Books (what can you recommend?)

My school's (University of California) art library was able to get Don Bluth's Animation Drawing book at my request. : D But I haven't really got to browse it. : (

Thanks for the link. I love getting books to help me in the learning process. I have been wanting Don's two books for a while but I am having trouble fininding them where they do not cost me an arm and a leg. I did have them ordered for Books_A_Million just to find out three weeks later that they could not get them. So if any one know where I could pick them up for a reasonable price please let me know.

I think Andrew Loomis' Books are very helpful when it comes to Figure Drawing.

He's kind of the go to guy for Comic Book Artists, since his Style and Teaching is directed more to Illustrators than Animators(even though they're also on the Disney recommended reading list) but still, i think they're easy to understand and full of information.

Best thing: since the books are out of print and the Loomis family have no interest to reprint them, they're available for free as PDF's: http://alexhays.com/loomis/

Thanks Dragontoad! I've been looking for that book "figure drawing for all its worth" for a long time.
