Tuesday Tips - Inspirations Batman: Animated (the book) Probably the first non-Disney art book to make a lasting impression on me. As a teenager/young adult, it completely changed the way I would approach and appreciate animated art. It made me realize early on that “less is more”. At that point in my art education, I would be amazed by anything Disney, but it was so sophisticated in its use of every animation principles and unmatched talents, that my brain couldn’t “see” the process. Batman animated was different. I could “see” the shapes and the use of contrast and color choices. The book swung open the doors to the inner workings of an animated project for me. It solidified my decision to work in animation an made me a lifelong fan of anything Bruce Timm / Paul Dini / Darwyn Cooke / Shane Glines / etc. Buy this book! Now. -Norm

I remember asking my parents "how do they do that?!" Once they told me that every bit of it was drawn by real people, I simply never stopped drawing on my own.
