You may want to pick a different goal.

You want to work for Disney, but you don't even know what company does now? (or in the last 10 years).

I should meme now.

Whatever type of art you're going to be doing, you'll need to know how to draw. So work on that. You can learn digitally or traditionally, doesn't really matter since they both use the same knowledge. Drawing on a tablet takes some time to get used to, but you'll probably want to learn to use one eventually. You don't have to though, if you really don't want to.

There stuff is all pretty much 3d now but I assume they still have a couple 2d artists on for stuff like concepts or storyboarding. Obviously no where near the amount they had when they actually made 2d films but I'm sure they still have a use for a handful. Those guys are probably the cream of the crops tho so I assume it'd be tough to get a job there.

they won't hire anyone (at least as an animator) who doesn't have significant life drawing experience in their portfolio

You better practice EXCESSIVE gesture and expression. Not just facial expressions, either; full-body excessive expression.

You'd be better off studying these and just starting your own animation channel on Youtube, though. Disney is picky and pays pretty low wages.

If you want to work for disney you can'g just be really good, they have VERY high standards. Like they almost exclusively hire young prodigies fresh in or just out of college. So if you're in college now and you aren't good enough, I guarantee you'll never work for Disney. That doesn't mean you won't eventually be good but you just have to be realistic about your goals.

Yes you say that but calarts and modern cartoons exists

>do I have to get good with traditional medium first?

Yes.

ignore him, you don't have to be good at traditional medium first.
you can start at digital painting first.
drawing and painting is the same doesn't matter which medium it's on

>>2760419
yeah but it's way easier to start traditional, there's less of an initial investment, and it's way easier to make mistakes that you don't understand with digital (simply hitting hotkeys you're unfamiliar with)

Write a letter to mister Disney. EZ.
