Howl Moving Castle Fanart

adelair (60)in #art • 6 years ago

This is my personal take on Howl from Studio Ghibli's "Howl's Moving Castle" animated movie.

I love his elegance especially his blue eyes and his golden hair (which changed as the movie progresses) <3

Here in my painting, it is a transition from his human form to his monstrous form.

PROCESS

I used Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Bamboo Wacom Pen and Touch.
I have different coloring styles depending on how I wanted the final output to look like.
So basically I experiment on whatever tools I have. A total artistic freedom.

Facts about the process:

As I progress on my painting, I add the details little by little
This piece has a lot of "soft light" layers on it :D
The detailed process is same as how I paint the guy in this article
This coloring style is from BnW to Colored, different from how Alura was painted.

Also I had a depression when I was working on this piece, that might be the reason why I feel like there is something while looking at this artwork.
If you felt it too, let me know...

OMG, this is my all time favorite fan art of an all time favorite masterpiece by Hayao Miazaki! I love it! Love it! Did I mentioned it enough? Hm, maybe not... XD ^.^ <3

I've always wanted to do a fan art of Howl, but couldn't decide on the pose, colors and composition in general, but this is amazing piece. It captures his characteristics and his intense gaze. whew

...instant Resteem... ^.^

Woaaahh! Thank you so much @katalinaooma <3
This is one of my favorites as well, hard to decide between Spirited away and Howl's moving castle. I love them very much. I watched this for the nth time, i can't track how many times i've watched it already. And I still keep fangirling over and over.hahahah

I decided to create a portrait fanart, i love to focus on his face , his perfect face HAHAHAHAH

anyway, you should create one, i'd love to see it :)

You made him to be a handsome man, Adelair, I don't remember if he was good looking in the movie ^^.

I like his steel gaze, very arresting :).

The gaze was actually meant for me that time, it's as if I want someone to look straight to my soul and mirror the emotion I have. ^_^
