The first edition of The Animation Book, published in 1979, became the authoritative guide to making animated movies. Now, as we enter the twenty-first century, the explosion in computer technology has created a corresponding boom in animation. Using desktop hardware and software, animators can easily produce high-quality, high-artistry animation and mix the aesthetics of traditional cel animation with dazzling 3-D effects. Kit Laybourne''s digital revision to The Animation Book brings you to the cutting edge of animation technology. Richly illustrated with frame-grabs, production stills, and diagrams, this volume shares Kit''s infectious enthusiasm for the limitless possibilities of today''s hybrid techniques, and it provides beginning animators with all the information they need to jump in and start their own animation projects. More advanced animators will find The Animation Book to be an invaluable resource with detailed descriptions of filmmaking gear, computer hardware and software, art supplies, plus Internet and other resources.Using an innovative case-study approach, Kit deconstructs how a range of digital projects were carried out at some of today''s hottest animation studios, including Wildbrain, Blue Sky, Protozoa, Fantome, Broderbund, Nicktoons, and Klasky Csupo. These step-by-step studies show how desktop animators can follow the same creative process in their own films.

Published for the first time ever, Drawn to Life is a two volume collection of the legendary lectures from long-time Disney animator Walt Stanchfield. For over twenty years, Walt helped breathe life into the new golden age of animation with these teachings at the Walt Disney Animation Studios and influenced such talented artists as Tim Burton, Brad Bird, Glen Keane, and John Lasseter. These writings represent the quintessential refresher for fine artists and film professionals, and it is a vital tutorial for students who are now poised to be part of another new generation in the art form.

Haunting landscapes, mythical creatures, and a style that stirred the new gothic revival: that is the enchanted world of Anne Sudworth. Finally, here is a comprehensive collection of her marvelous works, along with a selection of studies and roughs, an appendix featuring an illustrated treatment of her techniques, and incisive commentary by both award-winning writer John Grant and the artist herself. Anne Sudworth presented her landmark exhibition 'Visions and Views' in 1993, devoted to her more imaginative and fantastical works. The triumph of this exhibition led her to devote her energies almost exclusively to fantasy and now, while continuing to display her work to great acclaim in orthodox galleries, she shows also with equal success at fantasy and science-fiction conventions. John Grant is the author of Encyclopaedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters. Technical Editor of the Clute/Nicholls' Encyclopaedia of Science Fiction (for which he shared a rare BSFA Special Award), co-editor with John Clute of The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and co-author with Ron Tiner of The Encyclopaedia of Fantasy and Science Fiction Art Techniques.

John Gould (1804-1881) fue el artista ornitológico más prolífico del siglo xix y el único equiparable a John James en ambición y calidad. Gould compartió el entusiasmo romántico de su época por las aves, asi como el delirio por clasificarlas, y unio su pasion por la historia natural con sus dotes cientificas, artisticas y empresariales. Gracias a sus conocimientos, se embarco en una serie de proyectos que lo convirtieron en el principal editor de ilustraciones ornitologicas de la Inglaterra victoriana. La carrera sin igual de Gould abarco cinco decadas, en las cuales produjo una serie de libros con dibujos de aves de todo el mundo. Las deslumbrantes ilustraciones de Monograph of the Ramphastidae, or Family of Toucans (Monografia de los ranfastidos, o la familia de los tucanes) suelen considerarse sus obras mas espectaculares. La increible gama de colores vivos negro satinado y vibrantes rojos, amarillos y naranjas ofrece una sensacion de animacion sin precedentes. Representadas sobre un fondo neutro, las aves, grandes y fascinantes, parecen proyectarse fuera de la pagina. Los tucanes de Gould parecen estar vivos, no son meras representaciones en dos dimensiones. La inspiracion para dibujar tucanes le vino cuando, trabajando en Birds of Europe (Las aves de Europa), quedo fascinado por la coleccion de tucanes de un colega ornitologo. Viajo varias veces a los museos centroeuropeos en busca de material para su nuevo libro y, tras publicar la primera edicion, redibujo algunas laminas y añadio 20 nuevas a la segunda edicion revisada y ampliada. Todas ellas estan incluidas en este libro.

In 1998, TASCHEN introduced the world to the masterful art of Touko Laaksonen with The Art of Pleasure. Prior to that, Laaksonen, better known as Tom of Finland, enjoyed an intense cult following in the international gay community but was largely unknown to the broader audience. The Art of Pleasure gave Tom well-deserved recognition and increased his following exponentially; Tom of Finland XXL will fix him forever in the realm of fine art. At 29cm x 40.5cm and 666 pages, Tom of Finland XXL contains over 1,000 images, covering six decades of the artist''s career. The work was gathered from collections across the US and Europe with the help of the Tom of Finland Foundation, and features many drawings, paintings and sketches never previously reproduced. Other images have only been seen out of context and are presented here in the sequential order Tom intended for full artistic appreciation and erotic impact. This elegant oversized volume showcases the full range of Tom''s talent, from sensitive portraits to frank sexual pleasure to tender expressions of love and haunting tributes to young men struck down by AIDS. Completing this collector''s edition are eight specially commissioned essays on Tom''s social and personal impact by Camille Paglia, John Waters, Armistead Maupin, Todd Oldham, and others, plus a scholarly analysis of individual drawings by art historian Edward Lucie-Smith. For the manor womanwho thinks bigger is better, Tom of Finland XXL is certain to satisfy.
