Glen Keane on drawing in three dimensions

page2.jpg

Mark Kennedy shares some scanned handouts from master Disney animator Glen Keane about drawing three dimensionally. Mark sez:

These say it all way better than I ever could. Again, this is an easy thing to get undisciplined about and let go. Nobody ever confronts you and says “hey, you stopped drawing three dimensionally, cut it out with all the flat drawing”. Like a lot of things in life, if we can get away with something, we will. People won’t usually go on a diet until their pants get too tight.

It’s actually part of a multi-part series of posts by Mark called A Kick in the Head. The first three parts:

  1. Silhouette Value
  2. Drawing with Appeal
  3. “Draw clear, not clean.”

It’s unclear how many kicks are in the series, but they’re all worth bookmarking and revisiting.

    Sigh… I wish we had been taught this sort of thing at my art school, but everyone was too busy pretending to be Fine Artists… students and teachers alike! Oh well – never too late to learn.

    I love Mark's website. It's one of the most informative sites I've found dealing with art, illustration, and animation. Great, great stuff from someone that really knows the ins and outs of the business.
