Sterling Sturtevant, character designer.
I love cartoon pencil drawings, storyboards, and early, raw character designs. So, after writing about Amid Amidi’s Cartoon Modern on the ReFrederator blog, I was taken by these model sheet designs in his book. ‘Little Guy’ and ‘Big Guy’ were desgined by little known (to me, at least) Sterling Sturtevant for a Chrysler car commercial. She worked at Disney, UPA, and Playhouse and had that neat-o 50s style that wormed it’s way into my consciousness when I was five years old.
