Wow, this is awesome and surely Miyazaki is the master. Also, The Ghibli Commercials are a different experience like I saw someone say (what if, if there was snow in Ghibli movies) but there is an ad where it snows and also there's another ad where the backgrounds were colored with lead pencils, it is called Koro's big day out.
Glad you liked it! We were really happy that we got to share this guide. Koro's Big Day Out is one we'd love to watch ourselves someday, if we ever make it to the Ghibli Museum.
I know he mentions "Holbein is reasonably priced and a little goes a long way so i recommend it" but this does not meant that Holbein is cheap or bad quality paint. He's using tubes of watercolor, which is the 'more bang for your buck' option when it comes to buying watercolor. (they also come in tins, which is even cheaper, but tinned watercolors are less flexible.) Also, Holbein is a really good quality manufacturer. They're definitely professional-grade paint; they use good materials and the pigments are strong. Drawing the conclusion that he's a "not-fussy cheapskate" isn't accurate. Holbein tubes aren't CHEAP, there are way cheaper (and worse) options. Also, he's recommending 24 very specific colors. It took a lot of fussing for him to select those 24. It took a lot of fussing for him to decide on Holbein (over other brands, such as Daniel Smith, or Winsor Newton, or Da Vinci, etc). He's summarizing years of fussiness in a drawing, but concluding that's he's not fussy and a cheapskate doesn't ring true to me.
Love that you explore different drawing styles as animations. Big fan of anime!
Really awesome share and take, cool to see English versions
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you for sharing this. I wish they'd been for sale when I visited the museum!
Ah, a shame! But you're more than welcome -- happy to bring this guide to a wider audience.
