It's made of some exotic wood and it's very useful to note it's not a course about table, but I'd like to show you some resources that could be useful. The first one is obviously the Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams. This is a classic, I guess all the animators have this book in their shelves. And to be perfectly honest, it doesn't get old. You will find in there are tons of lessons about the principles of animation and so many drawings that are still used to this date to teach animation. It also comes with lots of stories about animation a few decades ago. Definitely a must have. The next book, which is one of my favorite, is Drone to Life by Walt Stenchfield. This is a book that was recommended to me by my animation mentor Jeremy Collins. And while it's mostly focused on drawing, everything in there is applicable to animation, especially when it comes to staging and creating great poses. The last book I'd like to advise is a classic. It's The Illusion of Life from Frank Thomas and Oli Johnston. Beyond the educational content, it's fascinating to learn stories about Disney, the studio that has almost created animation. While you don't need those books, I do believe that having them and reading them will really help you to dive into the art of animation. There are tons of quality books about animation and drawing and it's always good to get a step back from the screen and take a good book and chill. I'd like to recommend you also a YouTube video by Alan Baker about the 12 principles of animation. It has more than 8 million views and this is definitely because it's one of the best videos about the 12th principle of animation. It's short, super well illustrated and explained a must watch. And finally, I truly advise you to use Sync Sketch. Sync Sketch is an online media player that allows you to read almost every video format and allows you to draw on screen, to leave notes and to create reviews and share them. Definitely one of the best platforms to share your reviews or get feedback from other animators. This is the tool I use every day for all my reviews and also in this course whenever I'm analyzing any reference. If you are looking for an offline solution, I advise you Keyframe Pro media player. You can get a free version of it. There is also a paid version of it with additional functionalities. But personally, I prefer to use a sync sketch.",
