Pencil Test: Virgil Ross Scene From A Hare Grows In Manhattan

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.


Virgil Ross had a sixty year career in animation. He was a friend of mine and let me make flipbooks of some of his favorite scenes of animation. Today, I digitized one and made it into a pencil test. It's a little larger than usual so you can still frame through it and study the action.
