The Animator's Workbook offers a complete course on the principles and techniques of drawn animation. Stressing that animation is a subtle and exacting art form which breathes life into inanimate drawings, Tony White, an award winning animator, covers every aspect of the process. He provides technical information and explains in easy-to-follow text and step-by-step illustrations, how to capture movement, expression and emotion. He shows you how to convincingly animate birds and animals and explores special effects-wind, water, fire, and solid objects-that can add realism, drama, and atmosphere to animation.
