How to draw in the World Chorus Artstyle!

Hello everyone!! Sorry that it’s been a month, I’ve been busy with a lot of stuff and overall just haven’t made that many new discoveries. However, I did promise to make tutorials on how to draw World Chorus kids the way they’re done in the attraction, so this is my attempt. I’ve done a previous tutorial, so I’ll be combining that with the current one, like an update!


To start, here’s the old tutorial!


Here’s some other art and examples, before I go into more detail about each component.

An experiment into lineless World Chorus art!


Jules, my version of the conductor doll, in the World Chorus artstyle!

Me myself and I, the archivist, as a World Chorus kid! I drew this for the archive trailer on Instagram and YouTube. It could be considered a very accurate World Chorus kid, as I followed the principles of their anatomy instead of adding my own flairs or tweaks.


Now onto a more detailed view of some of the components of the World Chorus kids:


Here’s a study into their anatomy. I discovered recently that they seem to act like toons, having four fingers instead of five. Their eye shape is very distinct, appearing either full or half-lidded depending on the frame. They are mostly expressive with their eyebrows and mouths, having a few different shapes as I’ve detailed here. There is a sketch of Victoria in the top left of me trying to put all three things together.

Evidently, these are more experimental. I wanted to see how curly hair might look on a World Chorus kid with the flair, and also try putting the principles together again. Though, something I enjoy about drawing World Chorus kids is transposing them into my own style. I may not be able to draw them 100% accurately, but that’s not the point. No matter the style, they still are just as validly World Chorus kids as the original animation.

Other small examples of working out the style:



Someday, I’ll do a post relating to how to design your own World Chorus OCs, since I only have one at the moment outside of Jules and my designs for Tito, Harry and Juli. But until then, I hope you found this useful! Feel free to show me anything you make!

Draw in your own style and way, because even if this is just a fun lineart look from me, I still think it’s beautiful <3

The Buildings of World Chorus!

Image
Overview These are images of the buildings inside World Chorus. The walls of the attraction were decorated in yellow, purple, pink and orange, and had handrails to guide people and also avoid them getting too close to the buildings and characters inside, likely to keep illusions and ensure there was no damage. The room was framed to hide the lighting through the use of several orange clouds, which also gave the appearance of a spiral, and the entire room gave the idea of enlarging, as the animation became progressively more and more advanced as the buildings increased in scale and size. GRRRRRR >:/// Darn you protection, but luckily there’s like nothing useful on here haha The Flag The attraction’s flag boasted the famous slogan, alongside the sponsorship detail, to show guests this was a continuation of the ride they had just been on, in a walkthrough experience! The Eiffel Tower The Eiffel Tower held the only animatronic in the entire room- a small conductor doll with pale skin, b...

A critique of a 20-year-old paper by Laudan Nooshin (Circumnavigation with a Difference? Music, Representation and the Disney Experience: It’s A Small, Small World)

Image
Hey guys! This is a slightly different type of post to usual, but a while ago I stumbled on an academic paper called ‘Circumnavigation with a Difference? Music, Representation and the Disney Experience: It’s A Small, Small World’, and as an it’s a small world enthusiast, I wanted to look into the paper and what it might be talking about. However, I think Nooshin fundamentally misses the purpose for which the ride is created. Whilst I can’t claim to be an authority on Orientalism or very well versed in music theory, I want to create a counter-argument for Nooshin’s claim based on the message that the Disneyland Paris version of it’s a small world and the park as a whole aims to share, and reveal the idea that the ride’s simplicity of nature is what makes it so beautiful, alongside how the park humanises the ‘other’ and encourages us to explore perspectives beyond our own. This is neither an essay (mostly) nor an attack, merely just someone sharing their thoughts. And a fun fact, this pa...

Small World Small Talk!

  Small World Small Talk was an interactive feature added to World Chorus in 2001-2006 According to some source code that I translated from French (it may not be perfect but it was incredibly hard to find and translate, I can’t even remember the website now): 'Small World Small Talk The attraction born from a partnership between Disney and France Telecom The Small World Small Talk attraction is the result of a collaboration between Disney's artistic teams and several research entities of France Telecom, including the Creative Studio, the Small World Small Talk attraction was inaugurated on 2 April 2004, in the France Telecom post show of the It's a Small World attraction at Disneyland Paris park.
