Here’s another Steamboat Willie illustration, but I decided to switch things up and go for that authentic vintage 1920s coloring scheme. Those muted tones and sepia-like hues that give it that real old-school vibe. I thought it would be cool to capture that era’s essence while paying homage to the classic animation style. It’s like stepping back in time and experiencing the charm of early animation all over again!

Fun Fact: While “Steamboat Willie” wasn’t the first synchronized sound cartoon, it was the first to gain widespread popularity and acclaim. The integration of synchronized sound, music, and effects revolutionized the animation industry and set a new standard for animated films.
