Tarzan rough animation

#throwbackthursday ! Been finding old #artwork and #animation from my early days as an #animator at #disney! One of my first scenes as an animator. So long ago! This scene had a 15 foot panning background. I remember sitting there with it spread out in the hallway trying to recalculate the pegs so that I could animate this as a cycle and not across the 15 feet as it was originally laid out. #predigital #oldschool #tarzan #roughanimation #handdrawn #disneydays ! #2d #2danimation #samanthayoussef #samanthasketches #drawing #disneyanimator #disneyanimators #disneyanimation #youngtarzan #tarzan #littletarzan #sonofman #philcollins @officialphilcollins

Academic Study

Since I’ve been sifting through some archives I thought I’d share some old academic studies of facial features I had done a couple years ago.

Pris

My scribble of Pris from the original Bladerunner movie. Was watching Bladerunner on the plane from London, and sketching on the back of the inflight menu since my sketchbook was out of reach due to meal tray obstruction!

Inspirational Series

Sneak preview of a project with @kbsmontreal and @vanhouttecoffee that I had a wonderful privilege to participate in! So excited to be part of this inspiring work! I can’t wait to see the final result and share it! Thank you Sarah @hoidz for the opportunity! #behindthescenes #comingsoon #artistinterview
