Doodle 12: Princess Mononoke (Sen)
If you know me well, you should know that I obsess over things. Books, movies, singers, artists, actors, you name it. Right now, I love all (and when I say all, I mean most) Studio Ghibli movies. Yesterday, I just watched Princess Mononoke, which is a great movie by the way, so if you haven't watched it, please do. I loved the complexity of the characters, the plot and the overall lesson that it taught. If you read my my rant on Spirited Away (another great movie) on my Erasing the Words blog, I usually hate it when characters aren't shown getting together, but for this movie, it was oddly satisfying that they didn't. I have no idea why, but it's just another reason to say it was the best movie ever. Anyways, I doodled this during "snack time" in Chinese School, and I'm actually really proud of it because I didn't have any pictures of Sen to refer to. I was going to edit it and make it a lot better when I got home and saw pictures of her, but then I realized I would kind of be cheating you guys, because I promised that I would give you my unedited doodles.
Doodle 13: Kodama
This is once again relating to the movie Princess Mononoke. Here is a kodama who lives in the Deer God's forest.
Doodle 14: Haru
Approximately a week ago, I watched the movie The Cat Returns, also by Studio Ghibli, and I found it absolutely amazing, so here was a doodle of the main character, Haru, in cat form. If you haven't watched this movie either, you definitely should! Again, this picture was drawn without reference, so I know it's not all that accurate....
Doodle 15: Half Head
This is a picture I drew in a workbook for Chinese School... I was going to draw the whole head, but it didn't fit because of that stupid crease down the center. I still like the half that I drew, though. :)
Remembering Doodles 3: Breakfast Near the Fire-pit
My family and friends go camping every year near the fourth of July-ish time and I almost always bring a notebook. Here is a doodle I drew when I was 10 (the date and time are on the drawing). I guess I though it was really good when I drew it, but now it really doesn't seem that great. Well, anyways, breakfast was always eaten near the campfire, so I just decided to draw the pot that we put on the fire and the fire-pit itself. Not bad, eh?
Once again, thanks for reading! I really do recommend the movies Spirited Away, The Cat Returns, and Princess Mononoke! Feel free to explore Studio Ghibli's movies!
