Drawing and sketching are central to the art of animation and can be crucial tools in designing and developing original stories, characters and layouts. Sketching for Animation offers a wealth of examples, exercises and tips from an army of professional animators to help you develop essential sketching, technical drawing and ideation techniques. With interviews and in-depth case studies from some of today's leading animators, including Bill Plympton, Glen Keane, Tori Davis and John Canemaker, this is a unique guide to turning your sketchbook - the world's cheapest, most portable pre-visualisation tool - into your own personal animation armory.

Review: My Drawing Book is Helpful - The book is really helpful. I learned about good drawing skills and techniques.
Review: Great for learning - This is a great way to start if you want to learn more about animation drawing. Both of my kids love Disney and love trying to draw the characters. Especially when they take their drawings to the parks to meet the characters and show them. It helps them improve on their drawing skills.
