OK. Let me get started again.... Continuing with some nice pencils of the Crows from Dumbo. One of the more interesting items is a sketch of the Crows with their names and mark up directions. My guess is that the names were added at a later time, but it does provide some insight as to the process of getting everyone's name correct...
From Wikipedia:
The crow characters in the film are in fact African-American caricatures; the leader crow voiced by Caucasian Cliff Edwards is officially named "Jim Crow". The other crows are voiced by African-American actors, all members of the Hall Johnson Choir.

These are wonderful, especially that first one - so lively, and you've got the whole group of crows. I find the notations and the slightly rougher quality much more interesting than completely cleaned up drawings.
ReplyDeleteHope those stem cells are doin' their thing!
I just can't get over your collection. I keep coming back and admiring these drawings.
ReplyDeleteTake good care of your health and take lots of time to recover. I'm going through my own hell now, and know how it feels.
