With Disney beginning to open up their theme parks, here is an older drawing made before the Dumbo ride was “re-imagined”. This meandering drawing I believe got cut short (see the people putting on ponchos and the umbrella) as the rain started to fall. You can also see the ink on my thumbnails starting to […]

Each weekend Studio 1482 will be featuring posts from the One Drawing A Day archives. Today’s post is by Greg Betza, from back in 2016. It’s titled “Accordion.” #ODADarchive I made this drawing of performer, Natasha, at EPCOT in Florida a few years ago. The accordion was wonderfully odd in contrast with her flamboyant costume. […]

Just returned from teaching a five-day Disney workshop with Dalvero Academy. What a great time! I don’t always get to draw as much when I’m teaching, but I still get a few in here and there. Can’t go to DisneyWorld without drawing! Especially when this parade wandered across my sketchbook… posted by Veronica

This is a drawing I made of the Crystal Palace in Disneyworld over ten years ago. That place has played such a big role in my education as an illustrator, and now I am so privileged to be able to share it with my own students. Looking forward to going with Margaret and a new group […]

View post →A drawing of Margaret and a little boy that I made one day while we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Not sure how the little boy wound up in that position in the drawing: actually he was watching Marg feed the birds. Which you’re not allowed to do at Animal Kingdom, by the way. Posted […]
View post →This past August, Margaret and I conducted our semi-annual class at Disney World in Orlando. GREAT place to draw and learn! One of the things everyone must draw is the Electric Light Parade, a beautiful Disney spectacle. I drew these two young girls while we were all waiting for the parade to begin on Main […]

This is a drawing I made at the Animal Kingdom in Disney World a few days ago. These two Military Macaws were going at it and I couldn’t tell if it was love or war they were making. And I’ll tell you, the sounds they were making were no help in figuring this out! Their […]
