A few posts back I wrote about the challenges some cel inkers and painters might have had when dealing with Milt Kahl scenes.
It was in fact Cherie Miller who gave me this bit of information. In this photo she is working on a Madame Medusa cel from a scene when Medusa threatens Snoops and Penny.
The character's lips were painted painstakingly on top of the cel while all other colors were added on the back as usual. You can see from the sketchy drawing that decisions had to be made as to where exactly a particular color area ends, against which line?

did you have similar issues with Mushka? Maybe with a smaller team it's easier because they could just ask you! and of course it's much easier to change something digitally
ReplyDeleteYes, we had similar issues, because of the loose line work. So each shape needed to be colored in with a stylist, like using a crayon. Luckily my friend Ambrosio was super fast doing this.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they have to paint the lips on top? Amd how did they handle the parts shaded in, like the mouth or eye shadow etc? Would those need to be painted on top too?
