Review

From novice to master in one volume! The depth and breadth of subjects are invaluable to an animator! ― Kathryn McKelvey, University of Northumbria, UK

It covers everything in animation you need to know by connecting it to your sketchbook. ― Mario Menjivar, The School of Visual Arts, USA

A great primer on how to get the most out of sketching as it relates to animation. ― Ben Ridgway, San Francisco State University, USA

The 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, University of Falmouth, UK

This is the most complete and rich text on the market. An essential book to understand advanced as well as basic techniques. ― Pulvirenti Luca Orazio, Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo, Italy

This is an excellent and vital resource to demonstrate the importance of drawing and using a sketchbook as a crucial tool for all animators whether they work digitally or traditionally. It is beautifully and richly illustrated, using a wide range of examples from both the author and other professional animators. It also has helpful exercises to undertake as well as offering inspiration from its vast range of illustrated examples. A beautiful and informative book. ― Roslind Allen, University of Sunderland, UK

This is an exceptional book on drawing. It covers a vast range of techniques and ideas in a clear and concise way with fantastic illustrated examples. Always carefully placing these within the context of animation production, Peter Parr has created a book that without a doubt will become a key text. — Tim Holleyman, Senior Lecturer in Animation

    Une belle découverte
    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.

    Great book but lousy shipping method
    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…

    Incredible.
    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.

    Drawing while moving
    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.

    the basics for the magic art
    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.
