Since I got my cute watercolor papers yesterday, I feel kind of excited to paint or make something. I gave my mom the artwork I made yesterday, and she posted it on her wall. She asked me to make her more, preferably something from Ghibli... and so I did. :)
Although Laputa is her favorite, I decided to make her Chihiro and Haku (for now). I don't know why, but I feel like drawing them, especially Haku's dragon form. I thought it would be cool. haha
Of course, I'll paint more Ghibli stuff in the coming days for my mom and my collection. I guess the size of the watercolor paper plays a role as well. It's so cute that painting on it feels like creating a postcard, and it doesn't take too much time.
Anyway, let me show you some progress shots of my fan art!
First, I prepped the sides of my 10 x 10cm watercolor paper with some masking tape and then sketched Chihiro and Haku using a pencil.
I outlined the drawing using a black gel pen. I then erased the initial pencil sketch. The next part would be coloring. I was in two minds on whether I'd use watercolor pencils or the acrylic markers. I decided on the latter.
Aww... aren't they adorable? It's been a while since I mainly used my acrylic markers for my artwork. I like how vivid the colors are. Using acrylic paint would have been great as well, but I would need finer detailer brushes for that. :)
I re-did the outlining using a black gel pen and did some finishing touches.
Finally, I took out the masking tape around it and wrote my username, signature, and the date for today.
It turned out better than I expected, so I'm happy! I'm excited to make more Ghibli and/or other anime fan art in the coming days.
Thanks for checking this post out! I hope you enjoyed it. See you around!

Your drawing is very nice, I really liked the delicate coloring and Chihiro's face hehe 😊
Chihiro's eyes are bigger now! hahaha Thank you! ^^
This is amazing. If we were around, I'd ask you to make me one to put somewhere in my room. You have such great talent, my friend.
Cheers!
Ohh wow!!! Thanks!
I'd happily make you one if that were the case... 😁✨
I loved it, could you draw Princess Mononoke or Kaguya?
awwiiieeee... I'm planning on making Mononoke Hime someday. I haven't watched Princess Kaguya yet, so maybe after that? haha Thanks for the kind comment! :)
More cuchi Chihiro and Haku. The castle in the sky will always be one of my favorite animated film, a beautiful story.
My mom loves Laputa, too... I may make a Laputa fanart one of these days as well. :) Thanks for dropping by! ^^
