Hi, everyone, I'm Chris Buck, and I'm a director at
Walt Disney Feature Animation. I started as a trainee in 1978 and
worked my way up to Character Animator on my very first film,
The Fox and the Hound. I worked on many films since and I've been
lucky enough to be a director on Tarzan and Frozen 1 and 2.
Today I'm going to show you how to draw one of my favorite
characters from my favorite Disney film, Pinocchio.
Okay,
we're gonna draw Pinocchio
and I am going to start by giving myself
this box. It helps give me some guidelines and break it down
into thirds.
And then kind of the first two thirds of it
are his
it's gonna be his cranium. And then the bottom third, more like
his cheek, his cheek area.
Okay, rough that out sort of to where the centerline is, the head and
the cheek
you can even
start to put the
ear in a little bit
and
start
to put his
just part of his body. We're just drawing his head today and
his shoulders.
He has a very expressive
face.
And
we can also rough in, start to rough in his hat
kind of signature hat that he's got.
And maybe even throw the feather in right now.
Got his hair, the side of his hair got shock of hair up here comes
out from under the hat.
And as you can see I'm drawing over
the whole thing,
the whole at one time I keep going back and forth,
making sure that
things are all sort of working together.
Okay, now we've got this
centerline here that's helping us show where the nose is going
to go.
And this is where the nose sort of inserts
and I haven't drawn the whole nose yet and then
We've got to start to
rough in the eyes
that are right around that nose.
Even the eyebrow, little eyebrow above the eye.
And now let's start to
rough in more of the nose
and
mouth.
Okay,
before we go too far,
let's get the pupils in there.
Start to see what we've got with the pupils
where he's looking probably looking down at Jiminy.
Okay,
now let's go back and,
go under his
gonna bring this cheek in a little bit
and add a little tongue,
there, lower lip.
Just subtly put that in there.
And
okay
let's tie this down... not tie, not going to tie down yet.
I'm gonna actually put a
bow tie on him
for his signature bow tie of
Pinocchio, kind of floppy thing. Just cute.
And let's figure out more of the
the hat
and it kind of curves down well I drew it straight before just to
give myself where it might be, where it would land.
Now,
we're going to actually build the hat a little bit
better
and how that wraps around the head,
a little brim there,
Add the feather,
a little more
dimension with that,
we've got this band
that comes down on the hat,
wraps around it
There's parts of the hat, kind of separate parts that really wrap around
and fit on his head
snugly.
Alright, let's go ahead and
tie him down.
See what we got
I'm gonna start with the nose and the eyes.
Let's get that mouth going, cute cheek
A little bit inside of his mouth.
More cheek area here.
Lower lip.
Fix that a little bit,
I got a little carried away.
Okay, it's a little better.
Hi ear, his hair, his neck,
again the tie, kind of filling that in.
Got a cute shock of hair
popping out.
Pinocchio is a really, really cute character has a lot of round
shapes to him.
Much like Mickey.
Mickey, very appealing very
round kind of shapes, and Pinocchio's
in that same place.
And darken a little more,
So there
you've got
going to make them a little bit bigger.
I'll tell you what, I'm bringing that cheek down a little bit, so
it's not
sticking out too much,
And one more pass at the eyes.
All right. I think we're close.
There we go. You got Pinocchio. One of my favorite
characters, my favorite film
of all time before that, I'm going to fix this before we go.
That's a little too much.
I'm gonna fix that too.
I don't know why I went that crazy right there.
Okay guys.
There's Pinocchio
have fun drawing him!
He's a cute character, one of the classic ones and
have a ball.
