RECOMMENDED
DRAWING BOOKS

Here are some great books I would recommend for any artists.
They all talk about CONSTRUCTION, THE LINE OF ACTION, and have a nice over all approach to drawing.

 

Another good book not pictured is called:
"Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life" by Frank Thomas & Ollie Johnston


Here's a very good book for drawing action:
It's called "Action! Cartooning" by Ben Caldwell.
ISBN#: 0-8069-8739-1


I highly recommend this
book for figure drawing!


Glenn Vilppu was my figure drawing instructor at Cal Arts for 2 years.
He's an excellent artist who use to work for Disney and also trained some of the Disney artists.
Though Glenn does not teach at Cal Arts any more, you may find him giving private workshops
at some of the local art schools in around southern California.
For more info on Glenn's workshop-
Try calling The American Animation Institute at (818) 766-0521.
His Drawing manuals could be found in stores like

or CARTER SEXTON in North Hollywood, CA. (818) 763-5050.
