Not only a promotion, you no longer had to 'clock in', you got a screen credit and the union minimum salary. At around fifty feet, I wasn't even close. Frank got credit for the footage:- ).</p><p> Next up in 1977 I was doing inbetweens and rough animation for animator Gary Goldman on <i>Pete's Dragon.</i> Another 50 or so feet as animation production came to a close. Again, footage was credited to the Gary as I had not reached the magic number.</p><p> Following was <i>The Small One </i>in1979, Disney created a in-house category, <i>animating assistant</i>. No such category exists in the union.</p><p> The union categories are <i>inbetweener</i>, an inbetweener with more experience becomes a <i>breakdown</i>, more experience bumps you up to an <i>assistant animator</i> and finally<i> animator</i>. Any of those categories could be a career. I had advanced to assistant animator by this time.</p><p> Entering into The Small One, a number of us who had come through the trainee program were deemed <i>animating assistants</i>. We now had all the responsibilities of an animator. Which include being issued scenes, talking directly with the sequence director, animating full time and having our own inbetweener.</p>Animating on<i> The Small One</i> (below).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0EEZUkqF5f3e9imQDgmHOX7uk3RRVknrAx8ksp8tTfhwi_vW9k_B7G53aWB_Lw3oaieDdiJvxHDeg2e4APQIwsNE0NYnpeIXmdYx6l74bcnBXQNOZXXRjPBcp-GHLIIQWqO5NUY5N5QEXidvP4hybWvOFmqm3QJ-a27cMQyUXh6CS-go9x9gEoaO/s3300/Document_2023-03-04_110158%20(4).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3300" data-original-width="2550" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP0EEZUkqF5f3e9imQDgmHOX7uk3RRVknrAx8ksp8tTfhwi_vW9k_B7G53aWB_Lw3oaieDdiJvxHDeg2e4APQIwsNE0NYnpeIXmdYx6l74bcnBXQNOZXXRjPBcp-GHLIIQWqO5NUY5N5QEXidvP4hybWvOFmqm3QJ-a27cMQyUXh6CS-go9x9gEoaO/s320/Document_2023-03-04_110158%20(4).jpg" width="247" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDi52KFK2zdxRMhr54iB0yNuja4XOZ9r--0STY6qTJ6-e1OVddb6ZyIQNLpdm_lFvbbUDIDCthsSFg5CZAne-6K0Ao3nmnZAApE0Pz2VGSQXCUV9LRgN-kvvNTay6gdmE4oi0L5H5iM3yWIhZwMDXTf6J6kH3x3gR6kpsRJqHg8DPpNul97pWm2m4q/s3300/Photo_2023-03-05_140035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2550" data-original-width="3300" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDi52KFK2zdxRMhr54iB0yNuja4XOZ9r--0STY6qTJ6-e1OVddb6ZyIQNLpdm_lFvbbUDIDCthsSFg5CZAne-6K0Ao3nmnZAApE0Pz2VGSQXCUV9LRgN-kvvNTay6gdmE4oi0L5H5iM3yWIhZwMDXTf6J6kH3x3gR6kpsRJqHg8DPpNul97pWm2m4q/w400-h309/Photo_2023-03-05_140035.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /> <br />As I gained on my 100 feet, the publicity department sent out this photo (above) and information about 'A Disney First Black Animators' referring to Mike McKinney and myself.

I had achieved the quota of 100 feet and more on the production. The week before I had turned in the scene of the boy climbing up the wall and waving good bye to the man, his wife and The Small One (Joseph with Mary riding the donkey on their way to Bethlehem).</p><p>In the 'old days' a scene would be rough animated, sent to the camera department where the individual drawings were to be shot (photographed), reviewed by the director(s) and if it got approval, be inserted in the story reel in place of workbook images. This process could take several days or more.</p><p>The week I turned in the scene I decided to take that next week off as vacation time and rest up. I felt tired and run down, very little energy. I had lost weight, my equilibrium was off, slurred speech and nausea also plagued me.</p><p> Weeks earlier my general practice doctor, after examining me said " I'm not giving you a note to get off work". If he didn't take my condition seriously, why should I. So I continued to go to the studio, using one lane on the freeway because looking left or right made me dizzy.</p><p> Another doctor prescribed pills to combat my nausea but the pills made me drowsy. I could barely keep from falling asleep at my desk. </p><p> I had started tapping the wall as I walked the hallways to keep my balance. President of the studio at the time, the late Ron Miller saw me in this condition, inquired about it and took action. He had his secretary make specialist doctor appointments for me. She would telephone from the third floor having made an appointment for me. </p><p>Ear, nose and throat doctor, nope, nothing wrong there...on to another appointment. Several doctors later she arranged for me to see a neurosurgeon, Dr George Gruner. He almost jumped out of his skin upon examining me. His office was across the street to the north from St. Joseph's Hospital. The studio was across the street to the east of the hospital.</p><p>"Don't go home, check yourself into the hospital". Day's later Dr. Gruner performed an eight hour surgery on the back of my neck where the spine meets the cranium (still have the scar).</p><p> He told my wife LaVonne, "he's probably going to die on the operating table or if the operation is a success, he'll be paralyzed from the neck or waist down". He said this not to be pessimistic but to prepare her for what he thought the foreseeable outcome would be.</p><p>He performed a successful surgery, About three months later I was back on the lot half days.</p><p><b>Other hurdles along the way...</b></p><p> A few months after I passed the trainee period and doing the job of inbetweening I got called up to the third floor of the old animation building. (First floor was where feature animation was done. Second floor was dedicated to trainees and Eric Larson's spacious office (Eric headed the trainee training) and the library. Management was on the third level.</p><p> There I was told "you will never animate here, Filmation, Hanna-Barbara or someplace else, but not here". This was not a studio wide attitude but it was this person's. I left his office and went back down to the first floor to finish Frank's inbetweens.</p><p> A few years later I was told "Ron, you can't draw, it says right here on paper". Ironic, earlier that week I had talked with the person who was cleaning up (taking roughly drawn characters and removing the construction lines and putting the character on model if needed) my ruff drawings and he told me the information in the drawings made them easy to clean-up and follow.

