Frank Thomas' Lady

A beautiful character layout sketch of Lady is being offered currently at Heritage Auctions. Frank Thomas drew this lovely pose of Lady as he was planing the scene. The size of the character, the camera fielding etc.

Her concerning attitude is toward Jock and Trusty. Lady explains her hurt feelings when her human owners start to treat her differently than before. A baby is on its way.

As you can see here, Frank worked on his drawings in order to get the right emotion while defining the proper anatomy of a cocker spaniel. Absolutely Beautiful!

  2. Hi Andreas,

    I hope this message finds you well. I’m fairly sure you remember me—I was a CalArts student during the 2002–2006 era, and we’ve crossed paths a few times here on your blog and at various animation events. A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of saying hi to you at Priscilla’s Coffee in Burbank—my favorite spot! It was great to see you, and I’m so glad to see you’re doing well after your amazing run at Disney.

    I was wondering if I could send you a more personal letter. If you’d be open to it, I’d love for you to reach out to me at michael2d81@gmail.com. Of course, if you prefer correspondence through a fan mail address or another method, I’d be happy to follow that route instead.

    Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful week.

    Warmly,
    Mike

  3. Hi Andreas, I'm wondering if you can tell me who lent the voice of the Scotch terrier that appears in 101 Dalmatians
