Owls | Sleeping Beauty | Marc Davis study

Description

Another study today. It's funny, I've never, ever tried to draw disney characters before. I love the stylization of this film from the character design of Marc Davis (Nine Old Men fame) to the scenic paintings of Eyvind Earle. Just beautiful stuff!

Last night on Pinterest, this model sheet of owls caught my eye and decided to give them a try. The Owl on the left took me ages (well, an hour or two til finishe)  but once I got him down, the other on the right took about 10 minutes. 

Yup, practice, practice practice.

So the step seem to be developing like so:

1. Sketches - 10 to 20 minutes

2. Cleanup in Adobe Illustrator. I used a standard (I believe) grunge brush for the line work to keep the feel of a slightly rough sketch and the films of that particular era started to have that "sketchy" feel, like the Aristocats.

3. Post it for hopefully your viewing pleasure.

4. Repeat process as often as possible.Side Note: Something kinda cool happened today. After tweeting my earlier post, "Witch Hazel," Chuck Jones' actual grandson started following me. I know, I am a dork. 

Cheers!

Jonathan

I thought it was a comparison of the owl and Archimedes from The Sword In The Stone. 😁😅
