I watched beauty and the beast for the first time a few weeks ago. I thought the animation for beast was done very well, his rough character was shown through his large frame and intimidating features. His eyes and occasionally his expressions at times contrasted his roughness with his better human nature very well too. Nice drawings!
I recently started teaching myself 2D lip syncing. I drew E.T. saying “I’ll be right here.” I just finished it and put it in an animation portfolio I submitted for a position at Disney to be a traditional 2D trainee. Your videos have definitely helped me along the way. Thank you!
I want to join as well but as a character designer or for screenplay/script writer and hopefully become a director. Please let me know how it turns out because if you get in then it will inspire me more but if you don’t. Just remember to keep trying, because nobody is ever truly a failure, they just postpone their success.
I really could've used this as demonstration to help me learn animation, steps, visually back when I was in animation school. This is a true peek into something great.
Having the words in each frame with the underlined vowel or consonant cluster is really clever! I never would have considered that technique myself. Thank you very much for this video. I've learned something new today.
Disney also had a few of those original drawings from Beauty And The Beast on display at their 95 year anniversary exhibitions they ran including the one I went to in Melbourne Australia! :)
I want to point this to any starter animator,based on Aaron's scene right here,you DONT NEED so many frames to work,in-between frames are little and so more motion than making over thousands of frames for a single shot!Believe in your dreams
It is amazing you were allowed to keep those drawings. Do you think Disney will return to that kind of animation in the future? Also do you have a lesson or course for independent animators? Such as background and character drawing?
Question: the back of the drawings seem to have a lot of graphite on them. Was this done to transfer them onto another sheet for the cleanup crew? Or for what? Beautiful work, by the way!
Whoa, so cool to see that you actually have words (with stress on specific vowels and consonants) written on the frames. Seems very logical and obvious afterwards, but I didn't think about it before :) Thank you for using this opportunity of digitizing old sketches to teach us something (and provide a short, sentimental journey to our childhood :)) Is the backside covered in graphite for tracing purposes? It looks too black to be just smudges.
So incredible! Thanks for sharing your work with us! I was wondering-do you know what brand pencil it was that you used for those drawings? I want to find some thicker pencils to use.
I noticed the back of each sheet was heavily covered in graphite. Was that so that an assistant could trace and transfer your drawing onto another sheet?
Aaron answered on Facebook (I asked there too). Just in case he doesn't see this one, here's his answer: "Good catch! These were shot with a light behind them. In the final look in the movie this shot happens in the dark and Beast is all in shadow. I shaded all of the backs of the drawings to make it feel more like he was in shadow when lit from underneath."
aye i cant get hired to draw for no one how do i go about publishing and copywriteing my work so i can be an independent artist i heard if you work alone you get more money
Being an artist is not about just making money. It's more than that. Aaron is a great example of what you're mentioning here. He worked for Disney for more than 25 years and now he's an independent artist enjoying his life. Not to mention, he enjoyed his time at Disney and learned so much from there specially under GLen Keane's teaching. Deal with it!
anime and 2D Animation like Klaus (Netflix movie) is like that, sometime on paper sometime digitally then there's other technique called tweening but it really look stoic and lifeless finally there's CG but its a entirely different medium, there's no drawing skill required
yes, creating a character that will have to be accepted by the major public and animate it based on your incredible knowledge of anatomy, animation and character design is totally not hard at all!!
I’m so happy Disney let you keep these drawings
I really love your work Aaron
Inspiring me to lift the pencil again !!!
This is pure magic. This is why I love traditional 2D animation, is has so much life.
I just love 2d animation!

"I was one of the beast animators". You still are.
A Disney Legend never die and so is his legacy
I'm loving these videos! So cool to see the original animation for such legendary films.
HA! A blast from the past! Great to see those again, Aaron.
This is golden! Love seeing these behind the scene animations of the time when animation was at its best in my opinion. Brings back memories.
I love the beast
I love your impression of the Beast.

Awesome Aaron , thank you for sharing

These look awesome! Is great that you were able to keep these shots, and to be able to share part of the animation process with us :D

Its very interesting to watch your Disney works 👍👍👍
Este señor es una leyenda de la animación viviente.

Cool as usual you are an amazing artist
This is so damn cool and thank you for sharing! Such a wealth of knowledge in this video and many of your others

Wow. How long did you spend on those pupils? The shading looks gorgeous.
That's incredible!!!!
Superb beautiful pictures sir

I have over 500 hours of Art & Animation Lessons on my site: CreatureArtTeacher.com

I was wondering the same thing. It looks like the whole silhouette, so I don't think it's just residue from the drawing below
Yeah, good question.

@@ZoungyArt Ohh, interesting, thanks for posting the answer here!
@@ZoungyArt thanks for coming back!
God so cool
master..
The drawings were way better than the final film just sayn
tu trabajo tiene mas expresividad antes de que los asistentes hicieran su trabajo XD
Aaron Blaise: You'll notice here, that these drawings are really rough!
Me: .......................
💓💓💓
What does it mean, to put your drawings on the model?
It means making them look accurate to the charter model sheet. The model sheet defines what the charter SHOULD Look like

Awesomeness,thanx,be blessed,saved and all in Jesus shalom
which software is this Sir
Pig Driver Tusk's in Mickey's Prince and the Pauper (1990): my Friends Then he Shouldn't have trespassed here.
Is modern day animation as stressful as this? Like do you have to draw stuff frame by frame
anime and 2D Animation like Klaus (Netflix movie) is like that, sometime on paper sometime digitally
then there's other technique called tweening but it really look stoic and lifeless
finally there's CG but its a entirely different medium, there's no drawing skill required
