Hand Painted and Hand
Inked limited edition cels
Up until 1961 with the production of 101
Dalmations, cels were hand inked
as well as
being hand- painted. However from that year on, Ub Iwerks
and
the Xerox Corporation began using a mechanical
technique to transfer
the line work from drawings onto
cels, thus bypassing the need for
hand- inking. Yet at
the Ink and Paint Department of Disney a dedicated
team
still use the techniques of yesteryear by Hand-inking a
small
selection of Limited Edition cels. Some of these
stunning pieces of art
can be seen below. |
