Hans Perk got a blog!

I´m not really here too much as you might have noticed, but this is really something.

Hans Perk is one of those people that really cares about animation and I mean all aspects of animation.

I remember a long time ago, A-film got a couple of seqences on a feature film from another studio and for some reason this studio were using a different peg system.
The second Hans saw this new peg-bar he picked it up like it was something really special and said “ This is the same peg system that they used at Disney in the old days.” Everybody looked at him like ´so what? It´s just a peg-bar!´, but Hans just went over to one of his big piles of paper and from way down at the bottom he pulled a large brown envelope. In it were seven original Frank Thomas drawings from “The Rescuers”.
I don´t think anybody knew that there was original Frank Thomas drawings in the studio, so now he had everybody´s attention.
He put the seven drawings on the new peg-bar and fliped the drawings with his thumb from the very top of the paper so we could see the animation.
One of the other A-film owners wanted to flip the scene by rolling the drawings forth and back to better see what was going on, but Hans went “STOP, YOU´LL RUIN IT!”
He pointed to some very faint flip-marks on the left side of the paper “THOSE ARE ORIGINAL FRANK THOMAS FLIP-MARKS!!”

So there you go. Hans cares about animation. He cares about who sat in what office at Hyperion Ave. He cares about who did the most precise bar-sheets for the Silly Symphonys and he cares about original flip-marks.
He got a ton of stuff you never knew existed and now he is putting some of it on his blog.
I think that if we all bug him a little, he might show us some stunning Frank Thomas drawings some day, or we can ask him if it´s true that Ken Anderson did ten or so inspirational drawings for an A-film project 20 years ago and if he still got those drawings lying around someplace. ( I think he still got them).

Anyway. Go say hallo. He is here.

FAN ART.

I can´t draw like Pierre Alary at all, but that is not gonna stop me from trying.

I really like his drawings. Especially the way he draws faces and his ink line is so precise.

But fan art is fan art and not the real thing, so go to the blog of Pierre Alary for some real art.

It is here.

Today, a bit of color and not much else.

2006-01-16T06:15:00.000-08:00

Heinrich Kley

First of all.

I have added a link to Heinrich Kley in the side-bar.

Hans Bacher mentioned Kley in his last post and Harald Siepermann have

mentioned Kley a few times, but they did not link to his gallery, so that gives

me the opportunity to do so.

This guy is just flat out amazing, so click it!

Secondly.

I have added a link to a page with a lot of classic illustrators.

There is a ton of great art in there.

Some of the artists featured are.

T. S. Sullivant which Bacher also mentioned in his last post.

Eduard Thony

Olaf Gulbransson

and a massive gallery of Herrimen´s Krazy Kat

and many, many more.

So, if you are sitting there waiting for you´r scene to render,

then go check it out.

Enjoy.

3d...something.

This head is to long or to slim

or both and , I know.

It has no eyes.

I have tried to complete it many times,

but I don´t have the energy.

This 3d stuff takes way to long and

I don´t have the patience to work out all

that technical BS.

Jakob wanted trees and bridger.

I don´t know, but I´m sure there´s a bridge

in there somewhere.

The trees will have to wait for a later date.

Live Ink

Here´s a test done with real ink and bruch.

There is still a long way to go, but the line looks better. No more tractor.

2006-01-04T03:37:00.000-08:00

First Test

Rune told me that I should try and ink my drawings, so this is my first attempt.
I did not have the stones to use a real brush and ink, so I
went with a pocket brush from Pentel.
BAD IDEA!
The line looks like I drew it while driving a tractor.

A couple of loose drawings will always be a couple of loose drawings,

no matter how much color you put on them.
