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

Description

Review From novice to master in one volume! The depth and breadth of subjects are invaluable to an animator! --Kathryn McKelvey, Lecturer Motion Graphics and Animation Design, University of Northumbria, UKIt covers everything in animation you need to know by connecting it to your sketchbook. --Mario Menjivar, The School of Visual Arts, USAThe book fulfills many functions: whilst it serves as a drawing/painting instruction book and includes exercises in many key techniques; it also inspires through its use of carefully chosen examples. Yet in demonstrating the application of these basic fine-art principles to animation it effortlessly crosses the boundary between disciplines that are too often kept apart. Kathy Nicholls, Senior Lecturer in Animation and Visual Effects, University of Falmouth, UK A great primer on how to get the most out of sketching as it relates to animation. --Ben Ridgway, San Francisco State University, USA About the Author Peter Parr, Reader in Animation (Rtd) and MA Supervisor for The Arts University at Bournemouth (AUB), UK.
