The way he captures the lines of action in the figure is too great. It's a shame the video is cut off, but that's just because I want more of his lovely drawings. :3
My character design professor, who worked with Disney for a time (and knows Glen Keane!!) showed the class this technique. It's super helpful and really works well when you're trying to keep a pose!
I’m really not sure what you guys are asking 🙄 you just saw the technique. 1. Free form gesture of pose, using line of action 2. Refine by constructing figure with simple masses 3. Refine again with detailed model (not shown)
The sign of a master, being able to scribble out a pose and then clean it up with flowing lines. It's incredible how his pencil just glides on the paper creating the lines me wants. I can't do anything even slightly close to that and it amazes me. Though in like 10 years, if i truly work hard, i'll get there
his pencil strokes are simply superhuman. he makes decisions in one stroke faster and more accurately than I can spending five minutes erasing and redrawing scratchy strokes to draw the same arms and legs.
This is why gesture drawing is so important for animators. Glen Keane is such a master at it. You get the feeling, energy and you can discard a drawing because it's not a finalize drawing. It's an important few seconds of scribble drawings
I use to know be fond of Glen Keanes style, back in the early 90's. Tho' of course the Tarzan sequences was so fluid and balladic, and nothing like it, I was more partial towards maintain physically accurate volumes. However, every since Over the Moon, I took another look at Keanes work. His exaggeration of squash and stretch across the whole human form is amazing. He throws the rule book out the window for the sake of expression. That I can relate to. A lot. He has mathematical precision but it never over rides feeling. So he's an Artist.
Thanks for the quick reply Akhizero! It makes complete sense to follow the flow of the gesture, but its kinda hard to know what to do without seeing it done. lol
OH MY LORD!! THIS IS AWESOME! In some way it helps me more so I can try and do it like that! xD Though I wonder how many papers do we need to actually animate the character (I'm new and I wanna start to animate cause Its my one long life dream :3)
Yeah animating is a lot of drawing. For example at Disney they work at 24 frames per second, so each second of animation in a movie is 24 individual drawings.
It makes complete sense to follow the flow of the gesture, but its kinda hard to know what exactly the difference is without seeing the rest of the video. lol Really cool stuff though! Thanks for the quick reply Akhizero!
his strokes are sooooooow eird, that is not i have seen other animators draw! O-o it's soooo quick, i say video of mark davis drawing in the 60's, and he drw with his hand on the paper
I know for a fact that when he went to paris (v studios Montreuil) to animate Tarzan around 1998-1999, all the animators were using Glen Keane's pencil , that was " DESIGN AND EBONY" From Sanford....you could have very dark shades as light ones...but it's not the pencil that will make you a Great sketch artist....it's your eye.... If you want a great book about drawing and animation, you should take a look at Walt Stanchfield "Life drawing", it's very useful and very helpful for self-education....Glen has been trained by this guy...sketching and gesture.....it's by far the best book I ever studied on...
@@minilamma4879 I think his producer introduced introduced him to the brand several years ago and he's mentioned it from time to time.

can somebody tells me, what sort of pencil is he using ? it's looks like charcoal, but i'm not sure .. By the way, i'm french, and I don't really understand what is "to tie down" (even with a dictionary ...)
This reply is VERY late but it's a design ebony pencil (I think) and to "tie down" something is to add extra details like muscles, hair, ect. so it's what he was doing at the end.
@Mage Animator No. He was only drawing gestures without specifying the drags; no facial expression, no definition on limbs it is a Very lose gesture that would not even pass for the roughest of roughs. It for sure would need a tiedown. If it was only a thumbnail or to express an idea to be approved and then start the real work it is good.

PLEASE SHOW US
It's been eight year ago, but please let us know if you can
@Peolacurei If you ever get a notification from this comment, we would love it if you shared the tecnique!
Maybe with a video?

i could watch this man draw lines for hours

His lines are gorgeous. I am super envious! Such a talented, TALENTED man! Auugh, love him!
Just saying, it’s skill, not talent, nobody is born that good at anything o.o

Though I do think they're for a 2D "look" with Rapunzel. Still nice to know that PatF hasn't been taken off the slate.
This feels like watching Raphael or Michelangelo at work no joke.

Where has traditional animation gone? 💔✏️
Just assume.... Very amazing...
Around. A lot of animators I've spoken to has recommended it.

@ch3ls3a81 draw with him at the same pace and don't worry if you don't finish. makes for great practice
his strokes are sooooooow eird, that is not i have seen other animators draw! O-o
it's soooo quick, i say video of mark davis drawing in the 60's, and he drw with his hand on the paper
This us very beautiful
I actually found myself about the pencil (five comments below .. sorry) but i'm still searching about the expression
he is probably using an ebony pencil, but i can't be certain
budco29 As of recent, he used a 10B Mutshibishi pencil for Duet.
I know for a fact that when he went to paris (v studios Montreuil) to animate Tarzan around 1998-1999, all the animators were using Glen Keane's pencil , that was " DESIGN AND EBONY" From Sanford....you could have very dark shades as light ones...but it's not the pencil that will make you a Great sketch artist....it's your eye....

So... What's the other approach?
Try using a softer lead, or prismacolors.
I'm new to animation, but I know a bit about transfers
Its been 10 years, I hope your still doing animation!
It’s been 14 years, you better still be doing animation
what paper are they using? thats really cool
Its all about how lose you hold the pencil. Glens the man hope he gets out Rapunzel!!! GO GLEN!!!!!
Wow, Repunzel (Tangled) wasn't even out yet when you wrote this. Time goes by fast.
Where have you hurd this name?
he's good but sadly i think was taken of the disney rapunzel project due 2010
anybody know what pencil he's using?
its a little hard to tell what he's using here, but his favourite pencil to animate with for the last few years is the Mitsubishi Hi-Uni 10B

@monsteraaron I actually agree with this. The forms and the acting is still great, but the lines swim all over the place.
I don’t mean to brag but I can draw a perfect Stickman on my forehead without a mirror 😂
lol that looks like disney's tarzan