I realized she could be transformed from beauty to grotesque in the width of a line. From a three quarters rear view, her stature was carefully massaged from the end of my pen, . The rough and rowdy surrounding environment is contrasted with her feminine lines. Her hair was purposely left in pencil to this point to capture the more natural 'hot pressing comb' look that was popular at the time.</div><div> The canvas flooring is the final section to be inked. </div><div><br /></div><div><b> Final thoughts...</b></div><div>This and my other pen and ink pieces are designed to function from a distance, mid-range and up close.</div><div>I have seen people with their nose to the glass eyeing every line. There are viewers standing at arms length taking in the whole, various emotions washing over their faces. From this span the viewer can scrutinize each face as it reacts to the punch and observe the universal lean towards the action. In case the viewer misses all that, there are numerous arms and cameras pointed in the direction of interest. </div><div> From a distance or squinting your eyes, the light above draws immediate attention to the main attraction, the boxers. The upper left corner grouping triangles to a point aimed at our fighters. The referees stance, which at first recoiled from the action, now bends forward leading the eye in the direction of his sight. Lower left corner triangle shape leads to the ring post up the boxer's leg, through his upper torso to the right arm delivering the punch. Lower right side triangular shape does the same. All in an attempt to get the eye to focus attention on the two in the ring.</div><div>(About Final thoughts...- It was always funny to me that my art history teachers, some five hundred or so years after the fact, were analyzing what the artist had in mind when he/she did this or that in their artwork. Maybe the instructors were correct in their assessment or maybe passing on an educated guess, if the artist did not say as much.

Sounds a little technical but it is what I find works best for the technique of pen and ink, cross hatching. I'll talk more about pen and ink next time.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>11/23/19...</b></p><p> The boxing ring size, angle and format is set (below). This would be the environment which the individual actors would perform. Sounds like I'm making a movie and in a way I am. Think about how important the layout/background is in anchoring the setting and giving the actors the proper setting to convey the story points. My thinking goes like this...in a quick sketch or an illustration you are telling a story in a single sketch/drawing. In a movie (animated or live action) your story is told in a series of images run through a projector at 24 frames per second.</p><p> My background in animation has me thinking not only about a strong, storytelling pose (extreme) but how the character got <i>into</i> the pose and how the character is going to get<i> out </i>of that pose. Thus, the character drawn has a feeling of movement, even in a stationary pose.</p><p> Everything that describes that particular character is explained in that one drawing. Body language and facial expression must say it all about him or her at that moment in time. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv8x2hulZqiUWX3TxzboXb0Qxcu98olpHHKP-nnBazlcJhZa5MjnSma3CYIB1g4FhbMXVJwR4Gzlbdb1JckN_ZM2qpWQWxi85I-c_SkSz7NAWBMMBXnKUOYeGqL_5EsHE585egMgyyhLMePL_uGmIvUNAilFXmJHTJmJFuA118CtM1bMq6cEzCk23q/s4656/B1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2218" data-original-width="4656" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv8x2hulZqiUWX3TxzboXb0Qxcu98olpHHKP-nnBazlcJhZa5MjnSma3CYIB1g4FhbMXVJwR4Gzlbdb1JckN_ZM2qpWQWxi85I-c_SkSz7NAWBMMBXnKUOYeGqL_5EsHE585egMgyyhLMePL_uGmIvUNAilFXmJHTJmJFuA118CtM1bMq6cEzCk23q/w400-h190/B1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><b> 12/21/19... </b></p><p> First in importance is the placement of the ring posts (above).

Johann, her husband and daughters Reese and Rayna are moving to Virginia where Johann, who is in the navy, has been stationed. They stopped off in Southern California after living in Paradise (Hawaii) for the past 7 years, on their way to their new home.<div> Melissa was the excuse my wife LaVonne and I used for dragging out a big box of old photographs. Some, she had seen, others she hadn't in years. The photographs brought a warm smile to all our faces. "Where did that come from"... "I remember that"... "I don't recall that...but there I am". <div> I'm sure all of us have had these flashback memories captured in time stopping photographs. There are many reasons we look at our scrapbooks/photo albums and now on our smart phones. These images from the past bring a smile, tear or in most cases laughter and remembrances of an occasion caught on film or video. Kids who have grown up, people who have moved away or no longer with us, places we've been or seen, things we've done or fashions we've worn. In some cases seeing images we haven't given a thought to in years or even decades that bring a smile to our faces.</div><div> Looking through my hundreds of sketchbooks is such an experience for me.

