“Congratulations, You've been approved as an artist to create sketch cards for Disney / Pixar.  We're excited to have you on board and look forward to seeing your incredible work!”

​

After a lifetime of study, practice, and a strong love of all things related to Disney animation, Todd Aaron Smith was given the opportunity to submit a portfolio to art directors at the Walt Disney Company to create sketch cards of their classic characters. Todd sent two full pages of work, each containing nine individual sample sketch cards.  Weeks later, Todd received the email for which he had been working his whole life.  The email welcomed Todd to the team and mentioned that his portfolio was "perfect".  

​

Since then, Todd has had his head in the clouds as he has drawn the greatest animated characters ever created on hundreds of cards for Disney fans and collectors worldwide.

 

Although Todd loves professionally drawing these characters, he takes the responsibility very seriously, working long hours into the night to get the characters just right.
