Seperated out the Tarzan stuff from my recent sketchbook for closer looks. For the very few people following me that like the Tarzan stuff hahaha. I totally and utterly goofed on Jane’s hand in the third to last picture. Drew Tarzan’s hand at the wrong andle too dark too early so oop. Oh well. Including a convoluted method for background drawing because my intution is NOT good enough to eyeball it.
Also a couple of these are style studies of Glen Keane sketches. I seldom recommend learning to draw by drawing things other artists have made. Real life or photography are much more consistent teachers. But GK’s character design drawings were meant to be mimicked. Not by me of course… by other Disney animators.. Mimicking other artists is only a good learning tool if you know what specific aspect you’re attempting to capture. For me here (other that just to draw Tarzan fan art) It’s to gain more of an eye for dynamicism and purposeful exaggeration.
No idea why I felt the need to babble on here oof.
The rest of this picture will be some pretty intense background practice but I wanted to pause and smile about the charactera. I always wanted to be able to emulate Disney. I think I’m getting close.
Got way too excited rewatching this movie and now I’m obsessing over character model sheets oops. So here are some weird creepy redraws of our sweet ape boi.
