straightsagainstcurves: Daan Jippes’ Mickey Mouse drawings are the epitome of cartoon appeal. Daan is originally from Amsterdam and did many comic covers for Disney’s republishings of the Mickey, Donald, Uncle Scrooge, and Ducktales comic series through Gladstone in the 1980’s and 1990’s. This is just a small part of an amzing career in comics and animation. I was introduced to his work a few years back and ever since, I’ve used his series of Mickey drawings featured at the top as my “There’s so much yet to learn” reality check. Daan’s use of energy and line flow in his drawings demonstrate an incredible knowledge of draftsmanship and appeal. How your eyes travel through his drawings feel like butter melting melting down a stack of pancakes. The energy that he puts into his drawings truly makes the characters jump off of the page. His rounded shapes all work together in a bold and refreshing way. It may be treason to say, but I feel like Daan’s version of Mickey Mouse is a bit stronger than Floyd Gottfredson’s. While Floyd’s comics of Mickey are unbelievably appealing and demonstrate and amazing an incredible knowledge of draftsmanship, solidity, and appeal, I feel like Daan is taking what Floyd established and pushing the shapes and pliability in the characters just a tad farther. That being said, without Floyd’s Mickeys, there would be no Daan’s Mickeys. I hope these inspire you as much as they do me. Jippes is just too damn good for my words.straightsagainstcurves: Daan Jippes’ Mickey Mouse drawings are the epitome of cartoon appeal.

straightsagainstcurves: Of course no blog about animation design can go without a token post or two about Mary Blair. These costume variations are gorgeous and some of my favorites of her work. Mary’s addition of elegance to broad shapes and bold colors is what makes her work stand out from other artists in animation at the time. She would boil shapes down to a pure essence without screaming in your face “GRAPHIC!”. Her drawings have a playfulness and innocence that really taps into our inner child. Just because it looks simple doesn’t mean it’s easy. Mary’s style has left a huge wake amongst animation professionals and students. I’ve see some young artists that will try jumping straight to a graphic style without developing a strong knowledge base of drawing from life or a strong sense of draftsmanship and it shows in their work. An informed visual knowledge of the subject matter will inform the graphic shapes chosen. Mary’s strong classical training at Chouinard and early years at Disney gave her the tools to dive into a more graphic style. No matter how much influence of hers there has been over the years, there will always be just one Mary Blair.
