Visiting Animation Colleges

/

I have recently returned from having such a great time talking about drawing, posing, and animation at Seneca College, Humber College, and Sheridan College.  Thank you so much to the faculty who invited me to participate and talk about my drawing syllabus and my book, Movement & Form. It was wonderful to see my past teachers who have been so influential to me, old students of mine and as well new friends and artists.  More photos to come soon!
