Force - Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators (Electronic book text)

This book is key to understanding how to capture forceful poses with dynamic drawing. It is informative, concise, and packed full of inspirational illustrations. Mike Mattesi helps novice animators and artists create appealing dynamic poses in their drawings. These are vital skills for both traditional and computer animators. 'Force' is not just another 'anatomy for animators' book - it assumes the reader has experience of figure drawing and the focus here is to build on that knowledge and to use straight and curved lines to show the direction of force in the body. Every point in the text is thoroughly demonstrated with the help of superb, dynamically drawn examples. The first edition was self-published with iUniverse in June 2004, despite poor production values and very minimal marketing it still garnered five very positive reviews on Amazon.com and had healthy sales.
