Sketch Digital The Sword in the Stone

Since we are still in the sketchy era of Disney animation, I bring you two new sketches this week!

And no, I’m not being lazy!  These will eventually have color, and will be revealed at the end of the sketch period. 

Above, you see a very young Arthur, already crowned as king.  I love the image that Disney created when he wore the robe that was much too big for him.  It clearly shows how small Arthur felt when given such an important and daunting position.  He hadn’t grown into his robe yet!

Below, is my personal image of how Merlin met the highly educated owl.  I mean, really, how did those two become partners?  Knowing the scatter-brain that is Merlin, I like to think that a mother owl nested her young in that crazy beard of his.  Out popped Merlin’s sidekick, whom he wonderfully named Archimedes.

My little story might be wrong, but who cares?!  Let me have my own imagination : )
