As suggested by Bobby Chiu, I just did a quick painting exercise in the style of one of my favorite artist Nate Wragg. Well it is pretty much a copy of one of his paintings. The grey background was just to avoid working on white but in retrospect white could have been better ;-) Ah I will have to learn colour harmony one day… how/where to start?

Listening to the Ken Duncan’s interview on the Animation Podcast I remembered those great comic strips from Begian author Franquin. I still can’t believe Gaston Lagaffe is more than 50 years old! No wonder Gaston’s car was a 1925 Fiat 509. […] Read more

Milt Kahl is my favourite Nine Old man. I really respond to his strong poses, eye for detail, sense of observation and draftmanship. People who can draw like him are really really rare.

I just love the sheer wackiness of Ward Kimball.
Director:
“The duck goes out to the right and comes in to the left, you can’t do that, that’s not logical, you need to have those tie ups, it has to make sense”
Ward:
“Look… who cares! That gives it it’s flavour, it’s craziness”
Here is the Disney Family album Ward Kimball special
