He’s funny. He’s brave. He’s loyal. He LOVES summer, and he’s made of snow! You’d have to have a frozen heart to not love this friendly snowman! In this video, Disney Animation is bringing you an adorable tutorial of how to draw our pal Olaf from Frozen and Frozen 2! It’s perfect for whenever someone in the family wants to take a nice break with a friend who’s an expert on cooling down.
Here, Frozen Supervising Animator Hyrum Osmond walks us through the steps of bringing Olaf to life on the page! When Hyrum was working on Frozen, it was his job to collaborate with a team of animators specifically on how Olaf should appear — everything from how he moves to what facial expressions he makes. He was even involved in some early feedback on Olaf’s overall design. (For example, did you know that initially Olaf’s teeth were made of ice instead of snow?)
This tutorial is so much fun — not just to draw, but also to learn some fun facts you may not know about Olaf! Hyrum opens up about how Olaf’s character changed as the movie developed, what Josh Gad brought to the role of Olaf, and a very personal contribution made by his son to how Olaf moves!
