4.0 out of 5 stars A really great book for kids who wants to start drawing and animate, March 17, 2006

This review is from: Animating the Looney Tunes Way (Looney Tunes Animating & Drawing Books) (Paperback)
This book is really awesome. It has a super-light text and very beautiful drawings and sketches. I just love Looney Tunes since I was a kid.

But be warned: this book is not another Animator's Survival Kit. It is, really, for kids. The coolest thing in the book are the characters charts. Tons of info on how to draw your favorite Looney Tunes characters!

5.0 out of 5 stars great artist tips, March 11, 2002

This review is from: Animating the Looney Tunes Way (Looney Tunes Animating & Drawing Books) (Paperback)
If you want to learn to draw the great Warner Brothers characters, this is the book. It is a long book with tons of tips and details, not just someone elses drawings to copy. Shows you haw to create movement and many other animators tips for the aspiring young animator. Both my son and I love taking turns with this book. This is one of the nicest quality books of all the Walter Foster books, it has tons of stuff from Warner Brothers including rare background art. The book is bigger, longer than the others. Also it has higher quality paper and binding than the other titles in the series. Has sections on adding color, mood and affect in backgrounds, and a lot of animator info such as walk cycle, running cycle, storyboards, voice recording, color palletes for each character, model sheets, shortcuts and more. So it is much more a How to Animate book, that the How to Draw books I usually get from this company. The book is getting rare sine it has been out of print for 10 years.

This review is from: Animating the Looney Tunes Way (Looney Tunes Animating & Drawing Books) (Paperback)
This book is a great resource for learning how to construct not only the Looney Tunes characters but also characters in general, just from simple shapes like circles.

To it's credit the book covers a lot of characters, but skims over everything but the top 3 or 4, even the coyote and roadrunner get a one page model sheet each. The model sheets are great as they show what makes the character unique, but they fail to show the steps in constructing the characters (it'll have a base shape and then the character beside it).

Even though the books skims on these things it's still definitely worth getting, I continually go back and re-read and construct characters from it.
