My book – Julia PEGUET

My book

I’ve always had with me a notebook where I jot down everything I learn or discover throughout my career as a professional animator. This personal notebook became an actual book – that you can buy in a shop and everything! All my knowledge is shared in “Secrets of an Animator”, published by Pyramyd and you can click here to have it all for yourself forever.

I’ve been an animator for 10 years and I have learned a lot anyway […] the learning points are really precise and Julia explains them in an easy-to-understand, really educational way. A book to keep next to Richard Williams’ one

"I’ve been an animator for 10 years and I have learned a lot anyway […] the learning points are really precise and Julia explains them in an easy-to-understand, really educational way. A book to keep next to Richard Williams’ one" Mathieu, animator

"This book is just as useful for animators working with drawing or 3D" Aurélie, animator

"Julia Peguet shares with a rare generosity […] theoretical aspects, exercises (and their corrections) and tricks of the trade, that are obviously rooted in experience and an extensive skill set" Jean-Christophe, animation blogger

"The photos and illustrations are fabulous!" Dennis, reader

"This book is the first one in a very long time that I find much more interesting than what already exists on the market. I highly recommend it to all my animation students" Erik Goulet, Concordia University

"A constant intellectual satisfaction […] I think this is THE book I had been waiting for" Emilie, reader
