A Drawer of Aurora



In this sketchbook drawing of the Princess Aurora, I wanted to capture some of the design elements that legendary Disney animator and Imagineer Marc Davis put into his designs of the Princess. Perhaps most Disney fans haven’t picked this up when they visit the Parks and Disney Stores and see Aurora on sweat shirt and etc., but as a Consumer Products staff artist, I’m not called upon to draw Aurora like Mr. Davis did, but to go with a more flowing style and a fantastic, puffy skirt (glitter optional). For better or for worse.

That said, I feel that every once and while, it’s good to go back to the original stuff, if a bit humbling.
