BILL PEET'S DRAWINGS |
||
| Many more drawings may be found on other pages on this site. As you will see, he used a variety of media, including pastels, China markers (grease pencil), graphite pencil, and even ball point pen. The final illustrations for his books were done with colored pencils and India ink with a nib pen. When he had an idea, he grabbed whatever was at hand, such as an old envelope or a piece of cardboard, but it was usually one of his small notebooks. His life drawings were not included here. Caricatures of people Bill knew at Disney studios are on the Disney People page. | ||
| The illustrations for Bill Peet's first 12 books were made using a technique called Color Separation. | Directly below are some sketches for a series of never completed animal portraits.
