At the fountain

Description

Everyone has done things they’re not proud of. I disrespect my father. I don’t listen to him, and twist his words to get my way. And the worst part is, I keep doing it... no matter how much I love him, or tell myself I won’t do it again.

I can never do enough good to make up for that.


It’s a modified quote from a far off future scene I’d thought of for my “Shoes” fanfic (or, more like a sequel to it, if I make one). I thought it would make a good basis for a father’s day themed picture for :icondisney-club:'s Father's Day contest.

I thought I’d draw Jasmine and the Sultan sitting together. Jasmine isn’t the nicest to her father in the Aladdin movie and series. She can outright refuse to obey him, like when she drives out the suitors in the movie and causes him to worry about her future, and when she sneaks off to save Aladdin in the episode “The Secret of Dagger Rock” against her father’s direct orders. Other times, she can ask him for something, and while he’s hesitating or trying to say no in a way that won’t break her heart, she’ll thank him and run off, acting as though he had agreed (and he‘s just too nice to say no after that). But, Jasmine cares for her father, and I think she probably feels bad for treating him the way she does. She might feel it’s her worst sin.
I wasn’t sure where to put them (or, what to have in the bg) at first, but there’s enough room for both of them at the rim of the fountain, and besides that, the first time she is seen disobeying her father is at the fountain (as well as the first time she’s seen at all...). So, it kind of makes sense to show her being nice to him there. (it was also kind of fun thinking up what things I should add to the bg (though I did use reference from the movie for the fountain, which did have fish and lily pads), though I also avoided working on the bg a bit. ...I ended up having another Aladdin fic idea and took a break to work on it some and to make a sketch related to it: [link] ...I probably shouldn’t have done it. I rushed on the finishing touches on the bg. Maybe after the contest, I’ll fix it up a bit more.)
...he's supposed to be giving her a proud/happy look as he pats her hand. Though, he's always proud of her, even when she does disobey him. (I might should have slanted his eyes a bit more. It did look like his eyes slant a bit, like his daughter's)
(oh, I forgot to mention, first time drawing the Sultan. ^_^ I think it's the second third time drawing Jasmine. I was a little looser with her this time, which I think turned out better than my first picture of her.)

...I also had an idea for a picture of Don Diego and Don Alejandro, from Disney's Zorro, but I ended up taking too long to start on this picture to do that one. ^_^"
(also, did you notice the cute little fish that stopped beside Jasmine? I drew the fish with yellow eyes, like I saw for photos of goldfish I'd found online (though I couldn't seem to find a type of fish that had white fins that looked like the ones in the movie), but you can't really see their irises with the picture at this size. I might upload some close-up shots later, if I think people would be interested.)
