The Prince of Egypt, quite frankly, is my favoritest animated movie in existence--The Lion King, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid: most people have one of these kinds of movies to say is theirs. However, growing up with a lot of faith and a lot of love for art, I remember watching it when I was 7 or 8, thinking, 'Wow, this movie is beautiful... The art is so pretty'. What caught me more and more as I grew was the dedication put into the piece. Even now, I see little things I didn't see as a child. During the river scene, Aaron and Miriam take eachother's hand in the background. Tzipporah tells Moses the same thing he told her after the burning bush ("Look at your people--they are free." I always loved the way her face looks here). So many things... The music is powerful, the art is beyond any I've seen in an American animation, and the characters are real. Throughout the film, the way Moses and Tzipporah interact, or the way Aaron acts in the background... All these things make me wish Dreamworks would stick to animation instead of 3D work.

Sorry, I lost myself there. ^^

I recently jumped back into PoE, and I can't stop loving it now. It's what I hope to be as an artist: good at drawing, but also excellent at story telling. PLEASE, even if you don't believe in the Bible or whatever, see this movie. That's not what it's about, anyway. It runs a lot deeper than that.

drawn in 25 min
Many nights we've prayed, with no proof anyone could hear~~

Done, I think. ^^ Nothing too extravagant, but I wanted to draw them, anyway. :)

I'll probably draw more from this movie...

Speaking of Prince of Egypt, Steve Hickner, the director/storyboard artist from Dreamworks just visited my Pictorial Background class in person to talk about what good story-telling is all about and how characters are best introduced within movies. And no, I'm not kidding :P.
