This is a very thorough and yet succinct summary and evaluation of Burton’s art style and inspiration. After seeing how understated Big Eyes was stylistically, it’s comforting to revisit the aesthetic of his older work. It’s amazing to hear that there’s a historical explanation for the Mad Hatter’s well… madness. Depp says that old hatters used to use glue with mercury to keep the hats together, which sometimes caused the wearer to go mad. This is just one example of a Tim Burton costume design serving more than just an aesthetic purpose. Tim Burton Style Analysis of Drawing Inside the Tim Burton drawing style Tim Burton is one of modern filmmaking’s best-known directors — largely because his films all look like Tim Burton films. It’s hard to find a recent director whose distinct visual aesthetic has become so universally, immediately recognizable. Even in his new live-action Disney film Dumbo, which is something of a departure from Burton’s previous work — it’s a remake that doubles as a careful critique of its predecessor — it can still easily be called “ Burton-esque,” like all of his movies.

One of his student works, a partly silent animated short called Stalk of the Celery Monster, once again earned him attention from Walt Disney Studios, which brought him on as an animation apprentice after his graduation from CalArts in 1980, drawing mainly concept art and models for features.

Having gotten The Art of Tim Burton for Christmas a few years ago, I found this article as a helpful addendum to the book. When I was younger, Tim Burton’s movies were a huge influence to me growing as an artist. I would cite him as one of my first real inspirations that I felt I could relate too. Later, I discovered his drawings and was amazed. Seeing how his style developed and where his inspirations lie pushed me to search for my personal style and find true inspirations.

Unlike the colder, more sterile version of Krypton that was depicted in Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie, artist Mark Goerner's version of Superman's homeworld feels vibrant and colorful. Also, the planet's more realistic look feels almost counteractive to Burton's more German Expressionist style.

I have always liked Burton’s drawing style – all scratchy, loose and unapologetic – and it is fantastic to see some of his most memorable characters in their initial concept stage.
