Visual Communication - The process of creating drawings to tell a story. / Russ Edmonds

This video tutorial is about visual communication, which is telling a story in one drawing. This is about opening up your mind, finding a story situation, and creating drawings for a story. In this video, I sketch live animals, have a brainstorming session, and then create finished drawings for inspiration that could be used in an animation project.

Learn from a traditional Disney Animator how to observe, understand, sketch, and animate.

Understand animal anatomy and then take an in-depth look at Russ’ animation process.
