To back it up, Kricfalusi, the animator and instigator responsible for the brilliantly demented Ren and Stimpy cartoons, among other things, proceeds to take you through his course in 10 pages, with the assistance of supplied materials like pages from Preston Blair’s classic instruction book, his own model sheets for Ren and Stimpy, and model sheets from Disney, MGM and elsewhere. “You can go to animation school, spend a $100,000 and not learn a damn thing about the basics of good animation drawing- OR you can buy a Preston Blair book for $8 and learn it all in a couple months.

There are a multitude of resources here that will be the subjects of individual posts in the future, not the least of which are Preston Blair, Jon Kricfalusi and the Animation Archive itself, but I want to concentrate here on the “Drawing Course”, the premise of which is best summed up by Kricfalusi in his introduction:
There is so much great stuff here that this should be a site of its own, but it’s actually part of the terrific ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Project Blog. It should really be titled: “The $100,000 Animation Drawing Course for $8”. Wow! What an amazing treasure trove this is for anyone interested in animation or cartoon drawing.
