Here's an illustration that is in the works, the arm was behind the head trying to look like he's (I'm) running late but it ended up looking more like a fashion pose which I didn't want. So I may try snapping fingers or hold sheet music?

Th pin stripes on the overhauls will look better and simplify the drawing if the are in "light gray" instead of black. I'm really trying to keep this simple. Ha! I may add some halftones to add sparkle.................?

These are just traced from images I got off the internet.

After tracing these I think I have a much better idea how to draw these characters.

I didn't want to make them fancy or in my own style or anything, just the character we all love in a line drawing placed on stars.

These old posters are great, they show the power of color. Even if the characters are a little off model, bold color, composition and contrasting lettering are great design elements to keep your interest.

I love this old Donald Duck. Everything feels just right here.

This 80's Mickey is great, drawing front views of characters can be the most difficult drawings to pull off...well beside a 3/4 rear!

Again great color and wonderful how they got floating heads against the ocean musical stream...

This Pinocchio is just the angle and expression that I need for the final page in my book.

The work done here on the lettering here is so right on for the movie.

Amazing how life - like and child- like are these very loose drawings. They really were excited about what they were doing. At least they're work shows this excitement for me.

Primary colors work fairly well.

This pan looks to me like a sericel.
Walt Disney's Pinocchio clip art reference for a page in my book "Happiest Music on Accordion".

Walt Disney had the idea of Mickey Mouse but did not make actually draw the cartoons of Mickey and friends. He found the best draftsmen in the business from New York and paid them to bring his dreams to life.

Bob Clampett's mother made the very first Mickey Mouse doll. Bob Clampett almost worked for Disney but went to Warner Brothers instead. Bob Clampett, next to Tex Avery animated the wildest cartoons ever made.

Making a 3-d doll out of a cartoon character can be very difficult and time consuming but once you got the prototype approved, you can have many of them made. Do your best hire a designer and or a Toy Company or Doll Maker. This way you are getting someone who as already profession experience in that area.
