Animation Original Great News Art Popeye Drawing
Even though there is no absolute sense of continuity in the stories, * certain plot and presentation elements remain mostly constant, including * purposeful contradictions in Popeye's capabilities. Though at times he * seems bereft of manners or uneducated, * Popeye is often depicted as capable of coming up with solutions to * problems that (to the police, or, most importantly, the scientific * community) seem insurmountable. Popeye has, alternatively, displayed * Sherlock Holmes-like investigative prowess, scientific * ingenuity (as his construction, within a few hours, of a * "spinach-drive" spaceship), or oversimplified (yet successful) * diplomatic argumentation (by presenting to diplomatic conferences his * own existence --- and superhuman strength --- as the only true guarantee * of world peace). Popeye's pipe also proves to be highly versatile. * Among other things, it has served as a cutting torch, jet engine, * propeller, periscope, and, of course, a whistle with which he produces * his trademark toot. * * * * * **The drawing is from the 1950's Popeye television show series * * * I can't wait to tell Olive the great news... * * * Original Animated Drawing- multi-layer with matching drawings on each sheet * Original * "rough" animation drawing, in black with the * notations in blackOverall size is a * 12-field drawing that is 10 1/2" × 12 1/2" * Very good * condition * * * Traditional animation is a multi-step process which includes * various types of art techniques.  Drawings are a key part of * the process, in which the animator creates the design and movement of * the characters.  Drawings are then transferred onto acetate * cels * (by hand-inking and/or photo copying) to create a production * cel, which is then hand painted on the back side, using paint colors * chosen and approved by the creator of the series.  * * * The drawing is ready to be matted and * framed.   The animator's notations * are located at the top of the drawing.
