Water-dragon-boy

Haku! Or, if you like, Kohakunushi Nigihayami! I watched my first Miyazaki movie shortly before drawing this, and I though it was really cool, although Spirited Away is probably a pretty drastic introduction to Miyazaki. This movie was probably my whole introduction to Japanese culture, especially the animated kind.

I drew him in “human-world” clothes because I hoped he’d be able to meet Chihiro again afterwards. This picture isn’t the greatest, though (short legs), but I like the shoes. The colours would be for his shirt, striped white and foam green (like his dragon mane), with pale blue blue jeans and white sneakers.

He’s quite the 12-year-old (in appearance) bishounen in the movie.
