Disney Animators Study Their Reflections In The Mirror To Draw Their Characters Right

The sight of these legendary professionals form the 1950s and later sitting at their tables as they leer and glare at themselves will definitely bring a smile to your face, so take a look!

I feel like most of these shots were totally set up. In some photos they are making faces that are completely inaccurate to the face they us

They're using their facial expressions as a general reference for their characters.

It’s also great to see the guys behind the characters. And their drawing tables - wished I could turn my screen with a circle like that ;-)

Not legit, your description does not match all the photos. I saw bugs bunny, Fred Flintstone and tom which is not Disney.

You seriously need to change the title of your photoset if you're gonna include H&B, and WB.
