Drew Adams

Having Drew as my mentor for AN03 has been nothing short of amazing. He comes prepared with material and resources for each Q&A, and he is very clear with why he does what he does and his thought process while animating. I think that’s been very instrumental to my growth, and this course has made me fall in love with straight-ahead animation!

Drew is an excellent teacher who is super nice and my favorite thing about this term was to learn to construct my animation thinking 2D-wise thanks to Drew. I’m feeling much better about my animation this term.

Drew is a fantastic mentor. The critiques are incredibly detailed and he provides very useful demos in the live Q&A. He also responds to messages really quickly and goes out of his way to help us during the week if need be.

His passion for animation comes through in how he talks about animation whether it be in the Q&As or in his eCritiques. Really appreciate that he has us do the 2 shot schedule since I’ve had much more time to make sure my shots are fully polished. He’s very kind and patient with his critiques and I’ve always felt encouraged to work harder every week. He’s so nice that I even think he could be harsher with his comments and I wouldn’t be offended. Overall his class is so fun and I have loved it.

Drew has been the best mentor I’ve had at AM. He is attentive, direct and always prepared. I hope every mentor going forward has the teaching skills Drew has. Looking forward to taking his class again in the future.

Drew is hands down the best mentor I’ve had at AM. I passed his class the 1st time but his crits/demos/lectures were so incredibly packed with such great info, I felt like I didn’t retain it all..so I actually chose to take it a 2nd time & work with him again because I enjoyed the class & learned so much the 1st round. He goes above & beyond in so many ways. Allowing us to slow down & do a 2 shot schedule is what really helped me understand complicated body mechanics. Absolutely outstanding class.

I think that Drew goes above and beyond in all aspects. He provides very detailed critiques that help me understand how to think like a professional animator. In the weekly Q&As, Drew thoroughly answers all of our questions. He also provides us with in-depth demos, and even provides links to helpful resources and references. To me, it is clear that Drew does all he can to contribute to the success of his students.

The critiques are so clear and motivating! Overall the best mentor I’ve ever had in my animating career, both here at AM and also at college! Gives me hope to be at a major studio someday!
