These sequential
construction drawings of a "Little Wolf-Hunter Pig" were created by
Preston Blair as illustrations for his animation instruction book
published by Warren T. Foster in 1994. They were published on pages 42
and 43 in the Character Development chapter of the book and titled
"Little Wolf-Hunter Pig" with instructions for drawing the figure. The
hand-lettered text with the art does not appear with the published
drawings. Cartoon Animation was the final version of Mr. Blair's series
of books published in his lifetime. It is the most comprehensive edition
and incorporates material from previous editions along with new work.
