Today I'm going to show you how to learn while painting a Studio Ghibli scene.
And for that, we will be using these Ohuhu markers, this time the Kajuku version.
What are acrylic markers? This version has 120 colors, but there is also a version with 48 and 72 colors.
The truth is, they really come out beautifully; the packaging looks very cute, and it includes both of its little cards so you can do your swatches.
It also comes with a user manual. It's very important that you read it, because if you've seen another video I made,
My pen exploded on me, and that's what I get for not reading the instructions, right?
And just when it comes to exploiting the down feather, it says here to shake it around and the whole show is basically already known.
One point for Ohuhu is that none of them dripped on me. That's because every time I test acrylic markers,
I'm shaking, shaking, shaking, painting and one of them drips down.
Another thing is that they say these markers have high opacity, meaning you don't have to keep going over and over again.
And just me, I wanted to try it, just paint once, and look, I feel that for a first attempt it turned out well.
I also asked my Instagram followers which scenes they wanted from Studio Ghibli. The truth is, they suggested a lot.
I wanted to draw them all, but I couldn't fit them all into this video, so the first one I chose was Kiki's.
I chose two from Kiki, and everything else was from El Castillo Vagabundo.
Right here I said, I'll record it as a drawing, but my presentation was set up incorrectly and nothing got recorded.
Well, yes, it was recorded, but nothing was visible, and then I downloaded it, and I think now you can see a little bit here.
about how I was painting Kiki.
Well, the first thing we're going to learn when copying scenes from anything, in this case, from Studio Ghibli,
It's just to understand, in this case, the proportions. Train your eye, because often we copy without knowing if
Some of you do take the time, but you really need to take the time to check whether the arm isn't too long.
If the arm doesn't feel strange and so on, that's the first thing you should be checking, and take your time.
The second one is roughly matching the colors we're going to use with the ones in the image.
Here I'm roughly showing you which ones I'm going to use, and another thing is that you should separate your colors by section.
That is, the colors they are going to use or the ones they have in their image, look at it just like in the image I'm showing you.
Make that section so it doesn't get lost, because I feel that sometimes when we copy, there's too much visual information.
And I feel that's why one says "pedo." Gradually, you'll begin to notice where the lighter tones are.
Where are the darker tones, so they don't end up forming clumps.
And how is this useful to you? I mean, what's the point of doing all that?
You can translate this into an image of your choice, for example, grass.
What we're doing here is the grass; we're observing how it's handled when there are lights and shadows.
The same way, you can do when turning it into an image you want.
It's not just about copying for the sake of copying, nor is it merely because something looks nice and that's it.
No! Well, yes, they can, but then make the most of it and you can learn something, and maybe in the future you can do things.
that come only from your imagination, but you already know more or less where to draw those tools from.
And for example, right now we're studying the scenes from Studio Ghibli,
But you could just as well take other scenes from other artists, other movies, other animations
And you already doing that combination, and then it will perhaps become your style or the way you paint.
But precisely for this purpose do we need this kind of study, so that one can copy accordingly.
not just so they look nice, but so that you may learn why
how lights and shadows are handled.
In this case, what I did was take the tones, for example, the tone of the sky,
But I wanted it to be more like various shades of blue, so it's also playing with that.
Not only that, I repeat, just make a photocopy!
It will also help them when making these copies or conducting these studies to understand their materials.
How are acrylic markers handled in this case, or how would they be handled if using watercolor?
Or how it would be if handled with gouache—exactly that is what they need to ask themselves.
And they have to take advantage of it, so if you feel like it, what do you say?
I feel like making a pony scene.
Ah, well okay, let's do it, but during the Inter you'll be learning things.
So, his brain is a sponge, so take advantage and start translating all of that
and apply it to other illustrations or drawings you wish to create in the future.
