Kiku's Delivery Service

Description

I'm sort of jumping the gun on this, because my old sketchbook is finished, but there's still one last drawing to upload from there that I haven't finished yet. Still, I put off using my new sketchpad for nearly 2 months now and I just couldn't wait anymore.

My new sketchbook was purchased during my recent trip to Epcot in their Japan gift shop. The cover is all cute and Totoro themed and when I saw that I knew that the first picture I drew in there would be something Ghibli related. At first I was going to do a Howl's Moving Castle picture with England as Sophie and France as Howl (that still might happen in the future (EDIT: Spoiler, it did), but eventually went with something related to Kiki's Delivery Service.

I actually never saw Kiki as a kid and watched it only recently and man was that a cute movie. Only Miyazaki could make a coming of age story that is so adorable yet touching.

Anyway, I ended up making America into Tombo, because come on, America would totally turn his bike into a plane for no reason other than he can. Fem!Japan would definitely be a more outwardly reserved Kiki, but with the same inner turmoil.

I'm really happy with how this picture came out. The pages of my sketchbook handle my Prismacolor markers much better. Colored pencil, not so much, but they are just Crayola after all (I'm cheap).
