The Animator’s Workbook : Step-By-Step Techniques of Drawn Animation

Tony White, 1988

This book is mainly for hand-drawn cel animation, but many ideas can be applied to 3D computing. It has many example drawings to perform head turns, walks, runs, takes and double-takes, sneaks and staggers, adding weight and overlapping action. Later, it covers flying bird and four-legged animals, lipsync, and visual effects like wind, water and fire. It also has a chapter on background art.
