I'm Getting It.

 


I'm getting the Preston Blair Animation Book for Christmas. I can't wait. I'm going to have the best christmas ever. 



First of all I've been loving researching on how to animate like how classic animation used to do it and I still think it's useful for modern animators to this day.






You call tell I'm beginning to be a pro and I'm using a trustworthy pencil to draw. Using pen is kinda a mistake.



The future is looking bright, I just have to keep drawing some good things for y'all because enjoyment is the best part in life.





Droopy's front face I did all on my own. It looks exactly like how he looks in front of his view.


I actually love the designs alot on these pages. The egg shapes on the left are useful. 


I would definitely say the preston blair book made me draw more lively. 




This was before I knew anything about classic animation and model sheets.



Im definitely involved using screens most of the time but when I get older I'll start to get more active oriented and have the book I have in the future. I mostly looked at interesting websites in the first place to discover the guys name and sketches.



Thanks to Digicel, I've been starting animating a few files already and it's a really simple and fun app. Alot of recent legendary animators recommended it like Don Bluth and Eric Goldberg. 



Can't wait to be making content on YouTube like this 🙌 






And not this. 👎





Animation like this is timeless and I would say it's still used and loved by most animators today including myself. I know there are different styles of art and I think that's awesome. I'm willing to go through a approach to homage classic animation, slapstick and classic actors for all audiences.

Preston Blair Stuff

 


Preston Blair is a cartoonist that is kinda important because he's well known for making some iconic and well designed characters.


This is one of my favorites. I've been sketching the dog design and more or so the wolf design.




When I first seen Preston Blair's animation I didn't even realize that this is how classic animation back then worked. I liked it the more I looked into it and felt like watching more classic animation studios than just Warner Bros. I fell for Disney, Fleischer Studios and MGM Cartoons. 


A few days later I got the hang of doing this myself and it was fun. Of course back then I loved the zany expression of the cartoon Wolf in Northwest Hounded Police. 


Whenever I finished my work early in classes, I would sometimes be able to draw and study forms of animated characters. 


When I was little, I always thought drawing animals like deer, giraffes, and horses were the hardest thing ever. It helped when I watched cartoons especially the classic ones. 


I loved drawing the Meathead Dog in the Screwy Squirrel cartoons. He the funniest character in the Tex Avery Cartoons.



This is probably the most important one in the entire book. 


This just tells you that drawing is my favorite hobbies. Drawing is the meaning of animation.
