I’ve probably mentioned this before: I remember getting my Tarzan book signed by Glen, and asking him to write something to inspire me. I thought I caught him off guard when he decided to write, “If it’s comes too easy you’re doing something wrong”. It’s been one of those thoughts ingrained in me ever since. Of course…I also spoke to Walt Peregoy about his art and approach. He didn’t contradict that. But, he said basically ‘just draw’. Much of his work wasn’t planned or over-thought, but spontaneous. I think when you’re very experienced that idea makes even more sense-trust yourself. Anyway, you can see Glen applying those ideas right here in this “pencil test”. -Waveybrain
And here’s a fun clip about Glen Keane’s process for improving the animation on Tangled. He would draw over the shot as a reference for the animators so they could push the animation to be as good as it can be.
