What I Drew Friday, Oct 8 - Disney Parks

Day No. 8

On this day, I made it past the half way through the book on my way towards 50. This is becoming a marathon. Trying to make up for yesterday’s two sketches, I drew four today to maintain a minimum average of three per day.

#24, pp. 48-49 - Peter Pan / at Ronto Roasters / carving pumpkins: Kinzey F. / Nicole P. / @herreriamon

There some joke to be made about the pumpkin innards that Peter has been tossing on the ground beneath him. Maybe that’s why the Mon Calamari kid is watching him?

How could I not make a “pumpkin Hook” pun?

4x hidden Mickeys.

#25, pp. 50-51 - Chip and Dale / pop up pin shop: Jeff S. / @vbehappy

Not considered “hidden” Mickeys are 1) the “Mickey” that Chip is playing at by holding two round pins over his head and 2) the Mickey on the 50 anniversary pin that Dale is holding.

The Daisy design is based on how she appears in the short “Donald’s Diary.”

2x hidden Mickeys.

#26, pp. 52-53 - Sadness & Joy / riding Maelstrom: @the_kira_diaries / Abigail R.

The way I see it, characters like Joy and Sadness don’t have physical bodies and therefore aren’t limited to any scale. Still, since the Pixar film, implies that they exist some where in Riley’s head, they’d have to be small. I depict them here atop the dragon figure head of the Maelstrom boat.

#27, pp. 54-55 - Joe Gardner / in the Haunted Mansion / struggling to cover his ears: Abigail R / @madesalvo / @the_kira_diaries

“Covering his ears” really directed the setting to something about the Haunted Mansion that might incite the reaction in Joe. Maybe all of the spirits in the seance played at the same time but not the same tune and not in the same key.

It was only while in the coloring stage did I consider the “soul” version of Joe in the mansion could have been interesting.

2x hidden Mickeys.

The suggestion box is closed for July 6.

You have now until 5:00pm EDT (2:00pm PDT) July 6 to pitch sketch suggestions inspired by your favorite Disney Parks things and characters for consideration to be my last sketch of the day - Here in comments.

 Looking to avoid repeats and fill the book with 51 different themed sketches, here above is a check list of things already done for your assistance.

What I Dew Saturday and Sunday – July 28th & 29th - Top 3

It’s a Disney trifecta for the top 3 liked pieces of what I drew in the weekend’s experiment of drawing in two 4-hour sessions.

Here they are:

#1 – Peter Pan and the Lost Boys as a Boy Band: suggestion by @michaelrmullin 

There’s a tongue in cheek aspect in this idea that you might expect it to have come to life on Disney’s House of Mouse cartoon series (2001-2003). 

Now, with Peter and the boys numbering 7 members, they don’t match up with any specific real life group that I know. But then, other than making Peter the rightful lead, I wouldn’t have been able to match up Lost Boy to any boy-band boy by personality any ways. 

I had a thought to take them all out of their Neverland costumes and put them into some 90’s style or some hybrid versions. But the Neverland costumes are part of the gag, right?

I haven’t seen Peter Pan for a while, but making Skunk a bit out of step with the others seemed right to me.

#2 – Mary Poppins and Wendy Darling: suggestion by @elijones94 

This scene came as a result of an “Oh, that’s right” moment upon realizing that both had sat or stood on a cloud. Wendy would still find it rather amazing. Mary would insist that Wendy wear a coat.

Although I had based the London skyline on an Peter Ellenshaw matte painting for Mary Poppins, in this fast-as-I-can sketch it may not have come together as well as it otherwise could. Maybe it needs some evening smoke trails from chimneys?

#3 – Stitch Running: suggestion by @assortedvariety 

The full suggestion requested that he’d be in a half-marathon. I hope that I focused on the important part, opting not to draw a “half marathon” banner or other runners for that matter.

Of course, Stitch, a.k.a. Experiment 626, is wearing his own number. Then I supposed that he needed a jersey on which to pin that number.

This was also the third drawing created over the 2-day split session where I drew sweating characters. I blame the current California heat wave.

Back to Stitch – There must by some special finishing medal at the end of this run to motivate him to enter and much less finish a marathon of any length.

Here are the rest of the 13.
