Exploring Drawing for Animation is an innovative introduction to 2D animation and inspirational skill-sharpener for working professionals.

The instructional format builds animation skills from the ground up, using a technical foundation in drawing as a basis for exploring animation. Overviews span the topics of sequence drawing, character development, motion, proportional techniques, and animation clean-up.
