KISHIMOTO Masashi - NARUTO 

504 – Sakura – B6

 

504 - An original hand drawn production drawing, here a very nice correction sheet, from the Anime series Naruto. Featuring a beautiful portrait of Sakura, as beautiful as any genga. Made with graphite pencil and color pencils on colored animation paper. Slight handling wear from production. Corrections sheets are drawn after a rough genga has been pencilled. The animator responsible for character designs uses yellow paper to make corrections, between the rough genga and the final genga. His job is to make sure the look of the characters stay consistent throughout the runtime of an episode. Original production drawings are one-of-a-kind pieces of animation art. Prior to the creation of cels (until the early 2000’s) or the digital painting, each character pose and action must be drawn in pencil. These drawings are the artistic backbone of the film or television show, and are much in demand by collectors. All animation art and production drawings (layout, douga, genga, cel) sold by Galerie de la Bande Dessinee are safely sealed in archival bags with acid-free backing boards to keep the production art protected. Original production drawings are very desirable, because it is at this stage that the animators really brought the characters to life. Original production drawings are a spectacular addition to any animation art collection, and a great way to enjoy the artistry behind your favorite Anime series and animated series.
