My Watercolor Cartoon Fan Art

ADVERTISEMENT

I am a big fan of animation movies and the sci-fi genre in general. I spend most of my free time watching television (too much time according to my friends). Among all, my favorite is Studio Ghibli: Totoro, Kiki, Mononoke. These are the characters I grew up with.

I also love watercolor, I think it is one of the most beautiful traditional media. I experimented with watercolor texture, recreating the effect at work one time and I fell in love with it. Watercolors allow me to experiment and layer different color without any concern of making mistakes.

So I thought why not make fan art of my favorite characters with this new style I discover? And that’s how I started creating this series of Studio Ghibli watercolor set. I ended up selling them on Etsy. Now I am slowly adding more pieces from different movies and TV show I like Doctor Who, How to train your dragon, and Big hero 6.

Is it possible to download 1080p or 4K versions of these? They're awesome and I want to use them as backgrounds on my phone.

Do you use anything else but watercolour? How do you get the white lines to be so perfect? did you use stencils ? Please enlighten me because I would love to try this myself.

Is this really water color? I mean I love it. It looks incredible, but it looks more like digital art.

Nice works, but I can't shake the feeling it looks photoshopped instead of painted.

I reread what I wrote, I totally left out I created these in Photoshop, so yes you are right! they are digital painting, but I also created some of the watercolor texture I used.
