Sunday Sketches -- 27 February 2011

It's been a few weeks, but we're back with more Sunday Sketches!

On Saturday night we watched the Irish animated film, The Secret of Kells.  It was a pretty remarkable movie, and the next morning I sort of couldn't stop thinking about it.  The result is this:

The shapes and and colors of the characters in this movie were just so unique and interesting to look at.  Aisling is such a great character.  And now we want a white kitty to name Pangur Bán.  It inspired some Kells art by J as well:

Okay, so I only did one Kells character.  I just can't remember the look of animated people (especially after one viewing) the way the Mister can.  We saw Deathly Hallows again this week so I spent most of the time drawing the trio looking kind of angsty.  That movie is so good.  


(Also I really would like a white kitty too, but I think my favorite name is still Waffles.)

  1. I love that movie- I think I told you, but Josh told me to tell you to watch it ages ago and I completely spaced it. It really does stick with you. Tyler got bored- he might have even fallen asleep. I was thinking about showing it to Lily, but I haven't decided if it is to intense or if she'd just get bored. As usual I like all the sketches- and if you get a white kitty, Lily would inform you that its name has to be Marie.....

  2. I really liked this movie, as well as your drawings! I thought of Julie right away when I saw that kitty in the movie. After watching the show, we did a little research into the actual book of kells, and it was really interesting indeed.

    That girl's hair is just so lovely.