Quick sketching as usual, I caught Wayne talking strategy on the sidelines during the action. I included this sketch in my book<i> Quick Sketching with Ron Husband. </i>Not only am I concerned with the story telling pose but a recognizable likeness of the person or persons being sketched. We are not used to seeing ourselves as others see us. How we stand, our posture, our walk, our gestures are not revealed in the head shot we see in the bathroom mirror as we ready for the outside world. We do not recognize ourselves, but others do, as Wayne's daughter Amber did.

color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">“We are saddened to learn of the passing of former head coach Wayne Nunnely,” said UNLV Director of Athletics Desiree Reed-Francois. “He was a role model as our only football alumnus to later become head coach and was truly blessed to have touched so many lives while teaching the sport he loved for nearly four decades.” </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">Nunnely had a rich legacy while attending and playing at UNLV. He is the only player in the football program's history to become a rebel head coach.</p><div class="tncms-region hidden-print" id="tncms-region-article_instory_top" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="tncms-block" id="tncms-block-676786" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 10px;"><div class="tnt-ads-container text-center " style="box-sizing: border-box; min-height: 1px; text-align: center !important;"></div></div></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">The former Rebel fullback transferred to UNLV in 1972 after playing junior college football in California. He began coaching at UNLV as a graduate assistant in 1976 after serving as a high school coach at Valley High School.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">Nunnely continued coaching on the West Coast and spent time at Cal Poly Pomona (1977-78), Cal State Fullerton (1979) and Pacific (1980-81). He returned to Las Vegas and coached running backs in 1982.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">After several years as the Rebels running back coach, Nunnely was given the interim head coaching job in 1986. With UNLV giving the interim title to Nunnely, he became the first Black head coach on the West Coast and the fifth in NCAA Division One history.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">As the leader of the Rebels' football program, Nunnely lead UNLV to a 17-7 victory over Wisconsin in front of a packed Sam Boyd Stadium. The win over one the Big Ten's most notable football programs was enough to land Nunnely full-time head coaching job. In addition to the upset win over the Badgers, Nunnely coached legendary running back Icky Woods to the 1987 rushing title that tallied 1658 yards.</p><div class="tncms-region hidden-print" id="tncms-region-article_instory_middle" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="tncms-block" id="tncms-block-703176" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 10px;"><div class="tnt-ads-container text-center " style="box-sizing: border-box; min-height: 1px; text-align: center !important;"><div class="tnt-ads dfp-ad" data-google-query-id="CIK1_p7U8u4CFRCqYgodtvoOJA" data-lazy="true" id="ad-703176" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; min-height: 0px; min-width: 0px;"><div id="google_ads_iframe_/226955631/fox5vegas.com/sports_4__container__" style="border: 0pt none; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto; min-width: 100%; visibility: visible;"><iframe data-google-container-id="5" data-load-complete="true" frameborder="0" height="131" id="google_ads_iframe_/226955631/fox5vegas.com/sports_4" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="google_ads_iframe_/226955631/fox5vegas.com/sports_4" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" scrolling="no" style="border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; min-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom;" title="3rd party ad content" width="725"></iframe></div></div></div></div></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">Nunnley was apart of another historic moment in 1988 when the Rebels played the University of Ohio. That game pinned two Black head coaches against each other for the first time on the FBS-level.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">Barriers were broken with Nunnely until 1989 when he stopped coaching the Rebels.

He stayed on the West Coast, and found himself coaching in the Pac-12 conference in the early 1990s. </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">Nunnely's coaching career took him to National Football League. He spent time with Denver Broncos as their defensive line coach, the then San Diego Charges and New Orleans Saints.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">After 36 years of roaming the professional and collegiate sidelines, Nunnely hung up his whistle. </p><p class="xgmail-msonospacing" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> “It has been an absolute dream come true for me to coach for 36 years,” Nunnely said at the time of his retirement and before becoming a regular visitor to the UNLV campus. “I am so thankful for all the opportunities I have been given to have a positive impact on others through the game of football.”</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;">Wayne Nunnley is survived by his wife Velda, three sons, Steve, Channing, Aaron, and daughter Amber.</p><div class="tncms-region hidden-print" id="tncms-region-article_instory_bottom" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="tncms-block" id="tncms-block-676788" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-bottom: 10px;"><div class="tnt-ads-container text-center " style="box-sizing: border-box; min-height: 1px; text-align: center !important;"></div></div></div><div class="tncms-region hidden-print" id="tncms-region-article_bottom_content" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></div></div><div class="asset-tagline text-muted" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #777777; padding-top: 20px; position: relative;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Copyright 2020 <a href="http://fox5vegas.com/" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(220, 220, 220); box-sizing: border-box; color: #2c6cb4; text-decoration-line: none;">KVVU</a> (KVVU Broadcasting Corporation).

