The book fulfills many functions: whilst it serves as a drawing/painting instruction book and includes exercises in many key techniques; it also inspires through its use of carefully chosen examples. Yet in demonstrating the application of these basic fine-art principles to animation it effortlessly crosses the boundary between disciplines that are too often kept apart. - --Kathy Nicholls, University of Falmouth, UK

This is an excellent and vital resource to demonstrate the importance of drawing and using a sketchbook as a crucial tool for all animators whether they work digitally or traditionally. It is beautifully and richly illustrated, using a wide range of examples from both the author and other professional animators. It also has helpful exercises to undertake as well as offering inspiration from its vast range of illustrated examples. A beautiful and informative book. - --Roslind Allen, University of Sunderland, UK
