Another watercolor study of Lilo and Stitch I did last year.It always fascinates me how subtle as well as bold you can be when applying watercolors.Brings back fun memories from a film that has the chance to become a class...

Here are a few more of Frank Thomas' rough character layouts for the second half of the scene. The sketch above establishes the size relationship between Hook and Smee.Hook anticipates a reach toward the bewildered Smee.He then extends his arm to get a hold of Smee.Hook reacts to the crows nest announcement that Peter Pan is approaching. His attention now lees with Smee, instead he is processing what he just heard.He then drops Smee , turns...

What a terrific photostat!The actors are Hans Conried as Hook and Don Barcley as Mr Smee.This is an absolutely crazy scene. Smee believes that he cut off Hook's head while giving him a shave. Then, when he finds the head under the chair, he tries to pick it up while informing Hook's body toward screen right about his luck. Character animation doesn't get any better than this! This stuff is right up there with Chaplin and Marcel Marceau. A nutty...

It has been a long time since I posted any wildlife art from the great Swiss painter Fritz Hug.Here is the link to my first post on him:http://andreasdeja.blogspot.com/search?q=fritz+hugThese charming spot illustrations were published in the 1966 book "Tiere, meine taeglichen Gefaehrten" (Animals, my daily Companions).The technique is brush and ink, and I see a combination of confidence and carefully observed subtleties. There isn't an animal he...

There aren't many people I recognize in this casual setting. In the back is Milt Kahl, arms raised, in the center smiles Ollie Johnston, arms crossed, and I believe Ken Anderson sits on the right with his head half obscured by someone else. (Perhaps Floyd Norman can identify the rest.)The boards show Anderson's designs for King Louie and Baloo, dressed in drag disguise. So the voice artists being recorded that day might have been Louis Prima...

I would really like to know who the Disney story artist is who was responsible for the beautiful sketch above and the storyboard below. The style with its rendered characters looks familiar, I believe it is someone, who only worked on Disney's Golden Age features before leaving the studio.I can't get over the expressive poses, appealing and beautifully staged. Animators like Norm Ferguson were smart enough to take advantage of this great material...

To many Marie, Berlioz and Toulouse might not be considered classic Disney characters, but when The Aristocats premiered way back, the film was enthusiastically received, particularly in Europe.I understand that by now Marie has become quite the star in Japan.Ken Anderson did tons of exploratory drawings of the kittens. These color sketches give you an idea about his process, and how he tried to differentiate the three from each other through proportions,...
