Sample Pages from Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes, Volume 2

This series of books by Walt Stanchfield has been one of the most thought provoking and inspiring works that I have read in a very long time. Reading this book always makes me want to draw. I can't count how many times a sentence or lesson has sparked my imagination and given me cause to break out the pencils once again. I am not an animator, but I really enjoy drawing from life. Walt's instruction has really helped make those life drawing experiences fulfilling and challenging. I would definitely recommend this book to any artist that loves/likes to draw. It has been compared to 'The Natural Way to Draw' the best drawing handbook ever written. While Master Classes is less structured (no instructions to 'draw for 3 hours'), it definitely deserves to be in a class with 'The Natural Way to Draw.' It really is that good. Üzgünüz I went to the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA. The teacher that recommended this book learned directly and worked with Walt Stanchfiled. She even took over the Quick Studies class he taught at Disney. All that said she recommended this book and would always site it for reference and teaching. All the 'rules' and help in here are proven methods for animation that are still in use today at Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, etc. Such as 'Squash and Stretch', 'Opposing Shapes', etc. I am a storyboard artist myself and have leaned so much from the 2 volumes and I haven't even ready all the way through them.

So in short if you are getting to animation, storyboards, Graphic Novels, or just want to draw better save your money and get volume 1 and 2.

Finally these books are not 'How to draw a horse' or 'how to draw (insert whatever)' they are about rules and pronciples for making dynamic and energetic characters, drawings, and scenes.

***Update 12/29/2014***
Still have these books in my library and constantly refer to them. I am getting into storyboards professionally and these books are always helpful. Again they are INDUSTRY STANDARD PRINICPLES that all animation and art studios use and that are taught in major schools such as Academy of Art University, Cal Arts (in so cal). If you are trying to make your drawing better and appealing get these books, read them, and put the principles into practice. Volumes 1 and 2 cost about 80 90 dollars and a class at AAU in SF costs about $2500, and they will teach you these principles. Save money and get ahead of the curve. These 'rules' are so important that they are mentioned in all animation classes and are the foundation for any good illustration. Üzgünüz Walt Stanchfield is an artist, phillosopher, and master of Disney animation. This book is the conclusion of lectures he gave for the Beauty and the Beast era animators at Disney and his tireless efforts to bring animation back to the level of the original Disney studio. This book is informative and inspirational and should belong to any animator. The first book had ground shaking information for me, but perhaps when I've been studying for 30 years, the second volume will be relevant. Üzgünüz This is a perfect book especially for those who draw without formal instruction. The books 'Drawn from Life' are notes made by a master teacher to students after a animation drawing class. Many examples include student drawings with the corrections of the instructor. The class and the instructor used ball point pen for drawing so the illustrations are perfectly clear. But the drawings are only half the story. The lively accompanying commentary has the feeling of informal speech. The stories are compelling making this a good read especially considering the fact that these are drawing books. Though I am not an animator, but a scene designer, I find that I have applied the principles taught here in filling my design sketches with figures that seem to move, making my scene designs come to life. Üzgünüz WOW!

Such an incredible book. You'll have to read it over again because there's so much useful information inside, it can be a lot to retain the first time around.

Character Design, Drawing in Perspective, Foreshortening, etc.

This book arrived very quickly and in great condition.

I would highly recommend this seller to any and all! Üzgünüz

Instructional, entertaining, enlightening. After just one day of owning this super book I've already experienced several 'ah ha!' moments, 'wow's!' and numerous giggles too! Wish I had known of this book before, it's an excellent source of instruction for the new beginner artist, as well as the advanced. Üzgünüz Great book.
