From the most recent Spline Doctors podcast, Richard Williams on how he could tell the work of Ken Harris from other WB animators-
“He drew in little flicks…the nose of the coyote was squarer…”

Now a friend of mine used to make fun of me because I could pick out certain girls I danced with by only looking at the way they pointed their feet. I would gladly suffer all his slings and arrows if I could only figure out how to tune my powers of observation strongly enough to recognize an animator’s work by the way he draws a nose. Which Richard Williams could do by the time he was 12. If I drew you a picture of my ego right now it would look like a dried little raisin.  Not even a golden raisin, just one of the normal brown kind.

Also, the Spline Doctors podcasts are a treasure trove. Go to iTunes right now and subscribe if you aren’t already signed up because a new episode should be coming out soon.
