What he said at the end really shook me because I for one also draw out of my imagination and I always had that same feeling. You draw for hours just nothing, random face, people doing impossible things and then suddenly everything just clicks. Drawing is a wonderful skill and an amazing process, Glen really inspires me to keep going at animation.
Yeah playing music works that same way there are so many hours where I sit down for the bass guitar or piano and my fingers are stiff andI'm not playing on the beat, or behind or ahead of it like I want to, even...fingers slip, feel uninspired. Then sometimes you're going to get into a meditative state after doing it long enough usually, at one time. At least that is my own experience..and things just flow. The trying too hard to force something out really can ruin things but it does come together after you draw, play, whatever it is, long enough
I love how honest he is, especially when he mentioned how he just looks at non-white people while eating dinner in LA, and sees aspects of Pocahontas in them.
I heard Pocahontas was based on Supermodel Christy Turlington the animator saw a picture of her in a magazine and he based Pocahontas off her even though Christy self identifies as white her mom is from El Salvador which is why she has that exotic look I've personally seen photos of Christy when she has her naturally curly hair and she kinda looks like a very light skinned black girl lol
Just love how he believe in these characters its soo beautiful now i really want to live that feeling of making my characters come to life and i soo need a pen and paper because they anit gonna make themselves
He uses so much paper, and he draws really fast and the lines look really flowy. Incredible. Almost the opposite of me (I shove a lot of drawings in one paper, and the lines look unnatural...)
***** drawing lines are a reflection of your confidence and your mouscle memory. These two things come with everyday drawing, pick a skecthbook, draw everyday, in a month it's going to be better and in a year it's going to be great. like i draw my profil pic last week, but one year ago I could barely draw. It works.
Lothian Alimantado For the last 2 sketchbooks, I have made the goal of drawing everyday, and it's true! My drawings ARE getting slightly better. :D Thanks for the advice. And, your profile pic looks AMAZING.
great! thanks c: getting good at art is only a question of stepping up regularely your working standards. I would draw a 100p sketchbook every 2 month, now because i'm having more fun drawing, I draw more, It takes less brain power, I have to think about less technical elements of the drawing and focus on design, pose dynamic, values...and now I draw 2 sketchbook worth of drawings every month. (you can cheak out my blog if you want and look at my progression month to month : lothianalimantado.tumblr.com/)
This guy is a freaking legend. I wanna meet him someday. I would be so honored to learn anything from him. I love his attitude, very honest and relatable person. He's not just an artist he's a storyteller. And he is awesome!
I almost teared up when he spoke about the beast's eyes. Every SINGLE time I reminisce about Disney movies pre-Y2K, I get emotional because America doesn't create beauty like that in cartoons anymore. Everyone's out for the buck and not the emotion the old cartoons evoked.
@@5ilver42 very true. You cannot have standards because if you do you will be labeled as “mysoginist, sexist, fat shamer, racist” so on and so forth. And they keep changing classic characters to meet the “wokeness” of today’s society.
No problem!! I wish I could've had recorded the whole thing, but I ran out of memory! I'm glad you guys are enjoying this. I'd love to see that making of you're talking about!! Greetings from Mexico city!
+XAVIERCUERVO, the magic for me for example with Beast is when people react with deep emotion to what is essentially just a series of drawings brought to life through animation and given soul and mixed with the voice and music. That to me is what is magic.
take the beast. film was released in 1991. this video was filmed in 2012, so 21 years later he is able to recreate the masterpiece with no aids what so ever. that is talent.
Awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this. Glen Keane one of the greatest animators of our time, and it is a privilege and a joy to hear him share his thoughts, experience and skill.
4 years later, yeah. I can tell you the same, but Beast in his first scenes, like when he met Belle the first time, I was kind of scared of him because of the shadows, and I also was surprised of his screams. But in any case, they did a good job on him. The character is amazing, and Glen made a good job 💚💕
I remember hearing the stories of the old animators at Disney. We all love the voices, but more than that, I think we love the way they move even more. Those men were legends, they conveyed emotion with their hands better than a hollywood actor with good looks and suave elegance. He did the same thing. To me, he's every bit as great as the masters from when disney began.
watching this really made my day, it was amazing to watch the video of such a master. it must have been awesome to witness in real life. thanks so much for sharing! really thank you :)
It was amazing ...thank you so much for uploading and sharing among all over the world.My friend was there and when i asked him if he filmed it or not...he said, he tried but somehow it did not work.But, he also said that some person filmed it and hope it will be uploaed soon....may be you are that person..ahhaahha...greetings from Bangladesh.I have 30 minutes making of `La luna` from Stuttgart film fest this year. Thinking that i should uploaded it for all...:D
Brilliant! This is magic. And Pocahontas animation is my favourite, I guess. But I love them all. But why on earth Tangled was made a computer animation? Glen could just do it traditionally... It would be so beautiful. I know it's a lot more work and more money etc., but come on! I'd give 50$ to watch traditionally animated Tangled in cinemas.
Besides all his talent... He's so humble, so kind & gratefull, OMG!!! Could we have a better Disney role model? He's a Hero!!! I love his theory about characters already existing and they come out as you do research and draw. I completely agree.
Does anyone know if Glen Keane said "The most challenging part of drawing Pocahontas is going to be trying to capture who she really is" at a private interview about animating the character, or if he said that when he supervised the other animators in the studio?
Mostly a blackwing brand pencil. But like all artist and traditional animation, they just sharpen their pencils like a fencing (pointy sword) like edge.

