Renowned artist Carl Barks first applied for a position with the Disney Studio in late 1935. He would go on to have a long career and great success with his Donald Duck comics. Yet back in the beginning, he was young and unknown. With hopes of landing a job, he submitted two drawings to demonstrate his ability--both were Snow White-themed--though nothing like what would eventually be seen in the motion picture. Medium: ink and blue watercolor over graphite. Image areas 11.25" x 8".
Snow White with the dwarfs.
Snow White caught by a giant; five of the dwarfs look to save her.
The two illustrations did the trick! He landing a job as an "in-betweener" in the animation
department. In an
earlier Archive entry, see the drawings he created for gag suggestions to be used in the
Snow White film.
