Description Looking at this picture really makes me want to improve my drawing style... I'm just not satisfied yet. Something is not right. u_u

Anyway, here are Seiji and Shizuku from Studio Ghibli's Whisper of the Heart. I really love this movie. It inspires me and always cheers me up. My sister said it was a boring movie, but I find it to be one of the most important of the films I love. It reminds me that you don't have to be a hero or live in a magical world to have a great story, just a big heart and the courage to share it. I hope to do more fan art of them eventually!

Seiji's right hand (the one holding the bow) is the single best hand I've ever drawn. I'm mad proud of it hahaha.

Very nice! Like the way you arrange the characters and the background. The shading and the colors can be better though, what did u use for this?

Thank you very much! I'm happy you like the composition and background, they're things I especially tried to improve on. I actually think there's a lot more that can be better (well, everything actually ), I just have to keep working. I used watercolour for this!

Katsu-pon In reply to Crackabad [2010-06-21 02:49:09 +0000 UTC]

Sorry for the late reply! I completely agree with you. I think it's especially magical partially because the material is so commonplace yet special at the same time.

Well, he did say "someday"... Err... But he's so cute and I love him so much I'd totally say yes! Hahaha~

Thank you very much for the kind comment. I used watercolour.

I know...I don't understand why more people don't love this movie - it's funny, sweet, unique, and kinda romantic! And let's not forget the excellent animation!

Lemme go check out your other stuff!
