Praying Lilo

©Disney
Seldom we see prayer being shown especially in animation. Well here's a favorite shot. It was a very quick drawing for a camera test. There's a big pull back starting very tight on Lilo then revealing the open door of the room with Nani listening just right outside. Lilo was praying for an angel then the next shot we cut to Stitch coming out of the big crater. The size of the sketch for the test fits on an 8.5x11 paper but the original layout ended up a 16 fld set up. Note the date at the bottom. That's already seven years ago... can still remember that day vidly.

A lovely layout, Armand.
Make it any bigger, and I'll paint it!

You are a wonderful talent Armand. Great staging, great angle for light to bathe Lilo, and wonderful light feel to the sketch. Thank you for sharing.

Muchos gracias for the comments guys. Im so glad I found this drawing stuck deep in my artwork box. This was one of those moments that when you make a thumbnail idea, it's already woking. It's a pleasure to share it. Have a great day.

Hey Armand,

Awesome drawing! Was just watching Lilo & Stitch again the other night. There's so many sweet moments in that movie and this one's definitely one of them. Lilo has so much character and you really get to know her well. Something I miss in many of the latest animated films, that to me, seems too action packed and often with too many characters.

Well, have a great day and I'll be looking forward to your next post:)

P.S. You know if Nelson Bohol has a website or blog? If not, you should definitely introduce him to blogging:D I know that would be appreciated by many!

Take care,

Hans

Hans,

I don't think Nelson's into blogging but I could definitely ask him if he's interested.

Nice! We certainly do need more prayer in movies. I'm glad to see this shot made it in.
