Don Bluth : The Hippopotamus

[@Groth1175]

The construction is so light, so much control.. I draw like a caveman with a burnt stick!

Thank you so much for this, Don, and for sharing your expertise with new animators. I love that you're doing that, it's great to have the advice of such a veteran.

Thanks for posting this, I love seeing a fellow artist at work with a drawing. I think the reason we artist turn animals in to human is because we love to see what kind of character we can make form it, and give it a personality we can relate to, Plush animals are fun to draw. Thats pretty much what I do when I created and animal characters.

Reminds me of Louis from "Princess and the Frog".

[@Skidddog]

This is great stuff.. you are probably my biggest inspiration for starting to draw.. haha..

[@Grynomite44]

I think artists turn animals into humans because it's simply fun. I'm sure drawing and animating mrs. brisby was lots of fun.

Hi' I just ordered the whole set last week. I'm looking forward to recieving it. (Buffalo NY). I'm very honor to learn from one of my favorite animators.

Thanks

Awesome video!

[@GuineaPigDan]

A cowboy painting hippo... That's a pretty eccentric looking character. It would've been neat to see him in one of your movies. He should be right up there with that big lipped alligator from All Dogs Go to Heaven! What equipment do you use to hold the camera over your drawing board? I'd like to do some drawing tutorials myself.

[@PurplePath]

Awesome videos! Trying and learning to be animator, and i love 2D animation made by just pencil and paper.

[@dragonheadthing]

Thanks a lot for the video!

[@Dalen77]

this is really cool seeing you draw it would be great too if we could see you animate a would be scene for a movie but do it partly on time lasp so you could take your time, by the way anybody notice how in Princess and the frog the aligator looks alot like the gator in Alldogs go to heaven, hmmm.
