Jasmine: It's a shame Abu had to miss this. Aladdin: Nah. He hates fireworks, plus he doesn't really like flying either... That is, um... Oh, no. Jasmine: You are the boy from the market! I knew it! Why did you lie to me? Aladdin: Jasmine, I'm sorry! Jasmine: Did you think I was stupid? Aladdin: No! Jasmine: ..That I wouldn't figure it out? Aladdin: No! I hoped you wouldn't... no no, that's not what I meant... Jasmine: Who are you? Tell me the truth. Aladdin: The truth? The truth... um....The truth is I sometimes dress as a commoner to escape the pressures of palace life. But I really am a prince. Jasmine: Why didn't you just tell me? Aladdin: Well, you know...royalty going out into the city in disguise... I mean, it sounds a little strange, don't you think? Jasmine: Not that strange. -----
So Aladdin and Jasmine are my second favorite couple from Disney. I just love this movie. And I even liked the two sequels--granted, they weren't necessary, and the animation was geh... but they both had some really good songs and moments. Also I love the TV series to death. And yes, I fully intend on drawing Genie and Eden... just as soon as I figure out how to draw Genie. x__o;
I decided to do cell-shading for this one because I felt it better complimented the movie. Also I decided to play around with gradients again with my cell-shading. I really like how it turned out! It took a while, but in the end, I really think it helped with the lighting (I ain't good at night scenes).
FYI: I'm not going to be illustrating a specific scene for all these couples I'm going to be doing... The most I'll do for some of these is take inspiration from a scene, maybe put them in the same place, and maybe even doing what they were doing (or something similar to it)... but I won't be copying a screen shot. Because that's lame.
ANYway! Back to the picture. This is actually the second one I drew. The first one I did I liked at first... but then when I was nearly finished inking it, I realized that I could do better. So, I threw that one out, and made a new one. :^3
Yes, I've been informed of that. And they did make it without permission. I have reported them (but additional reports of their theft would be appreciated of course).
Love this film and couple, too. I swear, the first few films of the Disney Renaissance, including this, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King are among their best of that period because the films were amazing with their great stories, characters, and music and songs. Those four are ranked as such among my favorite Disney films.
