Disney Cruise Sketchbook

 

I also took my sketchbook on our Disney cruise. I used the same one as I did two years ago. I love that the ship as these "Learn to Draw" sessions. They aren't as in depth as the Animation academy classes at Disney World or California Adventure but still fun. They have a host and the host puts up a white board with 5-6 step outs of the character and then they show a video of an illustrator. I think his name is Ron Lot. The only issue is the angles and you can see the detail as well as the down facing camera that they have on the animation academy illustrators. So you kinda have to fill in the blanks a little. But I need to go off in my own direction a bit anyways.

The host tells us to take pictures of the illustrations of the characters that are floating around us on the screens so I take a photo of pinnochio and draw him later.

I highly recommend the Fantasy! In most ways, it was better than the Wish. The restaurants had great food but the theming of the restaurants was better on the Wish. We loved the Europa themed lounges.... Ooh, La La- a French champagne themed lounge. The tube, a London lounge themed lounge and they even had areas where you could sit that looked just like you were on the subway. O'Gills Irish pub. We watched a couple basketball games there. And then La Piazza, a carousel themed entryway lounge that served as a hub for entering the other lounges.

The adult only section of the ship was 10 times bigger than that of the Wish. So a huge plus for us to sit up top and soak in the sun and just lay and draw and read.

There was a craft of make your own Forky and decided I needed to draw him in my sketchbook.

There is a ton of art on the walls. Going down the stairs on each floor, outside of the theater like this Muppet Call board. I love the Mary Blair Alice artwork that was on our "aft" side of the ship.
