Learn How to Draw Ratatouille's Chef Skinner

Learn how to draw the tiny terror of Gusteau's kitchen!

BY MICHAEL STEWART

His hat may be almost as tall as he is, but head chef Skinner is a very big

man in the restaurant world (and in the movie Ratatouille). To draw him, all you

need to do is collect the items listed below and follow these steps.

• pencil
• eraser
• black marker or pen
• colored markers, colored pencils or crayons
• graph paper

1. Start your drawing of Skinner with two big circles, like meatballs on a plate.The top circle will form the head and the bottom one will become the belly. Add an eyeline through the middle of the upper circle and lay down a vertical line through both circles to make sure they line up.
2. (Note: In each step, the lines you're adding are shown in blue. Lines drawn in previous steps are black.) A few simple lines will create the shape of Skinner's stubby torso and legs. Draw the
   outline of his humongous chef's hat, making sure that it's almost as big as his whole body.
3. Now's the time to add a neckline to Skinner's shirt. Then sketch his skinny little ankles and the great big feet below them. Erase the lower part of  the center line and you're ready to move on to the next step.
4. Something's got to hold that big hat on Skinner's head, so draw a wide band around its bottom edge. Then begin to sketch in his face, adding ears, eyes, nose and a sour mouth. Finally, sketch the kerchief around the neck, add the top part of the apron and put some detail on the shoes.



5. Add six pleats to the hat and draw the lower part of the
   apron. Next, go back to work on the face,  sketching in the eyebrows, eyelids and pupils. Don't forget the pencil-thin mustache and the lower lip. Finish up by adding tails to the kerchief knot and folds on the sleeves.
6. Give Skinner some big, wide nostrils, bags under the eyes, creases on the cheeks and along the sides of the nose, and little pointy sideburns. Finish the detail on the ears, and the folds in the apron.
7. This is Skinner,so it's never going to be a pretty picture, but once you've got all the details just right, drop your pencil and grab an eraser. Get rid of all the lines you don't want in your final drawing. Now you're ready to add the final ingredient - color.
8. Skinner's hat, shirt and kerchief should be oft-white. Make his apron a grayish-tan color. His
   pants should be light gray, with the checks and socks a slightly darker shade. Color the shoes dark gray. Make the face a fleshy color, leave the eyes white and blacken in the sideburns, mustache, eyebrows and eyelashes. Now this little chef is ready to command his kitchen.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

 

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Disney's Story Behind the Story

INTRODUCTION- July 4, 1862.

During a trip down the Thames with Reverend Robinson Duckworth and math teacher Mr. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Alice Liddell and her sisters insist on hearing a story. So Dodgson invents one about a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole and embarks on an amazing adventure. Little Alice is thrilled with the story and asks Dodgson to write it down in a book.

It takes him two years, but Dodgson finally hands the manuscript over to Alice. It's titled Alice’s Adventures Underground, and it tells of an incredible journey through forests filled with talking mushrooms and flowers while in the company of the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts.

In 1865, the book is published by MacMillan and achieves enormous success. The title has changed - it's now Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - and the author, Dodgson, uses the pen name Lewis Carroll. But the story remains the same. It's an incredible adventure that will change children's literature forever, because this time the story is written from a child's point of view.

Another book is published in 1871: Through the .Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. Even more popular than its predecessor, Carroll's second book introduces characters like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the White Queen, the Red Queen, and Humpty Dumpty.

Lewis Carroll doesn't write any other stories about Alice, but her adventures continue as adaptations are made of Carroll's books: movies, cartoons, musicals, plays, television series, songs, videogames and comic strips.

In 2007, the Walt Disney Studios start working on a new movie inspired by Al ice's adventures. This lime, though, it's not an adaptation. The story starts many years later; when Alice is 19 years old and is about to get married. She thinks that Wonderland and all the characters she met there were a dream, the same dream that has been tormenting her since she was a child. But when she tumbles into the rabbit hole again, she finds herself living the dream once more, and she discovers that nothing is like it was before, not even herself.

It all begins with Linda Woolverton (screenwriter for Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King), who has an idea for updating the famous and beloved character. Then the director arrives: Tim Burton, former in-between artist at Disney and creator of Disney's masterpiece The Nightmare Before Christmas. Poet of the diverse throughout his filmography, Burton is the perfect choice to give shape to the story written by Woolverton.

After her father's death, Alice feels nobody understands her. She feels lost. Only Wonderland will be able to show her the way again.

Disney Channel Premiere Film: Not Quite Human (1987)

Not Quite Human

Dr. Jonas Carson creates an android that looks just like a human 17-year-old boy, and he "adopts" him as his son and as an older brother to Becky, who names him Chip. After the Carsons move to a new town, Chip is enrolled in high school alongside Becky. Dr. Carson also begins teaching science at the school, so he can keep a close watch over his son's progress.

Dr. Carson's former employer, Gordon Vogel, seeks to apprehend Carson's functional android, believing that he is entitled to this advanced technology since it was developed while Carson was under a contract that he didn't fulfill. Vogel has plans to turn Chip into a war-machine military project.

Poster Art of the Disney Parks

Poster Art of the Disney Parks

September 2012

Daniel Handke and Vanessa Hunt

Introduction by Tony Baxter

Anyone who has ever walked through the gates at a Disney Park knows that there is a magical experience waiting to be had on the other side. All of the telltale signs are there: the sound of joyful music pipes across the promenade; the smells of popcorn and cookies waft through the air; and the colorful attraction posters depict all the wonderful rides and shows created for Guests by the Imagineers. Poster Art of the Disney Parks is a tribute to those posters, which begin telling the story of each attraction even before Guests have entered the queue area. Disney attraction posters have been an important means of communication since Disneyland began displaying them in 1956. Not only are they eye-catching pieces of artwork that adorn the Parks with flair and style, they are also displayed to build excitement and disseminate information about the newest additions to the Disney landscape. When the first attraction posters made their debut at Disneyland, one such piece of art proclaimed that Guests could have a "true-life adventure" on the Jungle Cruise. And in 2012 at Disney's California Adventure, a poster announced the grand opening of Cars Land-the newest thrill-filled destination at the Disneyland Resort. Both of those posters are reproduced within this book, along with posters from every decade in between. As evidenced by the evolution of the attraction posters, art styles and design techniques have certainly changed over the years. These characteristics also differ from continent to continent. Posters from Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland exhibit the nuances in presentation that give each Park's pantheon of posters its signature look. But while artistic interpretations and color palettes may vary from Park to Park and from year to year, the spirit of Disney storytelling is a constant that ties them all together.

A lush compendium of posters from Disney theme parks around the globe, along with concept art and lively narrative about the development of the stunning posters!
