One book I read in conjunction with Richard Williams is Eric Goldberg's animation crash course. Eric expands on what Richard teaches you in how to apply technique to a character's personality, and planning an animation based on that character's personality, and is really helping me move forward in my own work.
Actually, the Preston Blair book is older than that, going back to the early 1950s. I first saw it in 1958 and it was the first animation book I had when I started out. This was largely because there were no others out there at the time.
My brother and I have all 3 books. They’re a real treasure, especially “The Animator’s Survival Kit”😃😃This book is considered the best learning source for every animator and animation pupil around the world as it covers the entire knowledge of the basics🤩🤩🤩🤩It really helps you understand animation in a proper way! RIP, Mr. Williams💐💐💐💐Thank you for the knowledge🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
These are truly some of the most important and best books for anyone looking to master the art of hand drawn animation. Special thanks for mentioning the oldest masters - wizards of classical animation.
The book "Character Animation Crash Course" by Eric Goldberg is excellent! In my opinion, it is more worthy of inclusion on this list than Preston Blaire's book (though Blaire's book would come in at number four for me).
That is really perfect! I can really get some of those books. Thank you so much. I'll also learn how to draw cute and adorable animal characters in my style!
I honestly want one of the two books the animators survival guide or Disney's illusion of life but i honestly don't know which one to buy can someone help me out here?
Hello everyone. I want to learn animation. How do I start out. I am familiar with a few animation softwares like flash, cinema 4D. Can anybody help a newbie?
Thank you very for this! The said books were obviously Great. and plus another wonderful one. I will look for this books on the book store and learn more.
The book "Character Animation Crash Course" by Eric Goldberg is excellent and even more worthy of being on a "top 3" list than the Preston Blair book. There is a website they provide that goes along with the book with an extensive amount of video material illustrating many of the principles. The link is provided in the book.
Awesome man i find the last one interesting hahah yeah "bloopanimation". i have animatiors survival kit,its awesome now i shifted from 2D to 3D animation,so i need a book on guide on 3D animation. I dont need the basics of it because i am a graduate just tips and tricks would be fine.And also i was looking for on assistance on demoreel for 3D animator,aa..and on how to have an idea on a story of creating a shortmovie, further assistance on higher studies in 3D animation (shifting from degree to masters),how to pick universities which are top best univiersities in the world,aaaa...nd last but not the least how to become a freelance 3D aniamator. i would really be glad and satisfied if i get assistance with all of those above. ans thanks again man "YOU'RE AWESOME".!!!
Robert Bagley see that's where you're wrong Robert, it might look nice on your shelf, and might impress your friends, but both you and I know that 3d animation requires absolutely no skill of any kind, so the book might as well be in Chinese with photos of pandas for all the good it will do you.
Honestly 3d doesn't require any skill so don't waste your time or money. The computer basically does all the work for you, you're pretty much just playing a video game.
For me animation survival kit isn’t the best because it’s too much irrelevant detail, bogged down with theory, and, well, Richard Williams is not the best draftsman, his drawings are a little stiff compared to Blair or Disney. Definitely great info but I would start with Blair.
Yes since the principles of animation is universal no matter what medium you use (stop motion, hand drawn, or 3D animation). They all try create the illusion of movement.

Well then, I know what I want for Christmas XD
These are truly some of the most important and best books for anyone looking to master the art of hand drawn animation. Special thanks for mentioning the oldest masters - wizards of classical animation.
I like the Blair book the best - the clearest distillation of info and the most visual.
Haha! I have all these three books for more than a decade already - even before this video was published.
I found the book of preston Blair on my library ! I'm so happy !
There is one book I wish would have gotten an honorable mention: Character Animation Crash Course by Eric Goldberg(a.k.a. Father of the Genie)
I'm glad that I got Cartoon Animation as a Christmas gift a month back.
I have owned all three for decades! Absolutely a must!
I already have the first and third one! I'll have to get my hands on the 2nd one and bloop one :D

Is it possible to get these books in europe??
Aspiring animators will need to study these. Animation software is the last thing they should learn about.
If you only get one book, The Animator's Survival Kit should be it. Richard Williams is a master. :)
Thank you very much. I can't find any good books about animation here in spain. I'll read it when my english be better. Sorry if I write bad somthing.

Is the second book beneficial to 3D animators?
yes, they are Great for Animation in general.

Robert Bagley see that's where you're wrong Robert, it might look nice on your shelf, and might impress your friends, but both you and I know that 3d animation requires absolutely no skill of any kind, so the book might as well be in Chinese with photos of pandas for all the good it will do you.

can i use all this 3 books for 3D animation?
Emman Martin While they are focused on 2D, these books can teach principles applicable to 3D, although not all of it will be useful.
Honestly 3d doesn't require any skill so don't waste your time or money. The computer basically does all the work for you, you're pretty much just playing a video game.
