Happy 43rd Anniversary to our first film, "The Secret of NIMH." And to all those fabulous artists that made it possible. Thinking about it now, remembering how we were all so very innocent. It was such a magical time, and something that I will always cherish. - Don

Here is the same test from yesterday’s post just slower. Now you can see the frames clearly!
This is my first “run cycle” pencil test I did while learning from @DonBluth back in 2009. As you can see, practically no details have been added, it’s the construction of the character only. As I was taught, start with the believably of the motion, and ask myself does the…
