It has less color, but more kinds of walk cycles. The character models are closer to Disney and Warner Brothers originals, and he backed off those in the second edition. There's enough non-overlapping material to make both of them worth getting if you're into animation.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-84952218929244295222010-08-30T02:21:40.556-04:002010-08-30T02:21:40.556-04:00You are lucky to have that, Jussi!

I think I mostly just copied pictures out of them (which is what I did a lot of at the time) but I had a couple of the cartooning-type titles, and you're right, those weren't bad.Sarah Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534942492714970282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-68982752812481132532010-08-29T13:18:46.468-04:002010-08-29T13:18:46.468-04:00I believe the current edition of the Preston Blair...I believe the current edition of the Preston Blair book contains everything that was in both the Walter Foster books.<br /><br />The Norling perspective book probably contains the same material as the currently available Dover book called "Perspective Made Easy". This can be bought for peanuts and is in my opinion the best perspective guide for beginners.<br /><br />(I have a couple of dozen books on perspective to compare.)Don Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232752398252841794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-91956157428584342492010-08-29T11:38:00.470-04:002010-08-29T11:38:00.470-04:00Speaking of books/magazines, have you seen the lat...Speaking of books/magazines, have you seen the latest Sci-Am MIND magazine on Visual Perception?:<br />http://bit.ly/9ptCBgJames O'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056619916190483380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-79106073886910612252010-08-29T11:05:09.545-04:002010-08-29T11:05:09.545-04:00I own some of the Walter Foster books and they are...I own some of the Walter Foster books and they are very informative. I have a few on painting and drawing. I also have the complete Preston Blair book, Cartoon Animation. It's quite handy as it shows a lot about constructing a character, gesture, movement and composition.<br /><br />There have been some other nice volumes too that are now out of print. I have two such Walter Foster books - one on marker rendering and the other using felt pen with watercolor.Max Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403575167825914594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-24705659827730445702010-08-29T10:59:22.745-04:002010-08-29T10:59:22.745-04:00I love these books, have quite a few of them mysel...I love these books, have quite a few of them myself.Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939075727507075278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-63692622240542420092010-08-29T10:49:48.373-04:002010-08-29T10:49:48.373-04:00I learned a ton of stuff from various Foster books...I learned a ton of stuff from various Foster books, and even in some of the hokey ones there were gems.
