Drawing Stick Figures in FlipBook!

This tutorial is done by Jason Ryan. Jason has been a supervising animator (3D) at Disney and then DreamWorks for the last 15 years or so. In this demo he shows how he draws stick figure characters in FlipBook first to help him workout the animation. Once he's happy with the animation he loads the FlipBook movie into Maya and uses it for reference as he poses his 3D characters.

In this demo Jason uses the page up and page down keys to move quickly back and forth between his previous and his next drawing. You can also use FlipBook's onion skin feature to see both drawings at the same time if you prefer.

Enjoy the demo!
