Lesson One Complete

ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive: Meta: The $100,000 Animation Drawing Course- Lesson 1

Scanned all of Lesson One

These Drawings are from the Preston Blair with notes. 

These egg drawings are from my Model Egg

These are the first run of drawings from the Preston Blair Animation Book.  I have my corrections in red pencil. Pretty much, the only problems was not paying enough attention to the little details. 

Second Run, Paid more attention to the details, and had sharper pencils.. lol 

Feeling Good, Feeling Great

So, yesterday I found out the Larry Lauria, whose Toon Institute I'm learning from alongside John K's has a youtube page. This youtube page led me to find out that he now has online animation vlogs where he, himself teaches animation. They are 20 bucks each. AWESOME AND CHEAP ! right up my alley. John K also has animation lessons and his are free, lol, even better. Learning from these two and my amazing google/twitter/youtube power, I feel like I'm going to be set. I feel so great. : )

Afternoon !

I "re-found" more supplemental information on the basic head construction. So I worked through Part One, and now I'm moving on to Part Two. Then, I think I'll post my red-inked drawings of corrections and then the revised drawings. That should finish up Lesson One of the $100,000 Drawing Course !! Yay : )

I don't know if I'm going to move on to Lesson Two, or continue doing a study of basic head construction and principles. I want to make sure I have a really solid base before I move on to Squashing and Stretching, which the Lesson Two.

OH YEAH, I also found this Blog http://cartooncave.blogspot.com/ by Pete Emslie . And I came across a posting about Disney's The Princess and the Frog. It was really informative. It was mostly about Eyes, and the proper way to draw them. It's funny how paying attention the the smallest details really bring more life to your animations.
