PRINCESS MONONOKE - FANART

This is my fanart of Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke that I did some time ago. I hope you all like it!

Here is the full process:

At first, I just wanted to analyze and recreate this amazing shoot from this amazing movie so I started doing a loose sketch.

After doing this, I decided to make it a full project and not just a study. Then, I filled the drawing with the base colours.

Then I used a basic inking brush for the line art so I can get the Studio Ghibli's look alongside the colour palette.

Then, the obvious next step is doing the inking, shadows and reflections from the light sources. For this step I used the same brush as before.

And for the final touch comes the background! As this shot in the film is setted in the middle of a fire in the village, the sky is full of smoke and light from the fire so I used a basic soft round brush to give that blurred/mixed look.
