ABSTRACT

The process of using The Animator’s Sketchbook is very simple. On almost all of opening pages of each exercise, you will find brief written guidelines that will help you to see and draw specific things that you need to observe as an animator. You will be directed to specific actions or locations that you need to find and draw. There will be a time limit given for each instruction too, so you will have to learn to discipline yourself in doing the exercise in the time required. When you have completed all the drawing assignments in this book-and hopefully added many of your own too-you should have an immaculate, animation-focused sketchbook that will be a major part of your presentation material when you go out to work in the industry. There will of course be nothing like it out there-it will be entirely unique to you. This will hopefully put you ahead of your competition in any job or college position you apply for.
