Birthday Card Mickey

My wife and kids got me a birthday card with this drawing of Mickey Mouse on it.

Disney #21 - Sorcerer's Apprentice

This is from a storyboard drawing of Mickey as the sorcerer's apprentice from the animated feature Fantasia (1940).

Disney #18 - Pluto & Mickey

This drawing is of Pluto & Mickey Mouse from the storyboard for the cartoon "Society Dog Show" (1939)

Disney #14 - Tired Mickey

After a long week I thought this drawing of a tired Mickey Mouse summed things up pretty well.

Disney #10 - Skating Mickey

This drawing is from the cover of Mickey Mouse Magazine #4 from 1935. Like my earlier "Surprised Mickey" post, I've included the initial pencil drawing, inked drawing, and the final photoshopped version so you can see my drawing in process.

Disney #8 - Surprised Mickey

I've included the pencil draft, inked, and final photoshopped images so you can see how the "Surprised Mickey" drawing progressed.

I'm not sure what this image originally came is from, other than it was in the corner of my animated Disney desk calendar for the week of February 6-12. Regardless, I think it's a pretty funny Mickey picture.

Disney #3 - Mickey Mouse (Fishin' Around)

Most of the images from the Disney Archive Series: Story book are pencil sketches from storyboards for various Disney cartoons. Here is my rendition of a storyboard drawing from the 1931 cartoon "Fishin' Around". I find it funny that I have a hard time with Mickey's head and ears when it's essentially just 3 circles.
