My favorite illustrator is Claire Keane, who is also an animator and visual development artist. Her father Glen Keane is one of the most well-known animators that worked at many of the Disney classics such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
Claire worked on the designed for Tangled, Frozen, and Enchanted for Disney. I fell in love with her drawings and style since I saw her works from The Art of Tangled. She always did some sketchy designs but it looks awesome and magical. She can also paint characters or background with tones of details and dynamic value. When she was working on tangled, she kept a journal of things she did at home and translated it into Rapunzel’s world . I love what she did with it because it made Rapunzel so much more believable and cute. I also admire how she makes use of colors to make everything so magical.
Here are some of her works:
