HOW I GOT A JOB AT DISNEY (my art journey)! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itKom5ervNXHY6s.html

The fact that a Disney animator keeps fanart on their walls and is just as big a fan of Tangled as the fans makes me happy 😊 Thanks for sharing Laura!

I love how straightforward you are about the tougher parts of the job! So many dudes sugar-coat the whole process when they talk about it.

My nerd-self started tearing up within the first 2 minutes of seeing the tour because this is 100% what I want to be doing in the future. Thank you for inspiring me even further to go after my goals! This is awesome.

I studied Animation in Uni and at my time at Uni I suffered from mental health. It effected a lot of things including my confidence. I graduated with no confidence as I got low grades & I assumed nobody will hire me. I still have a burning desire to get back into Art in the industry. You’ve inspired me to keep on going, thank you.

Being a Disney animator or artist is my huge wish. Everytime I hear disney theme I just imagine "what if I was a part of making this cartoon" and sadly I live far away from the animation studios, but I practice often to learn how to draw like Disney...hopefully one day...?

I loved watching how your day was! Definitely looking forward for more videos from you Laura! :)

YOU ARE LIVING MY DREAM AND LITERALLY ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD I LOVE YOU

Just curious how it works when the show is over.. do you move to a different show within disney? Or is your contract up and you have to find work elsewhere?

Thumbs up for Pen tool tutorial :D!! and great video :)!!

I'm so glad such a thing exists as a career as ''Background Painter''....I think i enjoy creating environments more than creating characters.

YES for the pen tool tutorial!! I heard my friends use it but would love to see how you use it. Love the videos you have been coming out with this year! Can't wait for more! :)

Ahhh I love that there's artwork by Burdge on your office, makes me feel very happy about wanting to put some of the artwork from my favorite artists

You literally have my dream job. I start art school to major in concept art in the fall, I hope to end up with Disney someday! Thanks for the videos!!

It made me so happy to hear that your painting became an inspiration for the style! It made my heart warm. :)

videos like these mean the world to me. Thank you for being so generous with your insight and for sharing your knowledge/experience.

Awesome vid! I had the opportunity to tour Disney Feature, Nick and Cartoon Network and getting to be in those environments changes everything. I'm working to be a bg/layout artist as well. Thanks, Laura!

I absolutely love your videos and how you present your topics. As a student of animation both in school and teaching myself; watching your videos inspire me to keep rolling with the punches and hopefully one day work in a studio or make my own someday.

Hi Laura The pen tool is definitely something I struggle with so a tutorial on that would be awesome. Also this is a great video and very inspirational.

OMG! I love the stories. Synchronicities are very affirming. So I love how your art was an inspiration for the show style! Keep making the videos. Your confidence is contagious!

So it's not just my office that's freezing haha! A nice insight. Pretty similar to the way my workplace runs as it turns out!

PEN TOOL TUTORIAL, PEN TOOL TUTORIAL, PEN TOOL TUTORIAL! I can not contain my excitement!

Yes to the pen tool tutorial!! Also, I can’t wait for the next video! I love learning how people got into the animation field

I only watched two of your videos, and I’m in love with it!! You’re so positive and sweet and charming! I started crying since I’m a bit worried about my future, and hearing your journey has made me a bit more confident about mines. Thank you for sharing this, I loved it!! 😊

An irl princess drawing cartoon princesses for a living? Goals!

I clicked the like button before I was half way through your video. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and work day at Disney.

Laura I absolutely loved this video! I work with youth and a few of them last semester were interested in digital art...and I can’t wait to show them this video! Really appreciate you sharing this....and your pup is the cutest!!! Have a great day and again thanks so much for posting this!!!

I'm so in love with the Tangled Series

Question, has your work become more difficult recently? Since most movies and cartoons are beginning to move into a 3D setting and using modeling materials

Yes to the pen tool tutorial! Thank you for sharing!

I’m currently waiting for the results of a position I’ve applied for at Disney, and watching this, makes me see how much artists at Disney work with, and it’s amazing. I only hope I can get the job and be a part of these outstanding and incredible films and shows -💕

I love these videos! It's cool to hear about life in a Disney studio. Also, the pen tool is amazeballs. I'm glad I at least learned it a long time ago, cause I use it ALL the time. :) Looking forward to the next video!

Omg SO SO THANKFUL that this popped up for me to watch, just subscribed and can’t wait to watch more! 😊

It's so cool to see your end of things at Disney- I work on a Disney show but in Canada as an animator!

