A few days ago, my friend Kylie recommended me this movie called Song of the Sea, a 2014 animated film directed by Tomm Moore and was first released in Ireland. It narrates the story of an Irish youth named Ben who discovers that his mute sister is a selkie and hence needed to find her voice and free supernatural creatures from the spell of a Celtic goddess.
I was really intrigued by it's artistic direction, in which the entire movie was done in a watercolour effect overlaid with details that were added in digitally. There is the organic aspect of the visuals of the film which makes it a lot more captivating and personal to the viewers. The art of this animation film not only encompasses the skills required to translate a novel into a movie, every screenshot of the film is an artwork on its own.
I have taken screenshots of several scenes in the film which I really love, and I think I can learn from this style and apply relevant techniques when illustrating my book.
