This is a study I did recently while resting a little bit from the watercolours. I saw a documentary about Oga Kazuo, an animation backgrounds painter famous from Studio Ghibli’s works. He was showing the entire process of painting a relatively simple illustration using poster colours (the paint that they use for anime backgrounds as well) so I decided to make my own copy of it using the same methods and materials. The copy is not a perfect one but I feel I learned a lot in the process of making it.

PS. go see the documentary it’s really interesting!

Technical stuff:

Medium: KMK KENT muse block paper

Colours: 24 colours NIKKER poster-colours set.

スタジオジブリ作品で有名な背景監督 男鹿 和雄さんのドキュメンタリー を見て、彼が描いたイラストを同じポスターカラーで再現したくなりました。完璧なコピーではありませんが、試してみるとすごく勉強になりました。
