This is the scene where you realize why humans are here.
Maybe Haku was surprised because he seemed to know about Chihiro. Why is that child here?
Haku firmly tells him to go back. A scene where the shadow grows at an incredible speed and heads towards sunset all at once. Even if you go back right away, it seems like you won’t be able to make it in time, but it’s an interesting scene.
The ideas around here are amazing. This scene cannot be expressed in pictures. This is only possible with videos
It’s going to be night soon, but before that,
The light will come on soon
The lights are already on! Chihiro…what is this person saying alone? ? ?
I drew this picture a long time ago, and I took a lot of time to paint it carefully, but I think that the time I spent on it made it a better picture.
Run to the other side of the river. Run! Why… or rather, who?
Run！！Haku is cool！！
(Description of the drawing) For the sky, I used pastels (Faber-Castell) and Sakura Coupie pencils instead of colored pencils. Although I didn’t get the result I had imagined, I use these because they are easy and quick to paint over a wide area. It doesn’t become uneven.
Pastels are applied directly with chalk-like powder paint and applied with the pads of your fingers. The paint is then deposited using a special sprayer. I often use coupies for trees, mountains, and flowers, and sometimes I use them. It is quick to apply and creates a soft-flavored picture.
Inside Chihiro’s head？？？
She stop, close eyes, clear her head, and think for a moment about what is happening.
You may feel that the progression is very slow. Each scene takes about 10 hours, so please take your time to enjoy it. Thank you.
Even so, she gets angry at Haku for suddenly ordering her to run without understanding what’s going on. After this, she probably wanted to say, “Please explain to me why I have to run.”
Saying this, Chihiro runs off again. If it had been just Chihiro, she would have been able to return home thanks to Haku, but her parents…
For this scene, I colored the buildings on both sides with colored pencils and finished the rest with pastels.
Coloring such an area with colored pencils is quite tedious.
This scene is difficult to color. It took two days just to color this scene.
Even among Spirited Away scenes, this is one of the most difficult to use colors for. It’s an interesting painting in how it expresses light and dark, and the transparency of the glass and the customers. There are many scenes in Spirited Away where the colors are particularly difficult. This is a distinctive feature of this work, and it’s what realistically reflects the worldview of the film.
Chihiro’s father and mother. Chihiro doesn’t notice her father’s changed appearance and calls out to him to go home.
The kitchen in the back is hazy with steam smoke. I tried to express that. It took a whole day just to color this.
There’s no end to trying to create a perfect picture, so I’ll move on to the next step.
When translating Japanese into English, the translation is quite good. However, when translating into French or Spanish, the sentences become incomprehensible. It takes a lot of time.
Dad turns around. His hair is still the same as before.
Chihiro is stunned. The clothes and hairstyle are just like her father’s.
I’m glad it was a flyswatter and not a machete-like knife.
This is the moment when you can see just the shop owner’s mouth for a split second. It can’t be seen in the video.
The world around her had completely changed. Chihiro kept calling out to her mom and dad.
The lantern in the shop says “Come in.”
The menu sign on the wall says (Nuts) (Iwana – Japanese river fish) (Okonomiyaki).Okonomiyaki has become a specialty of Osaka, and seems to be popular among foreigners now too. My mother used to make it at home when I was a child. Everyone, both children and adults, love it. It’s easy to make at home.
Is the child ghost helping out at the shop?
Confused, Chihiro keeps calling out to her mom and dad. She just can’t believe that her parents have turned into pigs. Poor Chihiro…
The Boy and the Heron
I bought the DVD when it was released.
I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I’m looking forward to it.
I want to draw a picture of it. But the DVD has only just been released, and I’m afraid Ghibli will get angry, so I think I’ll have to wait a little longer before I draw one.
Other bloggers have told me that you should see it in the cinema. I’ll watch the DVD over and over again, pausing and replaying it, and I want to watch it calmly and slowly.
I’m heading back the way I came.
The photo isn’t coming out very well. Maybe I should take it again later.
I just watched The Boy and the Heron. I’ll think about what it means. It’s good that he left behind a thought-provoking work that isn’t easy to understand.
I understand the desire to leave behind something that no one will ever know the truth about. Perhaps he left us with the joy of thinking. I think, therefore I am. Now I feel it’s simple: perhaps Miyazaki left this in his work. I’d like to think about it again slowly. Perhaps that is the meaning itself. The pictures were good, and it’s not a bad work. It wouldn’t have been interesting to people who have stopped thinking. There are so many people out there who don’t think, so think, that’s the way to survive, I guess.
