I just finished reading Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones and it inspired me to draw this of Howl/Howell Jenkins and Sophie Hatter. :] Title comes from Keane's "Somewhere only we know". The picture's also sorta inspired by the Studio Ghibli adaptation of the book because of the background that I attempted to imitate... XD; I tried to recreate the sky during the part about Howl's childhood with crayons to make it look sorta childish. Dunno if it worked.

Howl and Sophie were colored with Prismacolor and Roseart colored pencils. Stars done in crayon; sky done with watercolor.

Diana Wynne Jones.

Time: 2 hrs appx.

Oooo. I love hwo you drew Sophie! Her dress is nice, too! I couldn't help but picture Howl the way he was in the movie, because I watched it before I read the book. XD

You make me wanna read the book. ;_; But the background does mimic the juvenile effect you were going for. =D Crayons are a wonderful invention, oh yeah! >D

You have to look at them like different things, though, because so many parts were different in the book, and in the movie. I love the art in the movie, though. :D I was sad though ebcause in the book his hair only changes slightly, so I thought it was funnier for him to make suck a big deal of it. XD

YEAH... after reading the book, I went back and watched the movie again and I was REALLY confused, especially by the ending. I really don't quite understand how Sophie was able to save Howl or resolve the conflict... :[ That's true about Howl being a lot more comically dramatic in the book. :D He and Sophie were a lot more cheeky and funny together in the book, which was not shown in the movie. It's understandable though, since a lot of things were cut out. However, I did like how in the movie, Sophie grew younger due to her emotions. It made her look a lot stronger and that she broke the spell all by herself.
