Jungle Book Pencil Test
"IT'S FILM FRIDAY"
Baloo sees Mowgli
In animation, a pencil test is a movie made from the original rough pencil drawings. Pencil tests are made so that animators can see what their animation looks like in motion before the drawings get sent off to be inked and painted and eventually shown in the finished movie....................the urbandictionary.com

Rembrandt's Self Portraits (http://www.rembrandtpainting.net)
It wasn't until the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, when scholars studied Rembrandt's oeuvre as a whole, that it
was discovered how very many times the artist had portrayed himself.
The number is still a matter of contention, but it seems he depicted
himself in approximately forty to fifty extant paintings, about
thirty-two etchings, and seven drawings. It is an output unique in
history; most artists produce only a handful of self-portraits, if
that. And why Rembrandt did this is one of the great mysteries of art
history. ............... to continue reading this go here

BERNINI
'Modelling in clay is to the sculptor what drawing on paper is to the painter… In the soft clay the genius of the artist is seen in its utmost purity and truth…'

Bernini in Action: Gesture and Technique in Clay
In conjunction with the exhibition Bernini: Sculpting in Clay
(on view October 3, 2012–January 6, 2013), Anthony Sigel, Guest
Curator, and Conservator of Objects and Sculpture, Straus Center for
Conservation and Technical Studies, Harvard Art Museums, outlines the
research and discoveries he and his fellow curators made in preparation
for the exhibition. By researching Bernini's methods, Sigel has
determined which figures Bernini created himself and which ones were
likely created by assistants. His lecture includes his own photographs
of the models and detailed descriptions of Bernini's methods.

Planographic processes
The principal planographic process employed in book illustration is lithography [14], invented by Alois Senefelder in 1798. As the name implies, lithographs were originally produced on a stone, though later zinc plates were used. Coloured or tinted inks were used from around 1830 to produce tinted lithographs which were then finished with hand-colouring [15]. Chromolithography, patented in 1837, employed multiple stones, one for each colour, requiring considerable skill in alignment [16]. By the 1830s lithography became the most common form of medical illustration, and remained so for the remainder of the century and beyond.
Plates were signed in a similar way to intaglio plates, with the artist's name to the right, the person responsible for transferring the image to the plate on the left, and often the name of the lithographic printer added in the centre [17]
