Biography: Bill Tytla Part One
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 4 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great biographies of important artists.
John Canemaker lent us a copy of an article he wrote for an exhibit of artwork by Bill Tytla. Tytla was a giant among animators, known for his solid, dimensional drawings and convincing depiction of weight and mass.
Here is the first part of this fascinating article...

[Disney] noted that in one scene "something was started ...which was what we are striving for . That is, doing things in the dance which humans are unable to do."
Precisely. Yet here we are in 2007 and people who ought to know better running around talking about how motion-capture gives better results than pure animation .
A truly EXCELLENT article, look forward to part 2. Did you ever see the book on Tytla that was recently given a limited publication by Disney? I believe Tytla's widow Adrianne is the author. I wasn't able to get hold of a copy but wondered what it's like?