<u><br /></u><b>August 2017 start with pencil...</b><br />
Now is the time to draw what I imagine.<br />
I begin one day in August (failed to write which one).<br />
Armed with an H and HB pencils, kneeded and white erasers, erasing shield and a sheet of Strathmore 500 two ply 23"x 29" illustration board, I'm ready to start.<br />
<br />
Photo (A) below showing the background of circus tent and banners were some of the first objects I drew. Then I placed the elephant who was pulling a clown holding on to it's tail.<br />
<br />
Character by character the composition starts to build and take on a life of its own as little character situations add fun stuff to look at as you can see the progress in photo (B) below.<br />
<br />
With the addition of more characters photo (C), it became difficult to find room for the clown/tail as originally intended. An area would have to be made clear for the clown/tail action to be seen properly without compromising the entertainment value of the whole piece. So, the clown was out. The three characters, photo (D) below the elephant's rear end, made a more interesting composition.<br />
<br />
Decisions like this are made regularly as one character or group of characters are added or moved around seeking a better composition.<br />

<b>04/03/18 the inking starts...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Why almost two months passed between the end of penciling and the start of inking escapes my memory :-). There are two ways artists use ink on paper. One is lines in various lengths and the other is dots. I have chosen lines as my method commonly referred to as cross hatching.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The examples below illustrate this technique.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFLpPpdpev7LpvOXG6me9Gnx7bmyIy62TZer-SFXJvSs-QpC68nR-Wb68lNkVppf4nwcKwTxbSX925fMPRh229HvO-2RRtR71AVYGBTr0DDnhlPYLQz7Gn5yfkSFYIVhlKAXRx9D7KtOw/s1600/Pen%25EF%2580%25A2crosshatch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1237" data-original-width="1600" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFLpPpdpev7LpvOXG6me9Gnx7bmyIy62TZer-SFXJvSs-QpC68nR-Wb68lNkVppf4nwcKwTxbSX925fMPRh229HvO-2RRtR71AVYGBTr0DDnhlPYLQz7Gn5yfkSFYIVhlKAXRx9D7KtOw/s320/Pen%25EF%2580%25A2crosshatch.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
These (above examples) were purposely drawn larger to explain the technique.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The more lines and the closer together they are will produce a darker image. The<i> circle</i> above with more lines takes on a three dimensional form.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The vertical lines (lower left corner) are pen nib widths. The two thinnest (far left) are what I used for <i>Circus 1930</i>, koh-i-noor mechanical pen point sizes 4x0 and 6x0.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Never, under any circumstances would I recommend using ink straight from the bottle to represent a black form or object. The solid black circle to the right (above) appears as a hole and does not describe form when combined with cross hatching. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The first inking (below) was to establish the darkest area. This enables me to gauge how intense other shades of grey should be in contrast.</div>

Detail of jumping clown (below right) scaring the wits out of the twin girls who are holding onto Dad for dear life. It's obviously the girl's first circus and they can't handle the clowns, much less this one who has come much too close.</div>

Looking at the composition it appears that this clown is huge. The clown's placement causes an optical illusion. Measured from head to foot the clown only comes up to the girl's father's shoulder. Nothing to fear :-)</div>

At this point my biggest challenge and concern is how do you make an elephant's butt interesting? The rear end is<i> the</i> focal point. The first thing seen as you gaze upon the happenings in the picture. Shades of grey, a triangular shape, character sizes and gestures are all used in directing the eyes into the center of attention...an elephant's derriere :-).<br />

The lion (above) was the very last character to receive his ink. I wanted to capture the look and feel of the lion's skin texture and mane. I had used a 4x0 pen point to this juncture. The finest pen point, koh-i-noor makes is the 6x0 and I had never used that fine a point before. I ordered the 6x0 and waited a week or so for delivery. After practice strokes to build up my confidence in using such a fine pen point, I took on the lion.<br />

Similar illustrations usually take a year to complete, <i>Circus 1930</i> was the exception at about a year and a half. As the saying goes, <i>a labor of love.</i><br />

