[@TaylorGessler]

I Just got hired as an animator at Disney ! Love your podcast.

[@red_1455]

I would love some advice, I’m currently in high school sophomore year and I too want to work at Disney animation studios.

[@TaylorGessler]

_Red_1_ Awesome! If you want to be an animator, I recommend Animation Mentor. If you want to be an artist, study life drawing and study all the great artists from Disney past and present. Work hard and have fun!

[@red_1455]

@@TaylorGessler I’ve heard of that I’ll look into it

[@slppy6320]

I’d love advice as well! I’m a freshman in highschool and I draw character designs digitally, is there anything I could start now to help get me dream job, as a Disney animator?

[@nickmarsala3787]

Omg that's amazing! What was the process like getting hired? What did they look for? What advice can you give me? Is the location out in Burbank California?

[@arjaez4908]

Animators should display walk/run cycles. Some acting, gestures and of course some good art.

[@jiraiyaapprentice5733]

Marshall really know his stuff, the two books he mentioned are essential! I respect this man so much! He the best role model for all artists 👏👏👏

[@unfunnyjester1428]

I always learn so much watching or listening to these

[@sytharsenal]

Ikr, this should have a million views

[@crapperplays8381]

[@darnieceking]

Congrauds 🎊🎉

[@wabbitwu1847]

This is my dream one day and I’ll do my best to get this job as I’m going to study hard on how to animate during my high school years

[@fenrir-art4742]

Best to go to different animation system or make your own thing if Disney continues to mess around.

[@shakeemwinn3647]

I don't want to be an Disney Animator or any animation company man. However, I do want to continue to learn from the best so my films can kick complete ass!

[@ItachiUchiha-gf4fz]

I have a random question. How do you see polygons on any object? Because I'm studying Loomis method and I'm stuck with the polygon's head. I don't want to just copy the entire page 30 of Head & Hands by Andrew Loomis without getting his idea of thinking that the head I am drawing is in a 3D plane rather than a 2D plane.

[@cannonsmith157]

Bruh everybody sees the same thing but you gotta just keep drawing and observing and your brain will eventually be like yo i get this shit. For me it helps to draw without reference after a lot of drawing with it.. i feel like it forces me to understand the shapes more, otherwise i wont be able to put it on paper

[@liyacarolyn6055]

try to draw cylinder or egg as polygons, than add nose to them, than draw egg with nose and cut planes for eyes. try to build it up gradually. Try this method in different angles, apply perspective on it

[@ItachiUchiha-gf4fz]

@@cannonsmith157 I got what you mean, I did finally understand it after drawing it every single day. I see the planes so clearly and I knew where it lands now. I have another question, did you draw the face features along drawing the head planes? Because I'm just more focus on the planes. Btw, thank for the advice

[@ItachiUchiha-gf4fz]

@@liyacarolyn6055 got you, I'll make sure to try I mean do that😁 and thank you!

[@CTangeloe]

Proko, if you guys dont mind me askin' when is Marshall's Perspective course slated for? I dont know where to find updates for that...

[@PuppetMaster8707]

Pee Wees Big Adventure was so great also fun fact for those that don't know the Killer Clowns from Outer Space masks they reused in Ernest Scared Stupid

[@Matt-oz4co]

My dream of working for Disney died a long time ago - they're so corrupt now and immoral. There are so many other avenues now to take if you want to be an animator without selling your soul to the woke mob. Do your own thing and create your own path.

[@annien.1727]

Hey, listen. I'm still going to get a job at Disney. About the woke mob, I'm not going to give in to their stupid ideals. I plan to change Disney by creating brilliant anti-woke masterpieces that'll become surefire blockbusters. So my dream of working for Disney is still going strong. I'll NEVER give in!

[@KeeperPlus]

Hey, why was my comment removed? I was just being honest.

[@henrywalworth8249]

What’d you say

[@vallelorum997]

What did you comment?

Hey proko, you might wanna test for corona dude!
