Where we landed on the ground.
Swash….It was a coastline washed by crashing waves.
He can see many sailboats on the horizon.
This kind of drawing is really difficult. It is easy to draw a picture in which the lines are clear and the colors are recognizable. It is difficult to draw pictures with only coloring.
I am always troubled by the use of color.
He climbed up the hill and looked around the area.
He couldn’t find any Kiriko or heron.
But he see what looks like a gate.
Going down the cliff
Down the hill.
He came to the gate that he could see. He see some writing there.
The harder the picture looks, the easier it is, and the easier the picture looks, the harder it is.
This is the easy one.
It’s like a warning of some kind: ”Those who seek my knowledge shall die.
Something is coming up behind him, but Mahito doesn’t see it.
He feel something deep in the stone and stare at it.
At that moment, he hears a shout behind him and turns around.!
Wham!! Clash!
Wham!! Clash! Pelican says “Go! Let’s go! “Let’s go eat!”
The meaning is currently unknown. It’s called Miyazaki’s World…
Wham!!The gate opens on impact.
Rmbl・・・・Flap,Flap・・・・
All this painting needs is patience.
“Let’s go! Let’s go eat! Get up! Walk! Walk!”
“Splash!” ”Splash!”
“Someone open the gate…”
“Get back, Damn birds.
Grandma Kiriko has been rejuvenated into a very good looking woman.
I have always thought that many of the old people that Mr. Miyazaki draws have terrible faces. Sophie in “Howl” has a big nose, and I thought that even if she aged that much, she would not change. However, it seems that many people’s noses get bigger as they get older, and although he exaggerates a little, he is not wrong.
Bachi,Bachi!!
Whizz! Whizz!
This one painting probably took me about 4-5 hours.
I’ve always thought that there’s no one way to draw well, you just have to draw a lot, but I know why I can’t draw well. It’s preconceptions and fixed ideas. If I drew it as it is, I could draw it, but people tend to use their own minds to transform what they see. See it as it is with clear eyes. This isn’t limited to painting, but…
“On your feet.
“Move”
It’s an intimidating, scary way of putting it.
“Move!………The buried will wake.”
“I’s gone.” “Walk backwards…….Don’t look back”
“Show me that arrow.
“The gray heron? No wonder the pelicans couldn’t eat you.”
(It’s a mystery why having heron feathers keeps you from being eaten by pelicans.)
”The wind is up. The tide’ll be high. Follow me!”
“That scar….”
“My plaster came off”
The conversation that follows
“Hahaha. It’s the same. See,” says Kiriko, showing that he has a scar in the same place. “I was hit by a Numagashira.” “What’s a Numagashira?” “It was a big one. I ate it though.”
Numagashira doesn’t appear after this, so there’s no point in him having the same scar. It seems like a meaningless line with no context.
I think this is a good piece, made very carefully. That’s why I felt it was such a waste. Master Miyazaki hadn’t included any meaningless lines up until now… so maybe this is the part that people who saw it said was incomprehensible. The development that follows is fine, so just enjoy it without worrying. I wanted to see a Numagashira…
Kiriko is a fisherman. This is a float used to mark fishing gear.
A giant shark-like fish with five eyes is caught in a trap.
This concludes Volume 5.