Another thing we can practice extensively when copying this type of scene
It's fair to give it a tone that's roughly similar to the image, perhaps not exactly the same, but certainly something that captures its essence.
especially when we are doing mixtures, in this case maybe with gouache or with watercolor or with acrylics,
But for example, these acrylic markers, often what we have to do is apply them in layers.
so that it gives us the tone we're looking for, because often the marker already comes with its own tone
And maybe sometimes that's not exactly the one we're looking for, so we need to make mixtures.
or in this case, work it in layers and overlay it.
I think that's the only advantage I see, that some pens are a bit translucent.
Why do they let you do these colored glazes, but the downside is that it doesn't have good coverage.
So there are pros and cons, because I feel that when a marker has very good coverage,
It just helps you with that part where you say, oh no, I went too far, or I don't like it anymore.
So you overlay the color, and then you just roughly keep experimenting.
Another tip is to wait for the acrylic to dry before applying the second layer.
Otherwise, if they keep giving him nothing and then things happen again, all that will happen is that they'll wear down the paper.
And it's going to be worth a fortune.
Another thing I like about doing these exercises is that I can experiment with my materials.
In this case, I wanted to do the outlining with ordinary pens.
It's only slightly purple, and the other one is pink.
They can make a random combination, or use pink where they think there is light and purple where there is shadow.
If you don't want to use pink and purple, then just change the shades.
nothing else, for example, a green—well, a lighter green and a darker green, or in this case, blue.
But it will also depend on the colors of the feathers they have.
Since I had those right there next to me, I thought, well, I'll give it a try.
And the truth is, I find the combination they create very beautiful.
Too bad these pens leave a little burr or a trace of ink behind, which I no longer like.
And that's exactly what I had to do was go back over the areas where I had missed, using my marker again.
where I hadn't liked it.
I think it worked here in this case because where I filled in her bun, which is kind of reddish-purple,
Then I applied a lighter eyeliner or one the color of pink, and it ended up looking a bit better.
Another thing we learn when we take other films as reference is to create your own version.
Just change them a little, nothing more, so you can see how your lines are coming out.
In this case, I also gave him a chibi hole, so you can just go around playing however you like.
The joke is that you learn.
Besides, I feel that when you do these exercises, you need to let go.
So don't think that it has to come out super identical or exactly the same.
because I feel that if nothing is lost, the meaning vanishes, you get stressed, you get frustrated,
If you're not learning anymore, then just let yourself flow as much as possible.
and little by little.
Another thing: if you feel tired, if you notice you're no longer pulling, let it go, let it go, like everything else.
Leave it, come back another day, come back in a bit, have a little coffee or whatever you'd like
And you can go back and try again, no matter what.
So the joke is that you do these exercises and end up having what you're doing stuck in your head.
Another exercise you can do is to slightly change the color palette,
Do not follow strictly as shown in the image,
but rather that you keep giving of your own energy, whether in terms of brushstrokes
or in this case, regarding color, that is, calcifer is a light orange.
But maybe you could add, I don't know, a pink, a purple, greenish tones, yellowish ones,
I don't know, friends, the point is that you experience it yourselves, do your exercises,
Learn and besides, it's awesome because they already do their own version, not just copying it like that.
I know I've said this many times already, but I truly want you to remember this.
I see many people who later get frustrated or send me messages saying, "Why isn't it working for me?"
It's just that you have to practice, I don't know, I know it's very frustrating to listen to
Don't get frustrated, but it's really just a process, and if you do get frustrated, it's okay, nothing bad happens.
It's normal, just leave it so they can come back later, because I know that maybe
In this case, we all consume videos of drawing and painting.
And we see that everything comes out perfectly, just as they do it, but there's always a process.
There are many exercises we did earlier, and often this is exactly what I used to mention to you in another video.
You won't always put your failures, and we should do the same so they don't think
That one paints so amazingly cool, but it's part of the frustration and that's okay.
Only that it's also important to let her feel it and let it flow.
because I feel that's why this issue often arises, that they no longer want to draw
Why do they say no, it's not working for me anymore? It's like, no, chill out, it's just a matter of practice.
And I know this is something you might have heard until you're tired of it, but it's the truth, friends.
