Tutorial 6 Squidward Actingby ~shermcohen

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Cartoons / Other

#6 in a series of 12 tutorial sheets created for the SpongeBob crew in 2005 (4th season) --More on Line of Action

I first encountered the notion of the "line of action" in the classic animation book by Preston Blair. He was an animator for Disney and MGM, and he popularized the concepts that were developed and being used every day by the masters of Golden Age animation.

The good news is that this book is available for free online, and the specific page you'll want to look at is about a third of the way down on this page>>>[link]<<<

Check out lots of free video tutorials on my blog at >> [link] << See you there!

Thanks! I'm super-glad you found it helpful

The importance of a strong line of action can't be overestimated.

I've always read about the 'line of action' but I never really understood it until now.
For that, I thank you.

I will have to keep all of your tutorials in mind when I get into Ai for media arts <:
