More model sheets from the Amby Paliwoda collection. Although Amby was a Disney animator, he was very active in the Screen Cartoonists Union and the U.S. Army animation division during the 40's. It's probably there were he ran into the M.G.M. animation crew who gave him these classic sheets. Enjoy.

Amby Paliwoda worked at Walt Disney's from 1935 to 1960. No doubt for Amby as a young recruit in the early thirties there was plenty of model sheet reference from earlier and present productions. These following examples are from some of the shorts preceding the production of Snow White in 1937, his first feature. You can imagine my eyes popping out of my head when he presented me with these in the 70's as a young teenage assistant animator. I was taking copious notes and working on building up some major pencil milage!
I have a few model sheets given to me by Disney animator Amby Paliwoda back in the 70's. Amby started working at Disney during the Three Little Pigs and stayed there for 25 years. I started my career as Amby's assistant at Duck Soup Produckions in the 70's doing various commercials spots. I'll be posting a few from time to time.