<b>Story telling</b><br />
My years of training in feature animation exposed me to the story telling process. Illustration is also storytelling. Every detail of an illustration, animation, live action movie or a play, has to be planned and executed properly.<br />
Questions have to be asked in the beginning of the project. Is this the best way to showcase the subject? What are you attempting to communicate? What do you want the eye to focus on? Ae you leading the eye in the proper direction? Are there interesting stories being told within the context of the whole storytelling process? Will the composition stand up from a distance; from midway and up close?...Where is the best placement for a character? What best tells the story of each individual? Is that character drawn in such a way as to convey enough information to make him/her interesting? Are the situations the characters are engaged in entertaining to the viewer?<br />
<br />
These and other questions are asked along the way as the composition builds.<br />
<br />
I treat every character in an illustration as an individual with his or her own story to tell. I put enough drawing information for the viewer to draw their own conclusion. In this way the audience develops an emotional tie to the illustration.<br />
<br />
<i style="font-weight: bold;">"quicksketchillustrationanimation"...</i><br />
Not a real word but a concept I use in teaching and at workshops in an attempt to convey to students the idea that there is overlapping of these three forms of communication. The same principles that apply to one, are applicable to the other two.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The list...</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
This list compiles the things I look for in a quick sketch, an illustration, and in animation.<br />
Not all apply to the three disciplines in every category, but the majority do. For example...Is the character in balance? Does the character have weight? Is the character in silhouette? Is the anatomy right? Does it read from a distance and up close (composition)? Can you tell what is happening? Are you drawn in emotionally? And more...<br />
<br />
In quick sketching and illustration, a story is told in a single drawing. Animation serves up the same set of questions (above), only in motion. In animation, a story is told with a series of individual drawings in an illusion of movement. Your job is to decide, regardless of the medium, how best to communicate the story.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The role of the thumbnail sketch...</b><br />
Thumb nail sketches of Djali (below) the goat from <i>Hunchback of Notre Dame</i> and Dr. Sweet (below right) from <i>Atlantis:the Lost Empire.</i><br />
<br />
These thumb nails are what I refer to as glorified quick sketches, with the purpose of guiding me in planning a scene. Quickly and in miniature I can visualize some of the items on the list. At this juncture silhouette and staging are the most crucial. In the next step, approximate timing is addressed.<br />
<br />
Notice the numbers under the Djali sketches. How much time would take to go from one<i> key </i>pose or drawing to another?<br />
<br />

<b>An example of quickshetchingillustrationanimation in action...</b><br />
<br />
From these quick sketches (below), can you spot how many items on the list apply?<br />
<br />
Anatomy, silhouette, primary/secondary action, positive/negative shapes, squash/stretch etc.<br />
<br />
Any one of these sketches could be used as a preliminary drawing for an illustration; just add the details of a face, number on the uniform, etc.<br />

These quick sketches could also be used as animation poses. In animation these five sketches would be referred to as extreme or <i>key</i> poses. Add drawings between these keys and you have animation. How many drawings there are between the<i> key</i> poses depends on the timing of the scene. The more inbetweens, the slower the action. Less inbetweens will speed up the scene. This is referred to as timing.<br />

<i><b>An idea brought to fruition......</b></i><br />
Decades ago I chose to focus my attention on images of Black Americans of African descent residing in the southern parts of the United States in the 1930's. My Mom furnished me with images of her childhood in Mississippi. Relatives and friends from that region watered my imagination with their stories and an occasional Caucasian would add fuel to the fire of thought describing their impression of the locale. <i>The Funeral</i> (Anatomy of a Circus, Part 1) is an example of one of these discussions.<br />
A colleague at Disney Feature Animation described his trip through the south. The verbal picture he painted was one of people gathered in groups outside a church as he drove by. This was enough for me to get my creative imagination started.<br />

Late 1960s/early 70's I created the pen and ink (below) inspired from a photograph and years later found text that I thought appropriate to mirror the emotional experience. I framed both together.<br />

<b><i><br /></i></b>
<br />
The inspiration for my artwork is typically born of ideas that have been in my mind for years. I'll see a photograph and file the image away in a folder with the thought, "this has potential." It will lay dormant for years in most cases and sit quietly until inspiration and or the right circumstances calls it to the forefront. Over a period of time something will click in my minds eye and the possibilities will start to come together as to what is the best way to present the idea.<br />
<br />
<b>Research...</b><br />
Research is first in order of priority. I learned this from my time at Disney animation.<br />
Knowing the 'real' brings an air of authenticity to your art work. Walt Disney said <i>"Only if he knows the reality of things can he create a fantasy, an illusion or a caricature convincingly".</i><br />
For example, we animators visited the San Diego Zoo in preparation for animating the many animals in <i>The Lion King. </i>I also paid a visit to Disneyland (CA) when they kept small farm animals behind Big Thunder Mountain (present day Star Wars Land) to see live goats for reference in the animation of Djali in <i>Hunchback of Notre Dame.</i><br />
<br />
Additionally, I traveled to Montana in 1999 to observe elk in their natural (winter) in preparation for the animation in the Firebird Suite for<i> Fantasia 2000.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Personal experience...</b><br />
Like many of you, I have personal memories of times at the circus.<br />
As a kid I wandered around property that had been transformed overnight into circus grounds, sat under the big top, seen clowns and barkers at their booths, stared wide eyed at abnormalities of human and animal nature then referred to as freaks, smelled the musky odor of circus animals and their droppings, ate cotton candy, and rode the Ferris Wheel.<br />
<br />
Along with this first hand knowledge I also had to transport myself into the rural south of the 1930's. Books, magazines and photos of circuses of that era filled the blank spaces in my minds eye.<br />
Circus clothing of that era would add authenticity to the piece. Circus apparel, like all fashion have gone through changes throughout the years. Clown attire and make-up has also morphed over the years. These observations must be reflected in the illustration. Watching the Turner Classic Movie (TCM) channel gave me insights of how fabrics and textures were handled for black and white film and for my purpose, to translate black ink on white paper.<br />
<br />
<b>Let's start dissecting Circus 1930...</b><br />
<br />
What comes to mind when the word <i>circus</i> is thought of?...A parade of characters advertising what is within the big top...exotic animals...clowns:big and small...people:big and small...animals: dressed up and trained...a Ferris Wheel...a strong man...unicycle riders...and more.<br />
<br />
The circus setting is the backdrop, the people are the real story.<br />
What is the best way to communicate their stories? What is the best way to communicate this idea?<br />
A series of 'thumbnail' sketches will answer these questions as well as spawn new ideas of presentation. This is the same process used in planning an illustration or animated scene (see above thumb nail sketch).<br />
<br />
Planning keeps mistakes to a minimum ensuring nothing happens by accident.<br />

