Concept Background #01

I recently went with a small visit to Studio Ghibli. I was pleased to see Hayao Miyazaki well and hard at work but I was also excited to see all the beautiful hand-painted backgrounds and be able to talk to two art directors about their methods!

I was especially interested in the crayons / pastels they used for the backgrounds in “Ponyo” and the paper that they use. After a small shopping spree in Shinjuku’s Sekaido art supplies store, I went to paint my own thing over two days. This is an image from the private project I'm working on currently.

Technical stuff:
Paper: TMK Poster super-thick (sold in B1 sheets)
Colours: NICKER Poster colours
Details: Stabilo CarbOthello pencil pastels, Caran d’ache NEOCOLOR II pastels, Faber-Castell Polychroms colour pencils.
Line: STAEDTLER MarsLumograph 6B and 8B pencil

I’m not satisfied with the paper quality. I think it’s the same thing as used by Ghibli but I had a lot of problems with it especially when wet. Pending further investigation.



先日スタジオジブリへ見学に行くことができました!宮崎駿さんが元気に作業される姿を見られて幸いです。美しい手描きの背景見たり、背景監督さんたちのお二人にいろんな質問ができて最高でした。

「崖の上のポニョ」の背景美術のために使われたパステルや画用紙の種類を知って、すぐ世界堂へ行きました。さっそく現在準備中の自主作品の景色を手描きで描いてみました。

ツール詳細
紙: TMKポスター紙 特厚口  ほぼB4サイズ  
色: ニッカー ポスターカラー
細部の表現: スタビロ カーブオテロ (パステル色鉛筆)、カランダッシュ ネオカラー2 パステル、ポリクロモス油性色鉛筆
線画: ステッドラー マルス ルモグラフ 6Bと8B

でも今回買って使った画用紙にかなり不満があります。まだ調べなきゃ。
