Reflection: This is a still from the film Spirited Away. Studio Ghibli has many beautifully animated movies such as Spirited Away that I gain much inspirtion from. All of the Studio Ghibli movies are hand drawn. I liked the idea of a blue and orange contrast so I decided to make simple changes from the original. With so much negative space thought it would be a nice opportunity to develop shadows and shading.
Analysis: I concentrated on blending colored pencils for this piece. As a bridge into sketching realistic figures, I decided to draw a character. I thought the simple clothing folds also helped me practice realism.
Discovery in the process: In the process, I discovered that while I used blending tools throughout the process, I should attempt blending with a white colored pencil next time.
