Animation Masterclasses: From Pencils to Pixels

Today, it is commonly believed that if you learn software, you can become an animator. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Master animators are trained and not born. Software, as is the humble pencil, is merely yet another tool through which an animator can apply their knowledge. However, neither software nor pencils give you that knowledge, nor do they do the work for you. If you place a fully trained master animator on a computer, or give them a pencil, they¿ll astound you with their mastery. However, if you put a nontrained animator on a computer, all you will have is a technician creating moving objects ¿ as you¿ll see all over YouTube and other video platforms.

This book teaches you exactly how to become a Master Animator ¿ whether you ultimately plan to use pencils, computers, drawing tablets or rigged characters. It¿s a complete course in its own right, being a collection of 48 masterclasses gleaned from the author¿s 50 years of experience
