Hey guys, just found out Animation Mentor has two free ebooks that are about 100 pages long each, on tips and tricks for character animation. This is a must download! The first one you can simply go to and read/download right away, but the second one just came out and they want your email before they send it to you. No biggie. Also, it looks like they are going to have a free webinar april 22nd about the workflow and planning tips for animators. Check it out!

Indeed! Animation Mentor puts out some really, really good stuff. There students are top notch. I have marked my calender for the webinar. If you follow the webinar link, it looks like they have previous webinar's they held from the past on there. I haven't checked them out yet, but they look interesting as well.

Animating is something I've not put a great deal of time into, I'll have to take a look at these. Cheers for the link.

Nice find. I've always been a fan of the student videos they put out now and again. They seem to take a lot of inspiration from the Disney/Pixar style animation.... Which is an incredibly good thing.

I shall give these a read!
