TESTIMONIALS
what ONLINE students have said about MY current UDEMY course...
‘Man! I LOVED this course! This has been one of the most worthwhile uses of my time in learning animation!... Tony felt like a kindly father passing along all the magical things he's learned over the years... I can't say enough great things about this course!’
~ Matt. (5/5 stars)
‘One of the best animation tutorials ever. The instructor is a high class one.’
~ Judy (5/5 stars)
‘I've always wanted to be an animator, ever since I was a little kid. Well, an animator or a comedian. But neither happened, and so here I am now, coming back to that old dream of mine. If you're like me and you long for the days of the old Disney movies when everything seemed so fluid and more natural, I think this course is for you. Mr. White really knows how to keep my interest, and he's a wonderful teacher!’
~ Brandy (5/5 stars)
‘Great step by step guidance through the basic yet complete animation process of fundamental elements, which is shown in detail.’
~ Edson (5/5 stars)
‘Love the content so far. Informative, insightful. Can't wait to continue.’
~ Hjalti (4.5/5 stars)
‘The course was very accommodating in the respect that the animation could be done on paper or paperless in the computer. I enjoyed both the history lessons and the clear instruction that was given in this course and have felt my drawings and animation improve during the course. I have recommended the course to other friends interested in animation. Thank you Tony White!’
~ Andrew (5/5 stars)
‘Awesome Course! I am an Artist {langisart.com} and have been studying animation, anatomy, and other things to always be improving my work {traditional and digital} over the years I have also purchased quite a few books on the subject... Also the animations done in Toon Boom were nice, saving a lot of time using the bones feature for the inbetweens. Very Pleased.’
~ William (5/5 stars)
‘Tony explains very well the process of bouncing ball and walking cycle, the most important was step by step explanation and some important theory behind it!!! Nice intro about animation past and funny but smart short animation "Endangered Species". It shows all the work in paper and pen (amazing) and then in ToonBoom. Some students have really amazing homework ;D ‘
~ Duarte (5/5 stars)
‘Excellent fundamentals are taught that will apply to a wide variety of animation challenges.’
~ Kevin (5/5 stars)
‘Tony does a great job of walking you thru some of the history, drawing/animation basic and putting it all together in the end.’
~ LarryB (4/5 stars)
‘Animation has always eluded me - I'm not a graphic artist, but this tutorial was fantastic for providing very clear instruction on how to build up an animation. Definitely worth taking!’
~ Adam (5/5 stars)

WHAT AMAZON READERS HAVE SAID ABOUT MY BOOKS...

If you want to learn animation pick up this book and The Illusion of Life and you will learn so very much.’

~ Robin McDonald
‘Agreeing with all the great things previously said about this book, I can only add that "The Animator's Workbook" is the best book suited for artists just starting out in animation. It is thorough, practical and motivating, without being intimidating. If you know anybody - young or old - who wants to get into animation but does not know where to start, studying "The Animator's Workbook" is a great beginning.’
~ Ristobee
‘I first stumbled upon this book when I was learning to do character animation with a 3D computer program. I found that I could learn the principles easily by doing the exercises in the book with my 3D software. Now I teach character animation, and I use Tony's section on the walk cycle to teach students how to do it in 3D.’
