FORCE DRAWING

Hello everyone,

So I managed to find something very useful for knowledge and reference. There's a book some students use in Sheridan Animation. The book is called Force Drawing by Michael Mattesi. These books can help you with general drawing skills such as line quality, force, movement, and understanding some concepts behind dynamic drawing.

In short, Mattesi finds a unique array of skills which are both technical and conceptual. By conceptual I mean that he has acquired a lot of skills understands how to draw force and draw lines that have emphasis. From a technical standpoint, these books are great  for a new artist trying to explore drawing skills that animators use or simply know how to create characters with better line quality. These books are amazing and all my friends who are some of the best artists in the program use these books. I wouldn't exactly recommend these books for a extreme beginners because first of all one must know anatomy, however, these books are really good for reference.
