Hello world ✨ open me 💫
I’ve always loved the aesthetics of Studio Ghibli movies and how they depict nature with a whimsical flare. So when I saw the whimsical forest of Sumeru in this cozy little game that I’ve been enjoying (Genshin Impact), I immediately had the idea of painting it in the Ghibli style. It would be the perfect fit!
This is actually my first ever venture into using gouache, and I can count the number of times that I have painted in any medium on one hand. Being a complete novice in painting and using gouache, I had no idea how much of a challenge this would be when I started. The entire painting took a week to finish. Despite the struggles, I pushed forward and learned a tremendous amount on this drawing journey, and ended up enjoying the process a lot. I’m definitely looking forward to learning more about painting in gouache and making more drawings in the future!
Thank you so much for watching, hope you’ve enjoyed this painting process and found it relaxing and helpful for your day.
Have a wonderful day, see you again on the next art adventure!
