About Me
- Prof. Drew Tolman
- This blog is for my students, interns and all students of animation. Enjoy!
Teaching Philosophy
One of Chuck Jones' first instructor's told his class: 'All of you have one hundred thousand bad drawings in you. The sooner you get rid of them, the better it will be for everyone.'" The heart of teaching creativity is to direct, critique and refine the student's strengths and talents as they move in the direction of their dreams. In the competitive film industry, there are no openings for mediocre. A professional artist is an amateur who didn't quit.
