An exquisite sequence of rough animation drawings is currently being offered at Heritage Auctions. Animator Marc Davis was a master of combining a bold graphic style with graceful motion in the service of personality. While actress Helene Stanley's live-action reference footage provided a crucial foundation, Davis made necessary creative adjustments to successfully translate a series of photostats into poetic, balletic movements. Through caricature, contrasting timing, and exaggerated weight, he transformed reference into pure graphic action, making scenes like this one a profound joy to watch.
