The name 'Chuck Jones', according to my uncle, limited my choice of profession to second baseman or cartoonist.
Chuck JonesMark Twain's Roughing It is a book that many people don't know about, but I highly recommend to anybody at any age.
Chuck JonesEvery great artist must begin by learning to draw with the single line, and my advice to young animators is to learn how to live with that razor-sharp instrument or art. An artist who comes to me with eight or ten good drawings of the human figure in simple lines has a good chance of being hired. But I will tell the artist who comes with a bunch of drawings of Bugs Bunny to go back and learn how to draw the human body. An artist who knows that can learn how to draw ANYTHING, including Bugs Bunny.
