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.

Thanks a lot for the comment! And yeah... I do wish people would comment more but what can I do.
But what is more romantic than a fireworks display of dying stars? So I suppose they make up very quickly.
I love this, you drew Howl perfectly, though I didn't imagine Sophie to be so pretty. ^^
