Preston Blair Lessons: Fundamentals of Animation Drawing

Private Lessons?

Amid suggested I do what Bill Plympton, Dick Williams and others are doing. Offer private classes to cartoonists.

He said somthing like 8-10 2 hour lectures and instruction for maybe $1500. (Still a lot cheaper than animation colleges)

I doubted here would be that many people in my area who would wanna do that.

let me know what you think.

The lessons on the bg are good for being free, but you do learn a lot more when someone goes over your drawings in person.
