## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Awesome for the start
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2013*

This is a good pickup for the introduction of the drawing required in animation that the set of AVA books has to offer. There are brief projects to try throughout the series, and more hints on approaching the career in obtaining a masterful grasp of the craft. The whole series is more about opening one's mind to a new way of thinking that is relevant to the field of animation. The series does provide a plentiful amount of gems that are not in any other books on the subject, and it also covers some reiterations, yet at times they are more reinterpretations. The picture qualities in all of these provide excellent sources to extrapolate inspiration and references.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    It was an interesting read, but not very helpful ...
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2014*

It was an interesting read, but not very helpful. It doesn't so much teach anything about drawing as much as attack Disney and promote a few rather uninteresting artists. I'm all for alternatives to Disney style, but this was pretentious and not very helpful as an animation education text. If you are interested in animation and can get past the prattle, it is worth reading, just try and buy it on the cheap.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good, scholarly, but not definitive
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2012*

Quite a good book, thanks to well-chosen illustrations and the insights of artists like Joanna Quinn and Nina Paley. Unfortunately, author Paul Wells makes you fight your way through sentences like: "When drawing provides the infrastructure of an approach there is always a relationship between the psychology of creative practice and its technical applications." This sort of writing works when it's the only way to express a complicated idea, but here it seems to be academese for its own sake. You end up having no idea whether Wells himself draws, which you'd think would be a prerequisite for writing a book on drawing. For more useful texts on the subject, see Don Graham's "Composing Pictures" and Walt Stanchfield's "Drawn to Life" volumes.
