Reader’s Rating: 3 / 5
I loved reading this book not because I am an artist but because I have permanently wanted to know more about their techniques. This book
Reader’s Rating: 3 / 5
This is a collection of class notes from on-the-job animation classes agreed by one of the legends of animation, Walt Stanchfield. The notes are largely unedited, so this isn’t really a “how-to” on apt an animation artist; rather it is really a book of thoughts on how to enhance your ability to draw, especially work for animation. But any animation film buff will find it appealing; and really the book is very appealing for all. The leader has an simple-going style, and he is reasonably entertaining.
The book is grouped into all-purpose topics, but due to the scenery of these being class notes, there is some repetition of some of the subjects, and it isn’t designed as a perfect course coverage of “how to be an animation artist” but rather “OK this week we are going to talk about lighting.” There are a lot of appealing things mentioned about what made Disney animation films groundbreaking. One nice thing about the random scenery of the book; you can just pick it up and jump around in it; read a few pages here, then some pages there.
Just a warning; of the hundreds of sketches included, a few of them the artist forgot to sketch clothes on the person being sketched. Being a book about Disney animation that was disappointing. I guess I’ll sketch some clothes for them.

Of course Disney will permanently be synonymous with animation. Their canon of work in the Forties and Fifties is considered by many film critics to be the gold standard of cell animated features. And with that said, any budding young animator or cartoonist can learn much from the reams of technical information (800 pages worth!) between the covers of Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes, Volume 1: The Walt Stanchfield Lectures. What keeps this book from getting 5 stars? The illustrations used as examples of artistic technic are regularly tiny. Some figure drawings (like the ones on page 261) measure about an inch tall. This is the only fault in a book that should be bought by any art student.
