Original Animation Flowers for my Love Drawing Popeye
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 seriesOriginal Animation Drawing- multi-layer with matching sheets on each pageOriginal "rough" drawing that is in black pencil, with the notations in blackOverall size is a 12-field drawing that is 10 1/2" x 12 1/2"Very good condition; drawing is missing Popeye's mouthTraditional 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.