The beast eyes really brought him to life. Glen is a true artist.
without those eyes....that was just another mashup of animals....when he drew those "prince" eyes....Wow moment came! It was the Beast indeed!
my god. such built up experience, sketches practically in minutes. simply inspiring. beast though.. so fast
Just love how he believe in these characters its soo beautiful now i really want to live that feeling of making my characters come to life and i soo need a pen and paper because they anit gonna make themselves
So how did it go? Were you able to create any of them? I'm curious haha

it's worse than that, American has waged a war upon beauty itself!

Greetings from Mexico city!
He drew Beast so fast, omg. It was gorgeous 😍
this masters are very unappreciated not by me or you , but everyone else I think what they do is magic ....real magic
+XAVIERCUERVO, the magic for me for example with Beast is when people react with deep emotion to what is essentially just a series of drawings brought to life through animation and given soul and mixed with the voice and music. That to me is what is magic.
Jealousy... is burning my soul... MY SOUL!!!!!
take the beast. film was released in 1991. this video was filmed in 2012, so 21 years later he is able to recreate the masterpiece with no aids what so ever. that is talent.
Thank you for uploading this, it's really awesome to see this guy doing magic with those gesture lines!!!!
Awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this. Glen Keane one of the greatest animators of our time, and it is a privilege and a joy to hear him share his thoughts, experience and skill.
I have so much respect for this man. I watch all these amazing animators and their processes and it's truly incredible the work they do.
I love how he tries to talk and draw and then ends up losing himself in the picture. This man, who drew my childhood, is now my hero.
This is freaking incredible. My goodness.
Glen keane's a beast!
And he's so right. The tiniest change in placement of a drawing makes an amazing difference.
Maybe it's because I grew up watching beauty and the beast, but the beast never looked ugly or scary to me.
4 years later, yeah. I can tell you the same, but Beast in his first scenes, like when he met Belle the first time, I was kind of scared of him because of the shadows, and I also was surprised of his screams. But in any case, they did a good job on him. The character is amazing, and Glen made a good job 💚💕
The beast was a very handsome prince he became ugly because of the witch but when he turns human at the end he kinda looks like Jensen Ackles LoL
I remember hearing the stories of the old animators at Disney. We all love the voices, but more than that, I think we love the way they move even more. Those men were legends, they conveyed emotion with their hands better than a hollywood actor with good looks and suave elegance.

Wow he makes animating look so easy...he has so much talent, watching him just makes me want to pick up a pencil and start sketching.
Absolutely incredible to watch. I hope to one day achieve this level of artistic ability.
This man is incredible and funny too.. :D
PODRIA ESTAR MIRANDO ESTO TODO EL DIA !!!
watching this really made my day, it was amazing to watch the video of such a master. it must have been awesome to witness in real life. thanks so much for sharing! really thank you :)
this is by far one of my favorite videos on youtube,so inspiring
i just love it when he draws the eyes at 8:26 it actually makes beast feel human to me at the moment
Thanks for uploading this!
OH THIS VIDEO WAS JUST FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so much for uploading it. I will be subbing right away! I sure hope to watch more! x
He's my Hero!! his art has alwasys inspired me and always will. I love you Glen Keane!
This man is a god
So glad you got this!!! Thanks Ivonne!!!
Awesome... thanks for upload this.... Glen Kane ROCKS!
what a fantastic mentor
I just wish I had that desk lol
There was a running joke amongst animators that the better you are, the more trees you'll save because you won't need as much paper :P
I wish I was there, hope I get to meet him someday not only is he super talented an inspiration, but also funny ^^
Monster too scary? soften it up with cow ears!
It was amazing ...thank you so much for uploading and sharing among all over the world.My friend was there and when i asked him if he filmed it or not...he said, he tried but somehow it did not work.But, he also said that some person filmed it and hope it will be uploaed soon....may be you are that person..ahhaahha...greetings from Bangladesh.I have 30 minutes making of `La luna` from Stuttgart film fest this year.

