Concept sketch previously paperbacked by Poster Mountain for a client, then subsequently sold at auction and brought back by new owner to have additional restoration performed.
vintage Disney animation production drawing of a character in a mine setting, likely related to the mine sequence in the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). The drawing is in graphite on animation paper, characteristic of the work done by artists during the production of classic hand-drawn animation.
Artwork Details
Medium: The artwork is a production drawing in graphite pencil on animation paper.
Film Context: The mine setting and the style of the drawing strongly suggest a scene from the dwarfs' mine in Disney's first animated feature film.
Production Process: This type of drawing was an intermediate step in the animation process. Animators created thousands of these drawings which were then traced onto celluloid sheets (cels) and painted by the ink and paint department to create the final film frames. |
