ABSTRACT
As for fi nished drawing as opposed to sketching — there is a place and a need for both, and every artist at Disney Studios should be adept at both. Since more time has been spent on fi nal drawings than on roughs, I have been trying to get everyone in the evening (and day) classes to loosen up. These sessions afford an opportunity to fashion your own personal gestures, rather than cleaning up another’s work. Approaching gesture drawing with a cleanup concept is an extremely diffi cult thing to pull off. That is why I use all the underhanded tactics available to get everyone to untether and run free — this is a time to stretch! This is an opportunity to exaggerate, to push beyond the old limits.