Well, in this case, let me tell you that I really like experimenting a lot.
When I use gouache and watercolor, I often use colored pencils to outline.
and here I used them in this case on the acrylic markers,
There are acrylics that grip well and others that don't grip as much.
I feel they make the sheet too plastified, and in this case, 2-3.
So, I didn't feel it as opaque as I feel it should be; I think when it's very opaque, that's when the color really takes hold.
but I didn't feel it so plastified that it wouldn't stay
And I feel that the color they use also has a lot to do with it,
because if they also use a very harsh color or a very soft one,
It will depend heavily on how it behaves with its acrylics.
That is why I tell you that you must get to know your materials.
And this is a good moment to do it, to get to know them and say what works, what doesn't.
I noticed that, for example, the colored pen seemed to slide a bit awkwardly.
And on another occasion, I used, not here but in another drawing, acrylic feathers
And another thing, friends, it looked really nice.
So you must take note which materials go with which.
Which ones do you like, because maybe one thing won't work for me.
But for someone else, yes. Remember that nothing is written, and no one holds absolute truth.
All I tell them is to practice, practice, and let themselves feel their frustration.
why pretend that they don't have it, or in this sense,
Feel your frustration, but don't let it win either—balance, friends.
Finding balance is a pain in any sense, but anyway.
Among other things, friends, I was noticing that these pens, the Kahuku ones,
They are resistant to light, meaning that's where the resistance to light comes from.
And is it waterproof once it dries? Well, we'll have to see, we'll have to see.
We'll have to conduct the test to see if it's true that they're so resistant to light.
but that's cool, it's cool that they put it on you and tell you, because many brands
Well, then they become fake ones and don't even put them on you, I mean, even ones made from other materials.
Whether it's watercolors or something like that, they don't even mention you, which makes you doubt, doesn't it?
Well, anyway, Ohuhu says here that it's light-resistant and quick-drying.
I didn't notice it much, I mean, I didn't realize it was that fast, wow, how quickly it went.
I don't know if I'm just too demanding, but I thought it went well; you didn't struggle with the time, you said.
so it could dry, on the contrary, I think it's better for me if it doesn't dry too quickly
Sometimes I enjoy making transitions, but I tell them, that ultimately depends on each person's needs.
Hey, I also want to tell you that I'm running a giveaway, obviously sponsored by Ohuhu.
which ends on June 30th, the giveaway is on Instagram, so if you want to participate,
The truth is, it's very easy—just mention a friend who is an artist.
and why they want to win the set of acrylic feathers, they are acrylic feathers
They are the ones we are drawing, they are called Kalalau.
Oh my friends, I get all tangled up with the names of the Ohuhu!
And these come with 30 markers—they're very stylish. I tried them out; I think I just tried them out in the sky.
What did I put behind all these little monitors, and they're also cool,
I think with that you could indeed do a bit more transparency, but well.
We are also raffling off a watercolor blog and some acrylic markers.
The Kalalau, if you wish to participate, is until June 30, 2026.
Oh, come on, they'll send your little gift if you win, of course, that's true, really.
My friends, I hope this little chat or these tiny tips I shared with you have been very helpful to you.
This is what has helped mezia when I do research on a film
or any other frame that I like, the point is that you understand, practice, and study
And don't do it just for the sake of the guy, not just because it looks nice, but so that it actually serves some purpose
If they're going to recreate any scene, well, nothing much, you already know I've left the links down here for you
Of the little feathered pieces we saw today, honestly, I did like them—they're very flirtatious.
The ink tastes very flavorful; it doesn't drip, but the tip is always slightly moist with ink.
They defended themselves quite well; I would recommend them, and if I had to buy them, I would buy them.
Well, friends, I'm off now, don't forget to leave me some other tips here, okay?
They use it when watching studies, and also leave me your lovely comments, you know what I mean
Jaypen the video, I don't know what that is, but you guys Jaypen it, it helps me a lot, and also share it
Leave your comments, give your lovely like, and see you in the next video, bye
