Drawing Nimfa. I tried to do a full page of expressions but after the first three I sort've failed... Heh-heh-heh...

This is just stunning, again. You've drawn the same character multiple times in a different perspective and expression and it still looks like the same character.
*Sigh* I've been meaning to ask you this for a while now; Where did you learn to draw Glen Keane's style (or Disney's style, I don't know what it's called)? A book, a school, an online tutorial, where?
Ever since the time when I first clicked your avatar after seeing it on one of Jazz-DaFunks deviations I have seen you rocket past me in terms of talent and style while I loiter around the same level I've always been.
Now I know that artistic growth is different for everybody (as shown in this chart ) and I do see myself improving slightly, but if you can give me any advise, any at all in how to develop Disney's style, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Where did I learn how to draw in this style? I thinks it's from looking at the artist's drawings that I want to emulate and decomposing them into steps. I have a stack of expression and character sheets in my sketch book that I use when drawing. And if I can't figure it out from a finished drawing, look for unfinished sketches in the corners of finished ones (like in Jazz's uploads) or look for Glen Keane's drawings that he made in people's sketchbooks. The on-the-fly sketch book drawings by Glen are very simple, but you can plainly tell who it is he's drawing with those simple lines.
When I made my Kung Fu Panda OC I printed out some of Nico Marlet's concept drawings for Tigress. While drawing myself in "Expressions", I looked at a lot of Pocahontas and Mulan sketches (and started to use Chris Sanders style mouths) And for Nimfa, she's a mixture of Jin Kim's concept sketches for Penny from Bolt, has a Chris Sanders's style body, a mouth like the monsters from Pixar MU, and costume choice based on various manga/anime characters.
Really though, it feels as if I haven't improved much at all. Recently, I took out my favorite sketchbook from 2012, I was pretty surprised at how good it was compared to my drawings now. I think it's just we can't see the improvement in our own drawings that well.

So in other words I should study the works from the movies and just teach myself?
Thank you for this long reply, it was very informative. I've had the direction and destination in mind for learning this style, bu I never had a starting point, thank you for giving my one.
...and uh, sorry for the late reply.

I wish I had more story to tell you about! XD
I've got nothing.. I mean, I have the environment, the ending and the opening, but no middle. Nope, nothing at all.
