I'm taking my first animation class this semester (in art school). It's amazing! and I'm really getting involved and interested in it. But I feel far behind most of the people in my class.
Are there any books I could buy that would help me to study technical animation skills? I am just begining the basic drawing for animation, but I'm planning on moving past this, so any book that has any animation information.
What are the best animators to study? ... or are just the BEST.
(i'm new to animation)
any other tips?
thanks!

there should be a library at your school that has animation books that will help you. watching animated cartoons help if you're on the visual side. movies like finding nemo, over the hedge, robots and etc have special features that show you tips. there are other ways, but these are at the top of my head. good luck!
