Spotted the Preston Blair one at a used book store today.

This book was a recent buy, and on total impulse as I have no previous interest in animation. Most interesting art-related book I have ever started. I am *obsessed*.

Been wanting to draw some fanart for Poor George MAP since it's my favorite one, and because it was its anniversary recently, I finally did it :>

ID: A digital drawing in two panels with characters from Warriors. In the panel above, there's Yellowfang watching Brokenkit play with a moss ball, she looks endearingly at the little kit; they're in a green environment and plants surround them. In the panel below, Yellowfang is in the same possition, looking down at an adult Brokenstar at her feet, already dead, she looks sorrowful. Fireheart is by her side, looking at her with compassion. They're at ThunderClan's medicine den.

First image is page 301 from The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams, regarding how flexible objects wave as they change direction (as well as how a whip's action works, on the upper half of the page).

The second image is an animated gif I made, which I traced from the page, to show the principle in motion as a way to assist anyone who may have difficulty visualizing the motion on the still page.

The long weekend soon'll be over but I'm in denial.

Check out my "The Animator's Survival Kit" studies! I did a great deal of these lessons in 2008, recreated the book from page 1 to 125 and now I am going to start posting them here! Enjoy! Here is my "Timing & Spacing" study. Understanding the difference between Slow In/Slow Out and even spacing. - Lavalle Lee

When I was reading The Animators Survival kit and Richard Williams started dissing The Yellow Submarine movie I felt like my parents were getting divorced

[bardkin]

i feel like a Ton of therians, alterhumans, nonhumans, & otherkin would get a kick out of Meadow~

it's basically a virtual world where you're a woodland critter and you just hang out & find collectables, and you communicate via emotes & pictographs + it's super pretty :3

E: "Yeah but, does that even matter anymore? Like, who died and left Richard Williams in charge of teaching animation?" C: "Art Babbitt."
