I know you’ve all seen my version of Tessie, Kylie, Angel and Jacoby as the main characters of Frozen. I wish I had the Photoshop file with all the layers…but somehow, all the PSD files of my cartoons after number 80 have disappeared.
When I got the idea, it started as Kylie being Elsa and Jake being Kristoff…and it just took off from there.
Elsa (Kylie) and Anna (Angel) went through a few test sketch ideas, but Jake’s Kristoff and Tessie’s Sven were pretty much set from the beginning.
This sketch is where I finalised Angel’s Anna pose.
Not wanting to waste paper, I would do pencil sketches and final inks on the same page. This is one of those.
I worked on getting Kylie’s arms just exactly right. A LOT.
I also drew Kylie separate from her clothing (Jake and Angel were always drawn with their outfits on). I wanted to be sure her body looked right under the translucent costume layer.
When I was inking Jake’s face, I did a few trials before settling on his final face. In some ways, it’s way easier to draw on the iPad than it was to draw on paper!

How cool to see these!

I love posts about the artistic process. I particularly love Angel’s casting in this cartoon. My! Tessie made a grumpy Sven,
