I guess once he's drawn the characters a few thousand times, he can more or less wing the proportions and get them right.
-
if you think this is intimidating to watch, imagine being his clean-up artist and having to take those masterpieces and translate them in the best way possible whilst retaining the same energy he had in the original!

@monsteraaron I think this was really due to his health, as it deteriorated in later years. He actually had a heart attack shortly before working on Tangled & had to step back from directing. Unfortunately not all of us have the energy and exeubrence of some animators like Richard Williams (nearly 80) lol.

boy, if i didnt feel like an inadequate animator before, i sure do now!

@monsteraaron I actually agree with this. The forms and the acting is still great, but the lines swim all over the place.

@Ebrithil hey I don't know if anyone has answered you yet but I will.After looking into it quite a bit myself, I found that Mr. Keane usually uses one of two different pencils.One (the one in the video) is a Grease Pencil (Also known as a China Marker), he used to use a Blaisdell Layout Pencil but they don't produce them anymore. But the Grease Pencil is a modern equivalent. The other he often uses is a Sanford Design Ebony Pencil, they both have large cores, which allows for his broad strokes

what I get from this video: GESTURE DRAWING to capture the movement, THEN make it perfect

Well as he starts to say here: He knows what the model looks like, and he can go over it and literally start rendering it out "on model" ... but it loses that vitality and life that the rough had. So that he'll do instead, is be a little bit looser about it - concentrate on the flow of the forms, the lines of action - and allows the "on model" drawing to be a bit "off model" but it feels alive! It's a hard thing to explain and I'm really bummed the video cut off. It looked 100% better.
