In part 2 of the interview, we get into the nitty gritty of 2D traditional animation. Don talks about the times he got to watch the Great Milt Kahl animate. Don also mentioned how Frank Thomas explained to him how to show weight in your characters when animating! For the second segment of the Podcast I had the pleasure of interviewing webcomic creator / illustrator Onezumi Hartstein and her partner in crime, web developer James Harknell. Onezumi (Oni for short) lives in New Jersey, loves Heavy Metal, and Disney World. She writes and draws the web comic Stupid and Insane Defenders Against Chaos.Oni is one of the most active contributors to and supporter of the webcomics scene:
Minions! Last time I showed you how I draw a pretty pin up girl.This time I’m going the opposite direction and showing you how I draw a big ugly Incredible Hulk! I came a cross this old Disney Studios Employee Handbook from 1938! It’s a brief outline of the Studio’s principal departments and an explanation to artists of its employment policies! The drawings are all from production drawings!
My time at Rowland Animation School taught me the most valuable lessons of my life! It really has helped me along in my career as a professional animator and cartoonist! Although it was tough work I had a blast and got to make some very dear friends in the process!