I WAS HERE!!!
Thanks for uploading this, you rock
Glen Keane is one of the villain animators who animated Ratigan and Sykes.
"That's an ugly pocahontas."
then i look at my drawing
nope
that's aint no ugly pocohontas SHUT UP
*crys in corner* i can't even draw a circle
antikimchi1 same 😂
We love Glen!
His skills - my dream
Thaaanks! Glen Keane is soo inspiring!
Aww, i love this guy, he drew disney's best characters, and yet he remains modest, my idol :)
I wish I could meet him
I love how he explains. It seems so easily ^^
HE'S BACK!!
Brilliant! This is magic. And Pocahontas animation is my favourite, I guess. But I love them all. But why on earth Tangled was made a computer animation? Glen could just do it traditionally... It would be so beautiful. I know it's a lot more work and more money etc., but come on! I'd give 50$ to watch traditionally animated Tangled in cinemas.
Pocahontas was always the most beautiful Disney Princess to me like I saw her as a little girl and thought she was so pretty
Besides all his talent... He's so humble, so kind & gratefull, OMG!!! Could we have a better Disney role model? He's a Hero!!!
I love his theory about characters already existing and they come out as you do research and draw. I completely agree.
He's so amazing
When he drew Beast's eyes it reminded me of Jane drawing Tarzan's eyes :) Oh, Glen Keane, you genius son of a gun!
No problem! :) Glad you enjoyed it!
fully energatic....We have lots of Inspiration.......walt disney Legend ....God bless
Legend!
I felt just the same, not that I could believe that he messed up! but at first I did not saw it,.. and than bamm there he appeared
a Genius indeed
What a genius.
Anyone just get this? :o
I love him.
Espero que la animación 2D vuelva a renacer y nos traiga de nuevo a estos maravillosos animadores...
He rocked Disney! Now whoever becomes his best replacement, it should start talking about making a ballerina princess!
Wow i learned so much
Huh, so THAT's why I like Pocahontas's face so much more than the other disney characters.
Pocahontas was always the most beautiful Disney Princess to me
i wish i could draw like him also i would love to meet him
AMAZING
Thanks for sharing, really! :)
I'm gonna go watch Pocahontas now
Does anyone know if Glen Keane said "The most challenging part of drawing Pocahontas is going to be trying to capture who she really is" at a private interview about animating the character, or if he said that when he supervised the other animators in the studio?
Does anyone know what kind of paper all of these animators use?...
They use animation paper. You can order it on Amazon. It’s very expensive, but you can get it.
Amazing
Sure!! it was amazing! I hope it helps, wish I could've recorded the whole thing, but, ran out of memory..
goddamn thats impressive
thanks man!
i wish i coul be there!!!
what I noticed is that when he started to sketch he doesn't start by measuring every angle unlike other artist.. wow your habeeem!!!!!
the words coming out of my mouth once he begins to draw : what- what - what! - Oh my Go- WHAT!
Amé su dibujo de la bestia
it is cool plus incridible
I was assuming that hed draw a young child. Since thats the correct proportions historically and literally.
I love that comment about characters existing before you draw them...
That's how artists work lol they have to visualise before they start creating
do you know which kind of pencil is he using? :p
Mostly a blackwing brand pencil. But like all artist and traditional animation, they just sharpen their pencils like a fencing (pointy sword) like edge.
what book can i refer to start drawing cartoons...?
'Drawn to Life' - Walt Stanchfield (2 volumes). Both volumes are brilliant.
can anyone please tell me what kind of paper he's using?
No "Chipmunk Adventure" questions?
Could you please upload that La Luna video?
7:43 the horns were hahahaha lolol
I.. love him. XD
What is that pencil he's using? I must know!
No problem! :D
Does superman have a shield...?
what does CTNX mean?
Where is this from?
😎 dude
