One of the factors that allowed me to learn cartooning was the fact that I would copy anything Disney. I copied all kinds of Disney characters. I drew Disney princesses, Duckburg Ducks, Dopey, Lady and the Tramp, Goofy, Mickey, and Tinkerbell. This is not complete list. Now, I know copying is plagiarism. I know I will never make these characters my own. But Disney taught me to draw. I picked up on many Disney techniques. Walt Kelly eyes… rubber hose arms… child-faces… cartoon animals… eagles… Well, here’s a sample of my bald-faced thievery of Disney ideas.