I am a senior animation major, I was just curious how do you learn all the procedures and stuff for jobs like this like all the nuances of how you are supposed to organize and procedurally do things? like did you know how to do all this stuff before you got on the job? like how to know how to look at the animatic and how to look at the color scripts and how to hook up backgrounds with others? Is that all stuff you had to know or learn before hand, or was it something you learned on the job? I feel like as a student I learned a lot about how to make entire animations start to finish (concept art, backgrounds, modeling, rigs, rendering, sound) for the most part except for occasional group projects with 1-2 other people, I do the whole process myself and so if something is done a little differently or unconventionally it doesn't matter since I am the one who has to work with it, with my animations and illustrations its not so important as to the process being a strict thing just whatever the final product turns out, where I imagine in a studio environment its more important HOW things are done because you are working with a team and passing things off.

I’ve been wanting to discover a new KZfaqr to follow and thought to myself, I bet there’s a Disney artist vlogger by now and tada, I found you! I love your videos thank you for your channel and your videos ♥️

I'm in Graphic Design, and my office is also always FREEZING. They think I'm crazy when I never take off my winter coat, and use a blanket. It doesn't help that the vent in literally right under my desk. I feel you.

I recently discovered your channel recently and I am even more inspired for pursuing to work in animation production. Whether it be working at Disney or even other animation studios etc. Love your art work too it's amazing :D

I really enjoyed this video! I like how you really go into the details of your tasks, how long your lunch is, etc. I am in fashion design and animation is kinda sorta far from my personal industry, but I enjoy getting the inside scoop on the animation world, or at least a smidge of a background painter :) Keep up the good work Laura! I have been watching your videos non stop ever since I've discovered you a couple days ago!

Love this! I found your video through something someone shared and I’m so glad I did. I’m a school librarian and former teacher. Always wanted to sing at Disney (I did in show choir in college 😊 but of course it wasn’t a job. Your job is a dream (except I have no artistic talent). Thanks so much for sharing this to inspire others! ❤️

This job sounds so interesting and refreshing. I love hearing about jobs I didn't even know existed. Thanks for sharing -B

Thank you so much for this video! I am currently in my final year of an animation degree and have to write an industry report on the role of someone working in an animation studio and was finding it difficult to find any info on the typical process of someone's role, your video helped so much!

You probably don't even realize how inspiring this video is! I got slightly emotional when you said you found your own paintings in that folder!

You paint 7 - 10 backgrounds in two weeks? So up to 1 background per day? That's a lot of work.

Yass! Pen tool tutorial! :D

Soooo cute!! 💖

You honestly have my dream job, I'm going to school for animation/illustration this coming fall and I could not be more excited.

this was so informative. thank you so much for sharing, its really inspiring

I like your name plate in the office , that so cool!

I would definitely love to see your Pen Tool in Photoshop tutorial!! I love your videos!! They are so informative and inspiring!!

I working on my portfolio for background painting /lay out design so I'm happy that you're explaining the process!!! :D

I hope I get a job in visual development at Disney. Edits are necessary, most would get overwhelmed but to me as an artist it’s normal. Your so cool! And you get to bring your dog to work! Love Tangled the series, you do a great job. Keep going. 😊

Thank you for posting this video. You have given me a view in what would have been my dream Job. Unfortunately, I took a different path in life. An you look like you enjoy every moment of it. Thank you.

I literally just came upon your channel and I am so happy I did. It’s my dream to be an artist for Disney and I’ve been trying to do research and this is so helpful!

I love this so much!! Tangled is my favorite movie ever in the world

You have an amazing career. Watching this video made me think back to when I was a kid dreaming about wanting to become an artist/cartoonist. I feel inspired in wanting to draw again, thank you.

Oh my goodness! Tangled the series is literally my favorite show ever!

I would love to see a pen tool tutorial!! I'm in the same mentality as pre-pen tool use and have absolutely no idea how to use it. Also thank you SO much for all the useful advice!!

This video was already fun to watch, but it was even better when I started imagining you saying Bee Gees everytime you said BG's

Thank you for sharing!! As a freelance designer, I’m super down for ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the tutorials! ♥️

Hi! You are such a great insporation. I love you!

im so glad the tangeled fandom has someone like you who gives super helpful tips and insides on production.

This video was sooo great, thanks so much Laura! I'm super happy that you got to work at Disney and super jealous. :) Was also really cool your own art was in the inspiration book.... very cool :)

Yaas take us through the pen tool! Thanks for sharing this video!

I could not be more excited to have found your channel! This was fascinating 😍 Really enjoyed it.

which painting was the inspiration painting you mentioned?

Yep, pen tool is actually cool. You can edit masks with it, make basic vector shapes which can be resized, and also applying brush styles to the line you've drawn in vector, with pressure simulation.

