Animate your own cartoon stories with 6 flip books and pro lessons
Creating smooth animation comes down to understanding movement timing and how many drawings you need between key poses. These six flip books give you the blank pages to practice that skill, with cartoonist Matthew Luhn's included lesson walking you through the fundamentals that professional animators use. Each book provides enough pages to test different frame rates and timing approaches, essential for figuring out whether your bouncing ball needs three drawings or eight between positions.
The compact format fits comfortably in your hand while you test the flip, letting you immediately see whether your spacing creates fluid motion or awkward jumps. This immediate feedback loop, draw, flip, adjust, teaches animation principles faster than digital timelines because you're physically manipulating the frames. Students grasp concepts like ease-in and ease-out more intuitively when they can literally feel the rhythm in their hands.
Six books mean six separate experiments or one longer sequence broken into manageable segments. Work through Luhn's exercises to understand the basics, then apply those principles to your own character movements, camera pans, or morphing shapes. Whether you're teaching animation fundamentals or exploring frame-by-frame storytelling for yourself, these books provide the essential tool: blank pages ready for sequential drawing.
