Brickey with the dry brush highlights and the dark wash edges for the win. Brickey gives masterclasses in art,design and techniques on the regular. Keep it up teach!
Do it! Keep it going! Love the design info. Disneyland as a whole is made up of small, deliberate design decisions, and videos like yours can help us to appreciate the Imagineering behind the great place.
I adore Mickey's Runaway Railway! It's one of the few rides where I've been able to feel completely immersed in the story to the point where I didn't notice the breaking of the 4th wall at all. And I almost never lose awareness of the 4th wall. I remember riding it the first time and was asking to do it again before even exiting the ride. I love being able to appreciate all the imagineer's creativity and dedication to their work. More please!
Such a tiny detail that is so massive in scale. It adds so much to the feels you get when you experience a Disney Park. Thank you imagineers for going the distance. Great video Brickey thanks for giving more appreciation for Disneyland.
Bravo Brickey! I’m curious how imagineering is able to execute this level of artistic detail. Do they have talented illustrators on-site doing the painting, or is all planned and then essentially a “paint by numbers”?
Absolutely loving the deep art dives on the lands. The paint job remains so vibrant despite being a cloudy day with all the high / low lights. ❤- I really hope they find a better way of hiding the conduit on the wishing tree, they could wrap it all to appear like fake tree branch growth
Great to see the creativity to build depth and character in facades. I ‘ve done landscapes & always garnered inspiration via Disneyland landscapes. And to put it into one word “depth” is the key to build on. Haven’t considered to look for the same on the buildings til now - of course it all makes since 😀
Great deep dive of New Toon Town ! I really like the detail they put into the wood grain siding. They have some talented artists. That must of taken a long time. To paint the whole land. I think how you said they used complimentary colors on the pillars made it look a little more like real stone or concrete pillars. Thanks for another video.
I loved this so much. My grandmother was a watercolorist and I loved going to museums with her and hearing her talk about the depth in the painting 💕 She would have loved this video!
I do love the color scheme of Toontown, I don’t like the placement of the fountain, even though it’s very cute, and I definitely don’t like the fake grass, saying that I have fake grass in my backyard, and it gets very hot, hopefully the trees will shade it enough so it’s not to hot.
Very much appreciate your effort and enthusiasm in sparking our interest and curiosity for living art. And only at Disneyland can we be assured of this top quality design. The next time I’m a guest, I plan to push my way through the crowds to inspect all that you have pointed out!..
Two great videos in one day. Thanks for this deep dive into Toon Town’s painting color trick. All these design videos make me appreciate the parks even more. Thanks! #Club1313
I absolutely love these designers walk-abouts. Its fascinating to the non artist to learn why things resonate so well and the techniques that trick our eye. Thanks Brickey.
Great video brickey love how you pointed out things of Mickey Toontown I think Walt Disney made Marceline Missouri in with a little St Louis Missouri just want to say is they both have a little bit of main Street USA feenin heart of St Louis and Marceline mixed together 1904 St Louis on the left side of main Street USA is a little tight end with Marcy misery and right before you get to the castle is a little bit of we get to Disney world and has a little bit of old Louisiana purchase style are you can put a little Louisiana purchase flag in the state of Missouri flag and Disneyland cuz I you can tell how much Walt Disney miss the state of Missouri when he moved to California I guess that's why he made one part St Louis of 1904 and Marceline dealer half of main Street USA Marceline Missouri so he think about that flying above next to a California state flag of Missouri flag of Louisiana purchase flag cuz they both Disneyland and Disney world both have a little mixture of St Louis and Marceline Missouri and little bit of old Louisiana purchase import of New Orleans square
Love seeing this through your eyes, These are really standard scenic painting techniques that scenic painters (I was one for decades) have used forever. Think of it as Lilliputian illustration (did you see the great big 6' flat brush in your mind?) It's replicating standard illustration techniques in a much, much larger scale. I've always felt it was brave of Disney to let people get right up close to it. Some of it is airbrushed/sprayed. Some is brushwork (wet brush, paint on one edge), some is dry brush, and some is natural sponge work. It is so fantastically realized in Toon Town. Thank you for the appreciation, Brickey!
Brickey! I cut my teeth in Disneyland in the early 60's and has always been my goto place. Your perspective has awakened a whole new appreciation for my favorite place on Earth! Thx
3:17 Somehow, I KNEW you were going to talk about the subtle shadow and highlight effects! I actually love using this technique when working on physical pieces (sculptures). It just adds a pop of life to a piece! For the darker shades, I’ll using go in wet into crevices and folds (thinned down acrylics or guoache), and wipe it down quickly. Let dry. Then for the highlights, a soft dry brush, with juuuuust enough paint on it on the tips of the bristles, OR you can use a CLEAN makeup sponge, and gently dab the lighter color on. Creates some amazing gradients.
I'm a year late, but it's never too late to say thank you for this interesting video. I've never paid close attention to the painting in ToonTown (and elsewhere around the parks). I'll be looking more closely in the future.
Another great video. Seeing the level of detail that is put into those buildings. Makes you stop a appreciate the planing and execution of the updates of everyone involved.
I love that you rope dropped to bring us this highlight! thank you! I wheats enjoy your videos. you appreciate what I do about Disneyland! thanks again!
So interesting!! It felt cartoony to me but I thought that was because of all the curved lines. So interesting to see that it was in the painting, too. So subtle and so effective.
Thanks for the fun Toon Town art and design info bits. I am an art teacher and am currently working with the colour wheel with my students. I'm going to show them this video and they will get to see some real world application. Love it!
@@HeyBrickey well thank you, that’s kind. And that’s the exact reason I became an art teacher. 😊 also, I showed my students your video today and it was great! They were so engaged and it really enriched our lesson.
I just found your channel and I'm really enjoying your videos. This video is probably one of my favorites because I love learning how Disney engages our senses to tell a great story. Please keep these sorts of videos coming. Thanks for doing what you do.
This trick is used for modeling and I've used it for great effect when painting miniatures! They used to sell a vast array of model paint shades and colors. But now a lot of the people who manufactured them stopped/discontinued them because of sales were dropping. I would choose the base color and a darker color and a lighter color and have all three shades to apply the effect! And
Hahaha!!! I come from screen printing and I too would use base extender with a drop of gray in it. Then everything I would print over would have a “shadow” printed over it. Shame model making is on the decline, such an amazing practice.
When I was a kid my dad taught me to color-in by shading the inside of the outline darker, then scratching lighter in the inside portion of a shape to give it depth…Gotta say though I’ll miss the darker blue on the city hall columns and the red roof. Also when you look at older photos of City Hall you’ll also notice the pillar “ruffles” or whatever you want to call them were painted blue on either side toward the top and at some point they filled it in with white and went with a blue airbrush shadow on each layer. The blue trim around the door is stylistically better than more red, though I have to say. Makes the door pop. The paint brush colors on the Ink and Paint feels a little…dare I say, Mickey Mousey, but, I get it…
Glad to have you back doing the designer breakdowns around the park. Thanks Brickey!
I’m not an artist but I really love your perspective on the parks. It’s fascinating to see things from a designer’s viewpoint.
I love your enthusiasm and that you are willing to share it with us. Your designer deep dives are some of my favorite videos on UA-cam. 🖌🎨🤘
Hey Brickey, I'm a 40 yr veteran of the comic book industry and I have to say I dig this fantastic video. THANKS!

