Currently I am taking animation workshops taught by the animators from disney such as Michael Woodside and Marlon Nowe. Ive gone to the Pixar benefit where me and a good friend got incredible advice from Mark Walsh and Ronnie Del Carmen. Ive taken a Pixar Masterclass taught by Andrew Gordon and Matthew Luhn.

Likewise if someone is looking for possible exercises, why not share a link to these and give them a hand? Have any questions about the exercises above? Leave a comment below and we’ll answer them the best we can! Someone else may be wondering the exact same thing, so you’ll help them too. Something not quite right? Take the time to fix it. You owe it to yourself to try your very best. You don’t have to show anyone, these are for you. There is no reason to do these exercises poorly. Going back to push-ups, would push-ups be harder if while doing them you also recited the Gettysburg Address? Yes. Keep it simple! There is no reason to over complicate any of these exercises.You’re supposed to animate feelings.” If a character isn’t thinking, they aren’t alive, and the animation has failed. Do not forget the famous words of Ollie Johnston: “You’re not supposed to animate drawings.If you want the benefit, you must animate them. Reading these exercises will do as much for you as reading about push-ups would do for your physical muscles: NOTHING.Enhance the differences the weight change makes!

Masterpieces like the dwarfs dancing in Snow White or the terror of the Monstro scene in Pinocchio. And some would argue they created some of the greatest animation to ever be seen. They learned via the age old art of hands-on training, experimenting and discovering as they went. Here were a group of animators (before being an animator was even a thing) who HAD no books to read, or websites to visit, or even experienced animators to ask. Maybe you still need convinced of how important the “Art of Doing” is? Look no further than the early days of animation, especially at the Disney studio. Today we’ve compiled a list of exercises, like animation push-ups, that will get your art skills buff and toned. Articles, tips, mentors, and study will never get you as far as rolling up your sleeves and getting down to work, be it animation or any other skill. It’s a simple bit of advice that rings with absolute truth.