The illustration will eventually be 23" x 29". Proportional dimensions of the illustration board are drawn in (rectangle shape below). This will help me visualize the composition.<br />

These thumbnail sketches (below), properly referred to as<i> primo pensieri or 'first thoughts'</i> are my first thoughts sketched on paper. The elephant (below) will play a major part in this illustration. All other characters would revolve around him.<br />
<br />
The question is what would be the best way to present this species of pachyderm?...walking towards, left to right or away from view or maybe doing a hand stand? should the animal be a baby or adult and offspring?<br />
<br />
An early idea, which I thought entertaining, was to have a clown being pulled along as he held on to the elephant's tail.<br />

Originally the strong man was to be carrying a tiger.<br />
(A man carrying a full grown lion is no stretch of the imagination. The image is based upon a 1930's photograph of a female circus performer with a tiger draped on her shoulders, only she faced the camera. If a female could do it, surely the circus strong man could.)<br />

When I put a piece of my artwork on display in public, it is a habit of mine to stand at a distance and observe the individuals and groups of people that gather to look...and look closer. Some, even with noses pressed to the glass to finely inspect the line strokes. At times, ten or more minutes are spent by the viewer carefully scrutinizing the actions, body language, facial features and all the fine points missed at their first glance. Then I will take the opportunity to walk over and introduce myself and great conversations concerning the artwork follows.<br />
<br />
The viewers will bombard me with a host of questions...how long did it take you?...is that pencil?...what kind of pen(s) did you use?...did you copy an old photograph?...where did the idea for that come from?... and on and on.<br />
<br />
Using my latest pen and ink piece,<i>"Circus 1930"</i> as an example, I will answer these questions and more plus add insights into the thought process behind the construction that lead to completion. <br />
<br />
<b>The foundation forged in Monrovia, CA....</b><br />
I was nine years old when I began to draw in pen (ball point pen) though my earliest drawing experience takes me back to four years of age. At that age I remember placing wax paper over comic book covers to copy the image. My wife says I've got one of those "elephant never forgets" memories:- ). I do remember important stuff like this 'first' for me.<br />
<br />
Dated 1962, these sketchbook images have survived almost six decades.<br />
<br />
At age twelve, using a quill pen dipped in an ink bottle, I copied Karl Hubenthal's sports cartoons that appeared in the Los Angeles Examiner newspaper, various artists of Mad magazine and photos in sports and Hot Rod magazines.<br />

(right) In the Pacific Ballroom of the Statler Hotel at the 22nd annual Gold Key Scholastic Awards Presentation, I was awarded a Gold Key (on the right, with gold key hanging below the plaque).<br />
<br />
The piece went on to New York in the national <i>Scholastic Art Awards </i>project sponsored by Scholastic Magazine and I was awarded a plaque for pen and ink drawing.<br />
<br />
<br />
My art teacher, <b>Ms Dorothy Clemmons</b> kicked me out of class (which I
deserved and is another story all it's own) shortly after I completed the artwork. The plaque award came months
later in my senior year 1968.<br />

Ms Clemmons was an important influence in my artistic career. She was the first to encouraged me (and other students) to carry a sketchbook. Taking that sound advice has opened up many artistic doors of opportunity and 52 years later, I still carry a sketch book.<br />
<br />
My career at Disney Studios Feature Animation started in 1975 and as consuming as animation can be in all its aspects, I continued to work in pen and ink outside the studio.<br />
<br />
Around 1987 I did a series of pen and ink pieces that generated an interest in others who wanted to own a piece of my work. Not wanting to part with original artwork (at least not yet) I decided to have copies made. The first copies were made by a printer who had no idea of how to present art and neither did I.<br />
<br />
At an art show I overheard a lady complaining about the "...cheap paper..." my artwork was printed on.<br />

A quest for better paper to print my art on led me to the Josephine Press in Santa Monica, CA and owner John Greco who knows the artistry of reproducing fine art.<br />
<br />
John does it the old fashioned way.<br />
<br />
I don't know all the technical stuff, but this is what John told me to do. First - Have my the artwork transferred to a metal plate. So, I dropped the artwork off at a company that did that. A few days later I picked up a metal plate that had the background eaten away with some type of acid solution leaving my ink lines raised and untouched.<br />

Then I deliver the metal plate to Santa Monica where John G puts the metal plate on the press, hand inks the metal plate, lays the inked plate on a piece of top grade paper on and 'hand pulls' the wheel that applies pressure to the paper and a print appears. Each print completely <i>"Unique"</i> as he explained...for only two would be rolled and printed before applying ink again and depending on the pressure and amount of ink each time, no two prints are exactly alike.<br />

