Artist's Comments

Howl vel Howell (vel Hauru, as you like) and Sophie from Diana Wynne Jones' wonderful novel "Howl's Moving Castle". I'm not sure which version I like the most - the book or Miyazaki's movie. I just love both - that are two quite different stories after all. And I love them both and how they are arguing all the time in the book (just imagining them married makes me laugh^^).

Anyway, it's just a quick drawing, so it may not be perfect, but I like it. I did it just for fun and because I wanted to. I guess, I will draw them again.

And I would have never expected that drawing pen could be such fun after all.

EDIT: I have added some little details and scanned it again. Now the colours look more like in the original version, even if they're still a bit different.

I never did see the movie, but I read the book and I think your drawing captures the characters perfectly. I love their expressions, you did a really nice job.

Hmm.. I've never read the book, but I've seen the movie! Your version of Howl and Sophie looks so interesting! :D I love the interaction between the characters!
Your skills are also amazing! Such a beautiful painting!
Makes me want to find the book right now and read it!

I knew, someone will say it, I just knew!;p

And thanks for the compliments^^.
You won't regret it, the book is really great. Maybe because it's different from the movie.

I don't know the book but I'll be sure to check it. This makes me think that it must be interresting. :)
Lovely work on the watercolours, the expressions are awesome and so vivid - oh, the arrogance. The contrast between his darkness and her colors looks great.
... I'm so buying the book.
