A Tribute to Glen Keane
There is a great tribute to Glen Keane doing the rounds at the moment and thought that I would share it with you all on my blog.
What an amazing animator he was at Disney and will always be remembered for such memorable characters such as Ariel, the Beast and Tarzan. His drawings and style were always so structured and very classical, very reminiscent of the the old renaissance artists. Powerful and well posed, he really was the something different within Disney Animation.
In directing 'Tangled' he really pushed his style of designing and animating through into the final film. His structure and animation were visible and is a sign that he was constantly improving his art and therefore pushing the boundaries of what animation could be.
I feel that in leaving Disney he will be able to push himself further and develop things that we've never seen before. Bring it on!

The Work of Sandro Cleuzo
Thought I would share some work from one of my favourite animator/illustrators Sandro Cleuzo. I think I stumbled across his blog sometime a couple of years back and have been an avid viewer ever since.
The characters he designs use the grand old technique of Milt Kahl with his straights on curves yet he seems to pull away from this ideal with very broad expressions adding a sort of slapstick cartoony effect. His creations seem to cry out to be animated and they are so full of personality and life that they seem to live and breath right there on the page.
As for his animation well thats a whole new ball game. The thing that I would point out the most is the imagination and use of poses. Below is a walk cycle of his I found a while ago and just the manner in which the archer moves is totally unique and neatly thought out. Just that quick double bounce tells you so much about what he is like, happy, free spirited and maybe slightly naive.
As you've probably guessed I'm an avid fan and will definitely be posting more about him when I find new things. Head over to his blog now at http://inspectorcleuzo.blogspot.co.uk/ to find out more and look through his character back catalogue. He also has a great feature on there called 'Milt Kahl Day' in which he post beautiful drawings of the master of animation. It has sadly been missing for a while but there are tons of previous posts holding a wealth of information. So go get 'em!