In those days (1980's) I used a quill pen and bottle of ink resulting in a thicker line width and some pen point inconsistency (wearing down of the pen point) and an occasional splatter due to the nature of the pen nib. <br />
<br />
The last decades I have switched to mechanical pens which give a consistent line width and allows me more flexibility.<br />
<br />
Because of the finer line quality, I now have giclee (z-clay) print copies made of my artwork. <br />
Further anatomy to come :- ) <br />

<b>The game of football is one of my favorite activities to quick sketch.</b><br />
Whether flag, Pop Warner, high school, college or pro,<b> </b>the bodies in motion are a sketchers dream.<br />
<b></b><br />
Professional football is especially challenging and rewarding. Twenty-two bodies, coaches, a chains crew, photographers, radio and television crews, reporters, referees and more in motion simultaneously.<br />
<br />
My eyes are on the football or anticipating where the ball might be going or who even has it...oops, the ball is fumbled and a mad unscheduled tussle for possession of it ensues...and on and on the game plays out presenting an endless array of possibilities to sketch.<br />
<br />
<b>What subjects do I choose to sketch in a 60 minute game?</b><br />
<br />
A few of things I think about before I put pen to paper: <i>solid drawing, </i>is the sketch in proportion and anatomically correct for body type; <i>silhouette value,</i> being mindful that the negative shapes are just as important as the positive shapes, can the sketch be easily <i>'read',</i> can you tell what is going on, what action is taking place and most importantly, is capturing the <i>body language</i> of the athletes and participants by answering the question, what is the body communicating?<br />
<br />
Quickly in a few lines, my goal is to produce a sketch that is infused with an intangible element, making the sketch fun to look at... <i>eye candy</i> is what I call it.<br />
<br />
<b>Analyzing the sketch below:</b> Proportion says "I'm a big man", Silhouette says "I'm even bigger spread out", Negative space between the legs says "I'm walking with a positive gait, long stride with elbows back meaning my chest is thrust forward and "I am definitely a force to be dealt with on the field of play"...did I capture that?...you be the judge:- ) <br />

I have a chapter devoted to sketching football in my book,<i> Quick Sketching with Ron Husband (Revised and Expanded).</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
The restraints of writing a book (deadlines, page count, editing etc.) caused me to condense the information and images so I'm addressing some additional things here. My blog is more personal and I get to elaborate more:-).<br />
<br />
<b>The personal touch... </b><br />
If you have a personal interest in an experience, it is easier to relate yourself to it. A writer for example can 'connect' to the piano player that is being written about if the writer plays the instrument. Even more in depth can the article be if there is a personal relationship between the writer and the person being written about. Having played the game of football adds to my passion in capturing the actions and activities in pen line. An added bonus are the inroads that others have contributed to my sketching adventures.<br />
<br />
One of the 'others' who have contributed to my appreciation of the game is my life long friend Wayne Nunnely. We grew up in Monrovia CA, played for the Monrovia High Wildcats on Friday nights and then, some years later, the Owls of Citrus Junior college. We also both received scholarships to represent the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels on Saturdays.<br />

Wayne fulfilled his dream of becoming a football coach, retiring after some 36 years making stops at UNLV, USC, and UCLA among others along his college path and professionally in New Orleans,(Saints), San Diego (Chargers), and Denver (Broncos). It was while Wayne was in San Diego, for over a decade, that we reunited and I had opportunity to see him coach the San Diego Charger defensive linemen while I sketched from the bleachers.<br />
<br />
<i>(At times my descriptions of action and players will get detailed. The reason is that some readers of this blog are international (France, Canada, Germany, Nigeria, Singapore, United Kingdom, Indonesia, Netherlands, Russia, China, Japan, Ukraine, Switzerland, India, Australia, Egypt and more) where the terminology of American football is not well known. Even here in America up until the 1800's the words block and tackle were used to describe (farming) equipment:-)</i><br />
<br />
<b>Chronicling a day of sketching professional football...</b><br />
<br />
My game day would start with an early drive to San Diego, accompanied by wife LaVonne , a friend or my son-in-law, Johann. And then a stop at 'will call' to pick up tickets Wayne had left and a note to meet him at "gate F-1" after the game.<br />
<br />
<b>Observation is a must before quick sketching...</b><br />
<br />
Being an early bird gives me the time to observe the fans, stadium workers, referees, players warming up and any others pregame festivities such as...<br />
<br />
Photographers getting ready for their best shot of the game (below)... <br />

There is as much action to sketch in the stands as there is on the field. Some prefer to watch the game nonchalantly or give a pleasant 'high five' for a positive play(above).<br />
<br />
Others get more involved with their team, especially after a imbibing a little alcohol :-)<br />
Body language will let you know whether their team scored, made a first down or they disagree with the referees call. <br />

Look for silhouette and the extreme thrusting hand/arms in the air in triumph. <br />

