I do not think I can list all of the related areas of Art. Like pencil sketching. Perspective projection. Isometric projection. There is something like technical engineering drawing but I am unsure whether that helps for learning animation and stuffs. I would love any feedback. I am basically planning to collect some books instead of joining on site training institutes in Kathmandu which are expensive and worthless.
This is not a book for animation fans, it's a book for animators explaining how to do it. I first saw it mentioned in Byte magazine in the 1980s because they thought it gave insight into user interface design.
