Bruce Smith: Facilier PATF #2

I love the simplicity of this test and how the timing is varied on all aspects of Facilier's body. Good Stuff

Ken Duncan: Megara from Disney's Hercules

So I got two emails one from Ken and one for Pedro Daniel Garcia at Sergio's studio about the wonderful Meg tests.  I think most people liked here character because she had a lot of attitude and wasnt a typical "Disney Woman".  These are great.. thanks to Ken for posting these.

Milt Kahl : Medusa #2 from Disney's Rescuers.

Animation of Medusa from the Rescuers.  The Rescuers was released in 1977.  This was the last movie Milt worked on and is another great example of wonderful animation by the master.  You can see another test here that I posted earlier:

OTHER PENCIL TESTS

Hey Guys...

I realized there are some Pencil Tests that have no specific name or label attached.  I am going through the blog and tagging the non-animator specific animations "Other Pencil Tests".

Click the name in the animator list and it will give you the non-specific tests or new names in animation.

Madam Mim Pencil Test!

Animation goodies for April!!

Sergio Pablos: Tantor

I while back I had a few conversations with Sergio Pablos when he came to LA on business and through email. Many would agree that Sergio is one of the best living animators. He is a fan of the Pencil Test Depot and I know there are many fans of his that visit the site. He has graciously donated some of his fantastic work from Tarzan to the site. If you have not been to his site you can go here:

Some people may not know that Sergio created Despicable Me and was a major force behind the characters of Blue Sky's RIO. Visit the site and see the other goodies that him and his team are working on!


Thanks Sergio

...but I thought...New Pencil Tests?....

Hey guys,

Its been a while and I have not posted much. I have many pencil tests that I probably wont be able to post until I retired or something, but I just got a hold of some things that can be shown. One of my colleagues and Dreamworks has given me a bunch of goodies.

Please be patient as I try to squeeze in time to get them prepared.

Pencil Test Depot.....lives on...
