It's Drawing Time

Yes another post about drawing. I am waiting in our animation building waiting for the figure drawing session to start. However, I can't stress enough the importance of figure drawing. Learn your anatomy, work with lines of action, poses, and simply pick up the pencil and do it. All you really need to do is one sketchbook page a day (15-20 min.) and I promise you will see results over time. Especially for those who want to be animators, learn figure drawing, because it is the bases for everything you need for animation. [Weight, line of action, pose... the works]

Here are some good reference materials if you are struggling with figure drawing:
Dynamic Figure Drawing

Vilppu Drawing Manual


Anyways, happy drawing...


In addition, here is yet another fine text written for animators. It really is a good resource for strengthening weight in poses, along with lines of action.