So happy I found this. This show is beautiful! Thank you for working so hard on it 😁

Ah! This sounds so exciting! And very useful!! I always wanna be an animator but if that doesn’t work out I wanna do stuff like story board artist or anything else art related on a big production! And this really helps getting an idea of how things work as a background painter for the show!! I’m proud that you were able to get the job and you’re having the best time there! And it sounds pretty cool they let you bring your cute dog there!

Love this video and would love to see a pen tool video.. can’t wait for the next video it has lots of the questions I wanted to ask

Amazing in every way. Thanks for posting this video. So many people will love this.

10:37 That’s incredible! I would cry! I can’t believe your art was inspiration even before they hired you!

Random comment: Your voice is so calming to listen to!

I just discovered your channel and while watching you draw and paint a character I thought, "I bet she works on Tangled". I'm glad I was right. Also, I'm super glad to hear that someone else had to learn the pen tool, especially at the professional level you were at! I loathe that tool. I can use it effectively one day and then the next I've got curves and points all over the damn place. Keep up the good work and thank you for making this channel!

Laura I love your videos so much :') thank you for all the care you put into your videos! This one was super fun and informative, I loved the "day in the life" aspect. As someone who wants to get into anything art related, your videos on animation have made me so interested in pursuing it and it feels like it's something I can actually achieve if I put my mind to it and not just a pipe dream... can't wait for the next video!!!!!

I wish I was good at makeup, and able to get a job soon. Something like you! You’ve worked so hard to get to where you are

Love the video and all the information. Really got inspired! Thank you for sharing

This is such a dream. To have your work in something like a Pixar movie or a Disney show / movie. Ugh, I really hope I can do this one day.

I would literally watch any tutorials you do! So yes please!

I just discovered your videos today (my two teen daughters want to go into animation). And more amazing- my oldest got to work on Tangled the Series. She voiced a younger version of Cassandra on two episodes (the bratty "Kid Cass").

Luv your videos! May I ask What kind where to purchase and how to hang tutorial on lights behind your bed? Do you plug lights in same socket as lamps. Thx

I gotta be honest, I got super emotional watching this, 🥺 I was holding back my tears, cause I’m at work 😅 but it makes me super happy to see people fulfilling their Disney dreams 😍 I’ll hopefully be able to achieve mine in the future 💕🙌🏼

How do you take your dog to work?! IWANNA DO THAAT

This... this right here was my dream job as a child. All I wanted to do was be a Disney animator. This was back when all animation was 2D, but it was still all I wanted to do. I had planned to go to Ringling in FL, but I couldn't afford it. Life got in the way, and I ended down another career path. But what a great video! I LOVED hearing about a Day in the Life! So, now, I'm off to watch more videos. Thanks, Laura!

Yes a pen tool tutorial would be excited to see.

I need to practice with the pen tool. I have worked with Illustrator and recently re-acquired it. But, it's been a good decade since I've used it. So, I do at least have some knowledge of the pen tool. Right now, to get those crisp lines, I use the ellipse tool to ink my cartoons. Then just erase or draw to edit those curves. It's tedious, but it works. Though, I know getting back into the pen tool with make it easier.

Congratulations on your job Laura 👏👏

It is like a dream come true! That is so awesome! I just watched your journey then this video! It definitely shows you should never give up! 💚💚💚

Really cool insight into the job. Your art is amazing

Hey laura... Can u tell me best gadget for animation and graphics,, i mean best ipad n all

Awesome video!!! Congratulations. That is all very exciting news. Keep up the great work. Well deserved.

Hey, I’m really into drawing characters and love love love Disney and children’s programs but I don’t know where to starts to learn the fundamentals or what to do to create my own designs?

That’s my dream job(to work in Pixar or Cartoon Network as a Graphic designer)😍😊😱🤩

Loved this video and the insight! Thanks for giving us an amazing Tangled TV Series!

The pen tool is GOLD. Especially in illustrator!

Hi laura... i loved your video. It was very informative and very inspiring! Im trying to start my own art business and your video was wat you talked about was very uplifting. Id love to see more videos... and im curious to see a mini tutorial about the pen tool you mentioned

Thank you Laura, your videos are so informative, uplifting and inspiring!

im so ridiculously jelly of your job! and life!! I also always wanted to be a (Disney) artist when i grew up. sadly i grew up in northern norway so despite drawing all my life, posting it on dA, insta and so on, i never made it to Tangled-the series lol. But im superhappy for you, you must have the best job ever! Even if you just put in a glowing sparkly mushroom instead of a rock during a days work ;)

Pen tool is amazing. I use it to separate characters from the background for animations. Awesome vid ✨💕

@Laura Price, Hi there. I have a question for you. Does a digital artist have to learn to draw/paint with Photoshop?
