Description

When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow
Someone's gonna be kissed

Leslie Caron as Julie Andre, and Fred Astaire as Jervis Pendleton III.

My sisters and I were at a used book store, and, on a complete whim, decided to buy Daddy Long Legs. We figured with Leslie Caron and Fred Astaire, how could you go wrong?

Not only did it not go wrong, it went totally right. I adored this movie. It's totally busted up my 'favorites' list for musicals, now I don't know which I like best! :lol:
And that's a pretty big deal because when we usually pick up a movie on a whim, it doesn't end so well. X3

This movie is full of wonderful dance sequences.
Here are two of my favorites:
[link] "Guardian Angel"
[link] "Sluefoot"
I thought about drawing Leslie Caron in her red dress from the "Sluefoot" sequence, but the stripey shirt from the "Guardian Angel" sequence won out. I think that's for the best since I already drew Astaire with Charisse in her red dress. Don't want to get too repetitive! X3

Cell shading because I wanted to keep that fun sort of cut-out look of the background from this sequence. :nod:

My sister's companion piece to this can be seen here:
(Hers is better than mine.)

Splendid. I enjoyed that film, and you illustrated that scene nicely. Good work on the color differentiation too. Wonderful artwork. :cheery:
