What I Drew Saturday, Oct 2 - Disney Parks

 Day No. 2

After a distracted first day on this project, I jumped in earnestly for a productive day of sketches. How many pages would I complete I wondered. After two sketches I realized two things: 1) this is going to take some time to fill up this book with 50 sketches; 2) I’m going to be drawing a lot thing that nobody has ask for, like Liberty Square.

#4, pp. 8-9 - Marvel Characters / (in) the Magic Kingdom: @motheroffreels / Jeff S.

(L-R) Teen Groot, Nebula, Captain Marvel, T’Challa and Kate Bishop. Staying away from the main six Avengers, I selected these characters to go on a first-time visit to the Magic Kingdom,and casting Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) as the returning, defect leader.

2x hidden Mickeys.

#5, pp. 10-11 - Han and Leia taking little Ben / just strolling the park!: Nicole P. / @harishas.art.

Second to Main Street, U.S.A., where in the Magic Kingdom is a nice place to stroll? I chose Liberty Square.

#6, pp. 12-13 - Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps / on Tower of Terror: @ani8tor57 / @realmarkd

Having drawn characters sitting in a falling box before, here I chose to depict them waiting outside the elevator door. This is a big part of the attraction experience: waiting.

#7, pp. 14-15 - (L-R) Dizzy, Celia, Uma, C.J. Hook, Freddie, Mal and Evie / at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique: @harishas.art / @alltookayleigh

Also known as the Villains Kids (VK), I choose to fill the space with seven figures (mostly heads, yes) with no details of the boutique’s interior.

#8, pp. 16-17 - Kenai and Koda / on the teacups: @anek.arts001 / @alltookayleigh

These two are from Brother Bear. 

To the left is Merida from Brave.

2x hidden Mickeys.

#9, pp. 18-19 - The Swamp Boys with Louis / on top of the Pirates ride sign / Pin trading : @swampboyes / @nikkistar5394 / Abigail R.

Finally, a mix-up suggestion with all three categories: characters, Disney Parks thing and embellishment.

I’m not sure if the ”Swamp Boys” were just the trio of alligators from the America Sings attraction formerly at Disneyland, or if it also included the raccoon and singing bullfrogs.

This fulfills my way of sneaking in a baby oyster (Alice in Wonderland) into a big Disney art project.

5x hidden Mickeys.

What I Drew Friday, Oct 1 - Disney Parks

Day 1.

I’ll be keeping thing brief with these daily accounts as I endeavor to fill a Disneyland autograph book with 50 sketches. Each sketch being an improv-style mix up of characters, Disney Park thing and other embellishments.

#1, pp. 2-3 - Goofy / visiting Be Our Guest Restaurant: @the_kira_diaries / @nikkistar5394

Lumiere added as a server and to underscore the restaurant’s Beauty and the Beast theme.

That’s one of the restaurant’s dessert menu item.

2x hidden Mickeys.

#2, pp. 4-5 - Vidia and Bolt / stacking themselves to try to meet height requirement for a ride: Nicole P. / Abigail R.

Vidia in on oof Tinker Bell’s fairy friends.

The “stacking” suggestions had originally been pitched with the Aristo-kitties.

The attraction here is The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

3x hidden mickeys.

#3, pp. 6-7 - The Princess and the Frog characters and Br’er Rabbit / (going) "around the world" at Epcot: @caitlinfogartyart / @the_kira_diaries

I figured that these characters from the American South would enjoy sitting a spell in the France Pavilion during this food & wine festival.

3x hidden Mickeys.

For those of you following along, you may spot a few suggester names that will repeated pop up. Well, there wasn’t any rule against pitching multiple suggestions.
