Ollie Johnston in his own Words

I am going to post a few comments by Walt Disney artists that were originally published in an issue of Storyboard Magazine from 1993. The topic is mostly about their relationship with Walt.

At the time these essays were submitted to the magazine by the artists, and as far as I know are unedited.





Ollie drew these charming sketches at his home in Flintridge around 1963.

  2. I could've used this article when I was writing my university dissertation... Still, very interesting to read Ollie's words. And to see his lovely sketches.

    1. Sorry, I don't have any. I believe there are some pencil tests on the Roger Rabbit Bluray, in the bonus section.

  5. There is so much more than black and white...

    Beautiful ink-drawings!
    When I saw them I aked myself if Ollie Johnston drew them when he was ill. But he was too ill to drew them...

    Ink-drawing.
    Last Thursday I went with my daughter to the Keith Haring Exhibition in Folkwang Museum in Essen (a town in Germany).
    We watched on TV Keith Hearing walking over his picture to draw a line. My daughter and I were very fascinated how straight the line was he drew.
    To draw with ink can be very difficult.
