Interns were often offered the chance to sketch from models. I took every opportunity to step away from the animation table and observe from life. On this day we had a flamenco dancer posing. I did a whole series of painting on the cardboard that was used to separate scenes.
Once a week there were also painting opportunities. An now looking at the sketch I realize that this was a painting session. I didn’t have my oil paints, they were back in NYC, but I made sure to sketch. It must have been easy to get models since there were so many cast members in the theme parks who would jump at the opportunity.
The animation Halloween party was around the corner. I lamented not having supplies to build a decent costume. Animators tend to blow it out of the park when it comes to Halloween costumes.
This folded postcard was ripped open so fast that a large chunk of the sketch was ripped off in the process. I crudely repaired it with scotch tape which will yellow with time.
