Wow, its been a crazy, busy, fun filled, awesome 12 weeks taking Basic Foundations with Wayne Gilbert at AnimationMentor.com. Its pretty amazing what I’ve learned in so little time, but there is still so much more to be learned. Wayne Gilbert was an awesome mentor with helping and teaching us along the way. You can also get his Simplified Drawing for Planning Animation book from his site here. It really helps keep things simple and I’ve used it as reference many times as I try to improve my drawing skills and planning. Here’s my progress reel from class 1:

I start online character animation school at AnimationMentor.com end of june for the summer session. I already got the required books “The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation” and “The Animator’s Survival Kit“. I’ve already started reading the books and they are pretty easy to read, but I’ll probably have to read it a few times to get the concepts down.

I’m really looking forward to the classes. I’m sure when it comes time to plan things out for a scene, flash will come in real handy.

If you decided to join the program, put me down as a referral when you apply and I’ll get $200 after you complete class 1.
