Never need a reason, step in time!

Hey Guys!!

(Finally) back with My Big Disney Project !!
15th drawing in this series: Mary Poppins! It was a movie I saw with my brothers and my grandparents a zillion times as a kid and we loved it (I still do: the music is awesome, the charas are wonderful, the story is beautiful )... I must say, my dad's dad was a chimney-sweep, so he was particularly fond of this movie, understandably... when the song "step in time" was playing, we would generally dance all together in the living-room like crazy (what a sight it was, I bet ) before sitting down, out of breath, when the song ended...
So, I guess this scene came naturally to my mind when I decided to begin this drawing besides, Mary and Bert have such a great dynamic together
As references, I used a few screenshots from the movie... the dancing poses come from the scene with the penguins, the rest from "step in time"

DeviantArtists, step in time!
DeviantArtists, step in time!
Never need a reason,
Never need a rhyme
DeviantArtists, step in time!


Material:
- Canson 1557 paper
- Faber Castell "Pitt" Black Markers
- Various color pencils
- a paper towel to stump the sky and put some black dust on the charas


What I learned / will remember:
- Even if they're not perfect, anatomically speaking, it was fun to draw these dynamic poses... I will do that again for sure!
- I really need more practice in profile-drawing (and 3/4 from behind)... Bert's and the kids' faces were really difficult to get... but I'm happy with the final result!
- Smudging their faces was great fun, even if I felt bad at the idea of messing up with their faces
- For the light: wanted to give the piece a "Hollywood Darkness" feel... I'm not so sure about the result, but it looks like night anyway
- Yay for drawing hands!! I took a pic of Hubby's hand and of us holding hands for references and tried to do my best... no shortcuts, no hiding-the-hands-on-purpose... it was difficult, but interesting! and I'm pleased with the outcome!
