Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Original Production
Grumpy Layout
Drawing by animator legend
Bill Tytla
"Hah,
women!"
Disgruntled by Snow White's request to clean up before
supper, Grumpy walks out of the cottage, as seen in this layout drawing crafted masterfully by Bill Tytla (1904 -
1968), one of the most renowned animators in Disney history.
Rendered in graphite with colored pencil, this layout drawing
was done to plan for the scene at the 42:28 mark of Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs
when
Grumpy exits through the door until he sits disgruntled on
the barrel,
includes a detailed layout drawing of the outside area of
the dwarfs' cottage.
This incredible drawing is a spectacular
demonstration of Bill Tytla's great skills, not only in planning
for the spatial positioning of the dwarf but also in his body
language that communicates without dialogue exactly how Grumpy feels
about washing before supper.
Images like these, displaying Tytla's
great eye for motion and gesture, show us why Tytla was one of the
first animators assigned to work on the iconic Disney animated
film!
The layout drawing was created in colored pencil on 12-field
5-peghole animation sheets, showing normal age-related toning.
In EXCELLENT condition with minor handling and edge wear from
production.