This is why I love Hey Brickey.

I’m not an artist or designer but I enjoy this videos because I learn so much and makes me notice things that most people ignore.

I’m excited to share this with my niece; a talented young painter who was just in ToonTown a couple weeks ago.
Dude, I am very niche, please keep these coming.
Toon town deep dive
Absolutely loving the deep art dives on the lands. The paint job remains so vibrant despite being a cloudy day with all the high / low lights. ❤- I really hope they find a better way of hiding the conduit on the wishing tree, they could wrap it all to appear like fake tree branch growth
Always learning stuff when I watch your videos Brickey!
Fantastic video about something I've never noticed!

You always give me new things to check out on my trips. This one takes the cake.
So fascinating, thanks for this video 👍🏼
Thanks for showing the details and beauty that is new Toontown. Also, loved seeing the color wheel, took me back to art class. Great video Brickey!
I do love the color scheme of Toontown, I don’t like the placement of the fountain, even though it’s very cute, and I definitely don’t like the fake grass, saying that I have fake grass in my backyard, and it gets very hot, hopefully the trees will shade it enough so it’s not to hot.
Enjoyed the video - amazing work done at Disney.

This channel is just next level 🤯🥰
Love the details! Thanks for sharing!

Exactly the type of Content I hope to get from you. THANK YOU!
Love your work Bricky!
These are your best videos
so clever!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯
Hey Brickey! Love this content. It makes me enjoy the parks soo much more! Keep up the outstanding work!
Have you done this for Batuu?? I know you talked about the one tower, but I'd love to see an in depth view of Batuu like you did here.

I love these videos! Town Town looks awesome now!

I appreciate the subtle differences, but unfortunately I'm particularly color blind so I wasnt able to see the difference in some of these shades.
that hat is pretty awesome!!! where did you find that?
Brickey looks so happy to nerd out on painting techniques and I love it

Brickey doing what only Brickey can do! These videos are so great
Never realized the painting techniques they used. That was really informative Brickey!
Saw you filming this that morning walking down Main Street. We were gonna say hi but you were in stride and mid-monologue. Thanks for the content bro.

Love your deep dive into designs at Disneyland!
Thank you, I will see Toon Town with fresh eyes next time!
What a video, man!! Made me appreciate it all even more!

Awesome!!! Love these videos on the artistry. You have your own style to the Disneyland YouTubing and I dig it!
Awesome commentary. I agree with you

Nice music on the montages.
I see it so different thru your eyes. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
so interesting
love this ❤ thank you!

I liiiiiive for this sort of info! Thank you for sharing’
Good call. As a TTRPG/D&D gamer I know this as SOP for painting miniatures.

The paint brush colors on the Ink and Paint feels a little…dare I say, Mickey Mousey, but, I get it…
You have a great eye
Did you film a lot of videos on the same day? It’s either that, or you really love that shirt 👔 😊
These feels like when I learned shading of a sphere in photoshop. It really brings the piece to life.
This is exactly what they did to make the Toons in Rodger Rabbit, they make a character popm
I'm learning to be a better artist, one toon town building at a time haha.
I am new to your channel, but not to Disneyland. Maybe you have done a clip on this
I do not know. Remember the old coupon books, "A" to "E".
The horseshoe door frame of the bank is upside-down therefore it is not good luck
corrugated, not perforated :)
