} | Composing Pictures by Donald W. Graham PDF |
Update (May 14, 2010) – The Composing Pictures PDF is back up for a limited time. I’ve had a lot of requests to put it back up as the new print doesn’t seem to be coming out. I will keep it here until the new print comes out, and then I must remove it. Please see last update below. You can download a copy here. You’ll need WinRar to unzip it.
Update (Jan 12, 2009) – The Composing Pictures PDF has been removed. It will be re-printed soon, so I have removed it to avoid any copyright infringement. You can purchase the new print here.
Update (June 1, 2010) - Please refer to this post. For more information on the new print, go here.

Alright, enough with the insanity. One chapter every week or so, stretched out over who knows how long. When will it end?!
How about now? So here it is, the entire book, Don Graham’s, Composing Pictures, in one humongous PDF. I hope you all enjoy it, and get as much use out of it as I have. It took a long time, and a lot of effort to put this together and share with everyone, and I’m tired now. I’ve included the last five chapters in here, why drag it out any longer? It’s become a bit of a distraction now, and I’d rather animate. Take the opportunity to download it while you can, as I don’t know if posting this is allowed, and it will be removed as soon as anyone asks me to. I just figured since it’s out of print, and hard to come by, I would share.

I tested both the full book PDF and the individual chapter PDFs and those work fine for me. I don’t know what it could be, but I suspect it’s something on your end. Anyone else having problems with those files?

Dan, this AND the Famous Artist Course?!? Thank you so much for your kindness and diligence in scanning (and sharing) all of this classic text! I have never had opportunity to see these books ‘in the flesh’ so to speak, and to have access to them is wonderful. Thank you and I hope that 2010 is a wonderful year for you.

I don’t know if they actually reprinted the book or not. I had it on pre-order on Amazon, and I just now get a message saying it’s “undeliverable”. When I checked Amazon, it says the newest edition is ‘out of print’?? wtf? Guess I’ll have to do a free download somewhere.

Is this the same Don Graham that taught the Animators at Disney?
