I WANT TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL ANIMATION ARTIST .

Hello,

This book is amazing and has loads of excellent advice:

Generally If you are going to self teach, I would suggest experimenting and animating as much as possible and study well known animators. Pick a style that you like and analyse every frame and see how people have achieved success in the past.

It also helps to draw a lot of sketches from life. I regularly study people around me and draw quick sketches documenting their movements.

Just for starters…

Good luck
