Arteza - Tumblr Posts
Bought these wonderfully amazing water soluble brush pens from Arteza, and I AM OBSESSED. So, of course my first drawing with them had to be from Studio Ghibli.
Wanted to try something a little different in terms of style, and I'm really happy with how these two came out.
This is Finneley Hannigan and Ophelia Melbury. Finneley is the quiet and very shy gardener at a huge country estate and Ophelia is a polite and very imaginative daughter of one of several aristocratic families who frequently stay at the estate most the year.
Finneley comes from a magical family and is the youngest of 7 children and lives in a house just inside the woods on the estate grounds. His mother, Mabel, and Finneley have the same kind of magic, which is the growing and nurturing of plants and animals. Mabel's magic is best used through singing and dancing, but as she was getting older when Finneley's magic finally revealed itself (he was quite a few years older than his siblings when they discovered their magic), she began to forget how to use her magic. Except for her singing, which she taught Finneley.
After I came up with Finneley's story I realized that I basically made a male version of a Disney princess and I absolutely love it.
I hope to actually make some comics with these characters and this story this time ...
Procrastinating my drawing to post photos of my drawings.
Work-in-progress of a small look at Finneley's garden. I tried to draw actual flowers and it's turned out to be quite fun.
Landscapes have been something I've been too scared to do because of the detail I felt was needed if I did it with colored pencils.
I had the fun thought to scan this whenever I finish it so that I can use it as a background for some traditional animation. But we'll see how it goes.
Happy drawing! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday 🌞❤️🌹❤️🌞
