was the book that started my love of art aged 8. My teenage son also loves it. Breaks down how to draw Disney without being patronising ... what’s not to like!
