He was contrived to imitate and create pale imitations of Disney pencil traits with no soul and no emotion. Tim Burton entered the California Institute of Art and worked in animation for Disney but was soon disappointed by the company’s style, which was very different from his own. His narrative temperament dictates an expressionistic visual style that selectively reveals the emotional heart of his story: one that entertains without burying meaning beneath multiple layers of expository clutter and gratuitous business’. Economically but sublimely drawn, they often put across one simple-but-great-idea. I’ve had the good fortune to see the images Tim dashes off to communicate an important thought to his collaborators. As Rick Heinrichs, producer for Frankenweenie, says: He started to write and illustrate books for children and became a visual storyteller. Being unusual gave him more artistic freedom and it became a characteristic trait of his art. Encouraged by his art teacher at school, he developed his own style and started to feel a true aversion for authority and categorisation. He identified with his characters, timid and left out. He drew monsters to escape the conformity of the American suburb he lived in (Burbank City) and art became his way out. As a child, he often felt stifled and different from the other children. Frankenweenie, Tim Burtonīurton describes this need to draw as a way to focus and to unleash his imagination. His characters are born on paper, marginal and touching, misunderstood and passionate just like their creator. Extremely diverse and prolific, he uses different techniques and material – crayons, paints (oil, acrylic, watercolours), markers, pens, glitters and pastels… And with this he succeeds in creating whole worlds. He draws on at least ten notebooks at the same time and if he doesn’t have paper he will use napkins, tissues, tables or walls. Kempf’s wonderful book The Art of Tim Burton (based on the exhibition at the MOMA) many of Burton’s personal acquaintances pick on this compulsive need to draw and as his partner Helen Bonham Carter states ‘with him, everything starts with a drawing’. He draws everywhere, at all time and on everything he gets his hands on. It is part of his everyday life and he always travels with a pencil in his pocket. He expresses it as a need and a way to communicate his feelings and ideas. A Compulsive Drawerĭrawing has always been part of Tim Burton’s life.

This article pays tribute to the art of Tim Burton, not always well-known but always so rich and so meaningful. The drawing already sets up the tone of the film, the colours of the set or the personality of a main character. With him a film is often born from a little drawing at the corner of a page. He is a talented drawer who expresses himself through his art. Tim Burton is an artist before anything else. The audience is more familiar with his film work but few are aware of the origins of his films and of his creativity in general. Tim Burton has his own style that remains inimitable and his extravagance has become extremely popular. A world where darkness cohabits with bright colours, where weird-looking people and monsters are brave and generous and where the horrible becomes poetic.