<b><i> Death</i></b> in this title is not as morbid as it may sound:- ) these sketches are my observations as a spectator of the rituals at funerals, home going services, memorial services, reflections of life, whatever people choose to call these occasions.<br />
When I first started sketching at these evens I felt a little self conscience, after all they are somewhat somber gatherings, with a tear shed and often times laughter as the full array of emotions are on display.<br />
My self awareness was eased somewhat as I thought of some of the published photos of funeral services that came to mind: Emmett Till's open casket that helped launch the civil rights movement, Moneta Sleet, Jr.'s iconic photo of a weeping Coretta Scott King and family, to the televised services of some 'pop' celebrity and my own observations of family, friends and loved ones with camera/smart phones snapping away or making a video of the services.<br />
<br />
So, why not me...after all I'm not trying to instigate something or create some memorable piece of art. Just do what I've always done, carry a sketch book at all times and record body language and the emotions associated with them on paper in an entertaining, eye appealing way.<br />
<br />
<b> My equipment in hand...sketchbook and pen. </b><br />
Funerals being what I consider a <i>'special'</i> occasion (weddings, anniversaries, birthday's, party's in general fit this description) require better looking sketchbooks.<br />
My regular sketchbooks get pretty ragged and as LaVonne would say <i>"tacky"</i> looking after a week or two of use from my pen.<br />
I carry better looking sketchbooks to match my attire and the event being sketched.<br />
<i>(See Quick Sketching with Ron Husband or the Revised and Expanded version page 333.) </i><br />

As always, sketchbook in hand while most others sit quietly, whisper
softly or look at their watches waiting for the service to begin, I am
observing (first law of a quick sketcher) the people in my line of view.<br />

Outdoor service (above) as the attendants were short handed and got the services of a grounds worker (hard hat) to help them carry the casket to the location.<br />
Added bonus, a lady nearby clears a grave marker of debris on a somewhat warm afternoon.<br />

<b>The view...</b><br />
Most interesting to me is the attendees viewing of the inhabitant of the casket.<br />
The body language of the viewer, a tilt of the head combined with a long or sometimes short parting look is observed.<br />
<br />
Capturing that somber moment in pen is the challenge...can you put text to the body language?<br />

<b><i>Life...</i></b><br />

<b>08/12/19...</b><br />
Decades ago I started the practice of dating my sketches. This gives me a good idea of when and sometimes where I was on a particular day in the past. Looking at these sketches is like looking through an old photo album. Bringing back pleasant memories and flooding the memory gates of my mind with images of the day and time over a decade ago. <br />
<br />
So, I invite you to take a stroll with me down memory lane. These sketches speak for themselves and as the saying goes, <i>"one picture is worth a thousand words."</i><br />
<br />
<b>Sketch dated 6/15/03...</b><br />
In a hospital in Encino, CA my wife LaVonne keeping our daughter Melissa company awaiting the birth of grand child Reese. <br />

If anybody asked Reese where was she was on a certain day and time in her distant past, she could look at Grampys sketches and answer confidently <i>"I was asleep on..."</i></div>

Greatly blessed to record in line these images of my grandchild Reese (now going on sixteen). These images help me explain my observations of stages in her life from an artist point of view and not a camera lens. Emphasizing again the importance of always carrying a sketch book and being ready to sketch in it. </div>

<i>As those who know me are aware, </i>I make it a prerequisite to carry a sketchbook everywhere my travels lead me.

Artists like myself with an interest in sketching humans and animals are not only concerned with drawing a walk for example; but we also paying attention to <i>how</i> they walk, stand, gesture etc. This <i>understanding</i> comes from observation and analyzing what takes place when the body is in motion or stationary.</div>

As I observe, I ask myself, "<i>what</i> forces are in place when a foot comes off the ground," "<i>when </i>does the body shift to keep its balance', "<i>how</i> do opposite limbs react while in motion," and "<i>where</i> is the drag and follow through of clothing most evident?" </div>

If this reads like a chapter in my book <i>(Quick Sketching with Ron Husband Revised and Expanded) </i>it is. I "practice what I preach," as the old saying goes and I wouldn't steer you anywhere I haven't been. I encourage you to be more observant of those around you. It is important as artists to take advantage of observing life (movement) all around us. </div>

I have the good fortune of being a grandparent who has contact with my grand kids and the triple blessing of them being around long enough, on occasion, to observe them, analyze their actions and take notes in sketches of my children's children. Observation, analyzing and taking notes sounds like a science project and I suppose in a way utilizing them helps me make a better sketch. Here are some examples:</div>

What happened to me in Las Vegas 46 years ago caught up with me on the evening of April 2, 2019 in the <i>'city that never sleeps'.</i><br />
<br />
I attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on a scholarship
(football), as a student I got married there (LaVonne, 47 years and counting) and
earned my degree (BA) in art there.<br />
<br />
What the Lord enabled me to accomplish since I left Las Vegas is what brought me back to Las Vegas. <br />
<br />
On
that evening UNLV inducted me (and three others) into their Fine Arts
Hall of Fame in an unforgettable ceremony.<br />
<br />
<b>Here is the occasion captured in pictures... </b><br />
<br />
Chauffeured to the entrance to the UNLV Student Union Ballroom with
friends Donnie and Carolyn Rosemond who drove up from So Calif to lend
their support.<br />
