The Boy and the Heron  Volume 6

The Boy and the Heron

I, Hotta, draw all the pictures and make this homepage by myself.

I explain how to draw the pictures and each scene.

Although I call it a complete guide, you may think it is not yet a complete guide.

I hope that everyone will join me in my quest to create a complete guide, and I would be happy if you would look at it until the day it becomes a complete guide. I apologize for the slow pace, but please bear with me.

With thanks to Director Miyazaki and the Ghibli staff, this is a gift to all Ghibli fans around the world!


Volume 6.  Himi sama  (In Japan, sama is what we call someone we respect by adding it after their name!)



“Where’d you come from?”    “Up above”

“It is nice place?”   “Not for me”

Mahito is from a wealthy family. But his mother died and he is the target of criticism at school. He must not like life on earth because he has had so many hardships…


“Have you seen a woman called Natsuko?”  “Are you sweet on her?”  “My father is….I’m trying to find her”  “And what are you called?”   “Mahito”       “Meaning “sincere one”….So that’s why you reek of death”


“Look”


“None are real.  In this world, the dead are the majority”



“Who are they?”  “Buyers coming for our catch.They’re not able to kill.That’s my job.”


Making of

I was planning to draw the making of the picture, but I always forget when I start drawing.

It’s a painting with many small people. What is this? You may wonder. It’s a painting where paint is the main focus. I don’t know how to paint it, but I’m going to go with the flow. I don’t know whether it will be a good painting or not. I’ll just rely on my intuition.

I’ll paint it roughly. It doesn’t yet have the feel of a good painting.

Now, please look forward to the finished picture.

I’m also currently drawing Spirited Away and Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Which one I draw depends on my mood, so I don’t know when each one will be finished. Recently, I’ve been neatly dividing each one into four panels.


Continued

There are many dead people in the place where Kiriko lives, waiting for the fish to be caught.


 


It is Warawara like a marshmallow.


”Get off. Help me. The Warawara are coming.”




 

This painting is fiction and just a fantasy.

 

「Sis? I can’t do this anymore. It’s the same everywhere! What should I do?」

「I know. Listen… it’s going to get worse, but it will get better. Nothing lasts forever. Don’t give up.

I’ll come find you. Live!」
