Hi John,I've been reading your blog for a long time now, and I have found it always inspirational. I've been redrawing the Preston Blair Animation book and I'm about half way through. Every 6 pages I finish I'm uploading for anyone to see (link below). At the moment I've set a goal to complete a Tom and Jerry animated short. I have loved Tom and Jerry since I was little and had always wanted to

Hello, Mr. Kricfalusi, I enjoy studying Preston Blair's book on Animation and I have my own copy of it. In fact, I have some studies of the first page of drawings from the book. You can find them at www.theanimatorscorner.blogspot.com. Please feel free to look them over and tell me what you think. –Steve Peck Saint Paul, MN

I started using Preston Blairs' Advanced Animation book after my mom bought it for me as a birthday present. I still have it! It was quite possibly the best tutorial type book that I have ever used. It was a GREAT stepping stone for me in my quest to become a professional animator and I still refer to it even today, though I am more of a 3D Animator now. I highly recommend this book to everyone!!!

I'll admit disney style doesn't show better skill then many others. But there is no way you can claim it's the best, in the end all it is is a cheesy goofy kiddy entertainment.Half the people here like it becuase of good memories have as a kid, nowadays only kids are actually starting to get into it.Do you seriously think that an average person of today would prefer to watch your goofy disney

Hi JohnK!I have seen a clip of your works and it was beautiful. It was a movieclip showcasing works of artists, cartoonists and animators. Then when I saw it your name rang a bell..I would like to learn your style and techniques 'very soon' that I couldn't wait to buy a Preston Blair book, so I used the images you've uploaded instead (but i'll still buy the book-don't worry). I'd be glad to take

Hi John, better late then never. I'm starting your lessons from lesson 1. I think I improved a whole bunch in since I started the lesson today. If you want to see my stuff, click the link below. There is a sample there right on my blog, and below that sample are links to the first and second pages. Now I have to go and sharpen my pencil and get some more paper, and draw these heads at different

Well, I hope it's not too late to join in on this. I think I have a pretty good idea of how construction works, but there's a difference between having an idea and showing that you can demonstrate that idea, so I'll start from the first lesson. Thank you for posting a useful lesson. I'll finish it as soon as I can.

I'm not an artist, but John has inspired me to pick up a pencil and follow these lessons. Even though I'm late and there are apparently no new lessons, I'm going through Preston Blair's book step by step to learn what I can. Any comments on my drawings are welcome.http://meetingedges.blogspot.comStephen

Hey John, hows it going?Well, I'm pretty sure that I'm kinda late to actually be apart of these lessons, but I'm gonna follow all your posts anyways.I've just recently started thinking about what I want to do with my life, and honestly, cartoons was my best choice. I used to not be able to draw for shit. Then I tried one of the heads from Blaire, and it was probably my best drawing in years.

I had seen it many time before in my local library and drew from it alot as a child.Though I am 27 and I have technically passed the age you say a person learns best to be an artist I still each day plug away

Wow. I just came by this and I am so impressed I'm going to sign up and start the classes ASAP. I have the Preston Blair book and had it since the begining of my time at Art school. Yes - I was a fool and spent about $27,000+ on a Animation Associates degree. And I am still looking for a job in animation - I graduated in 1998.Preston's book has been absolutely invalueble to me. But I haven't

I'm somewhat behind, but here's the first part of lesson one. I'm not happy with these look yet so I'll keep working on them.I'm also going to dig out my scanner and hope it scans better than the one I used for these two!antikewl.com/animation
