In each episode of Sketchbook, one of six experienced Disney artists will be the audience’s drawing instructor. While telling their own inspiring personal stories, the artists will give viewers their insider’s perspective into the process of animation and guide them through the process of drawing some of Disney's most beloved characters. Each of the artists will be choosing a single iconic character that they either helped to bring to life or that inspired them to pursue a career in animation at Walt Disney Studios. As the trailer shows, each episode feels like its own intimate masterclass in which the artists impart their wisdom, teach the skill they love, and also play the role of storytellers.
The Disney characters featured in each of the six parts belong to different decades, from as far back as the 1950s to the present day. The audience will be taught to draw Kuzco from The Emperor’s New Grove, Olaf from Frozen, Genie from Aladdin, Captain Hook from Peter Pan, Mirabel Madrigal from Encanto, and young Simba from The Lion King. And by the end of each episode, viewers will have gained a new understanding of how these characters came to life on the screen.
