From Don Bluth - master animator, artist and director of such cartoon classics as The Secret of N.I.M.H., An American Tail, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Anastasia, and Titan A.E. - comes The Art of Animation Drawing, a companion textbook to 2004's The Art of Storyboard. While Storyboard described in detail the technical and creative processes involved in crafting the visual blueprints for animated films, The Art of Animation Drawing focuses on the process of designing characters; adapting those characters to script, voice talent and music; directing the "performances" of your characters; the timing and rhythm of movement; analyzing action; and much more. Loaded with Bluth's gorgeous artwork and lively, inspirational commentary, The Art of Animation Drawing is a must for animators of any level and a delight for animation enthusiasts of any age.
