- Hey, I'm Kyra
- Hey, I'm Butch, creator of Fairly Oddparents,
Danny Phantom, Tuff Puppy,
and Bunsen is a Beast on Nickelodeon.
- And today, we're drawing--
- Studio Ghibli characters--
- From memory.
- And be sure to stick around at the end of the video
to find out how you can enter for a chance to win
this Wacom Intuos tablet
courtesy of our good friends at Wacom.
- Wow, you can explore new ways to get creative,
there's two free creative software downloads,
and pistachios.
- It doesn't come with pistachios.
- [Jackie] It comes with pistachios.
- It's, the color is pistachio.
- No, I think it comes with pistachios.
- No, it doesn't. - How nice of them!
(fanfare)
- Everyone's gonna get mad at me,
I've only seen a limited number of Miyazaki films.
I appreciate what he's done tremendously,
but the drawing things from memory's
gonna be a little tricky for me.
I love some more recent anime like One Punch Man
and stuff like that. - Yeah.
- I also love older anime like Speed Racer.
- Oh, you know I really don't wanna get, though?
That witch from Spirited Away
who has like a thousand wrinkles on her face.
- Yeah, I wanna get her, actually.
- Oh, you do?
- Oh yeah. - Okay.
She's like the only one who's not, like,
an innocent looking-- - Yeah!
- [Producer] Your character (dings)
is Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service.
- Oh my God, I love Kiki's Delivery Service!
- Really?
I haven't seen this film since it came out in the US.
- When was that?
- So, like '90s.
- Eww. - Yeah.
- Kevin's old, Kevin's old. (clapping)
- Will you start drawing, please?
- [Producer] Your character is
(dings) Totoro!
- Aww yeah! - Oh wait, no,
this one's easier.
- Did you think it's easy?
- He's like a bunch of triangles.
- He's triangles?
(dings) - Yubaba from Spirited Away.
- Oh geez. - Oh my God.
She's the old lady.
- She's an old lady.
- Yeah, she is like a big, giant old lady,
huge head, like, kind of the, like a bob.
Like a bun. - Like a samurai thing?
- Yeah.
- I remember seeing this movie.
It was one of those movies where
you hear that's it's like a classic and it's amazing.
And you watch it, and it's like,
oh my God, like, it's a classic, it's amazing, you know?
- Yeah.
- Jackie, I am nervous for this because
as you know, I do not draw in an anime style.
- You really don't.
- The question is, do I actually attempt
to draw in an anime style?
Or do I do my own thing?
- I think you should do your own thing.
I feel like if you try to do it anime,
it might not turn out the best Kevin way.
- If there's one thing the comments have told me, Jackie,
is that when I saw in my own way,
it ends up looking like me.
- From what I remember of her, she's kind of like,
she looks like an ogre, almost,
she's like a troll, that sounds so mean.
Super wrinkly, super detailed,
every time I watched it, I was kind of like,
amazed that they had to redraw cels that many times.
It looks so hard.
- I have never seen this character,
I'm being very honest with you.
I'm just kind of making up an old lady.
- What's, like, the animal he's closest to?
- [Jason] Is it like a teddy bear, like, not even--
- Like a raccoon?
He's got whiskers.
- Yeah, oh, thanks for telling me that
'cause I didn't know that.
Does he have teeth at all?
- Yes, yeah, yeah, like when he opens his mouth to do that,
he's got like a full set of like human teeth.
- I don't know if you can see Kiki in your mind,
but her outfit is very simple.
- It's just, she's just wearing a dress, right?
- Yeah, it's just a dress and she has, like,
props that you know.
- Right, she has a broom. - Yeah.
- Oh, she has like a big bow on her head.
- Yeah, big bow.
- Yes, got it. - Ooh, yes, big bow.
That's for all the people who say I never help Kevin.
I help Kevin all the time!
I help him cross the street.
I help him get some sugar from his neighbors.
I don't even know what else old people do.
- You do help me, Jackie.
- [Jackie] Aww.
- What is Yubaba wearing?
What does she wear?
Like a kimono thing?
- She's wearing, like, it's kind of like
one of those long old lady dresses,
where it's like long sleeves, it's blue.
- I have a ton of those at my house.
- (laughs) Oh my God.
- What's your favorite Studio Ghibli film?
- I honestly really love Spirited Away.
- [Butch] Really?
- Yeah, but also, hmm.
I really like Howl's Moving Castle too.
- My favorite Ghibli movie is Princess Mononoke.
Nausicaa in the Valley of the Wind,
which I think was one of the-- - Ooh, very underrated.
- Yeah, so what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film?
Am I saying it right, it is it Ghibli or Jhibli?
- I don't really know, I say Studio Jhibli.
- [Kevin] I say Ghibli.
- I think you're valid.
But I'm probably right.
My favorite Ghibli movie's probably Spirited Away.
- I agree.
- I love that movie.
Hold it near and dear to my heart.
- Close second, though?
Porco Rosso. - Really?
- Does she have a stick or a weapon of any kind or a?
- I don't think so.
She has a lot of rings on her fingers, though.
- She does? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- He holds, like, an umbrella, am I right?
- Oh, yeah, that's a super iconic scene,
the one where they're waiting for the Catbus.
- Oh, they're waiting?
Okay. - Yeah.
- I don't have him waiting for anything.
(laughs)
- Does he have like a big tail?
- See, I don't know, I drew him like--
- I'm thinking he has like a tail,
but, like, every tail I give him doesn't look right.
- I gave him like a bunny tail.
- Here's what I love about Studio Ghibli movies.
Not everything is explained.
Like, sometimes just like weird things happen
and they never explain it.
And I'm like, you know what?
I like that.
- Yeah, who needs the explanation?
If you need an explanation-- - I feel like explaining
everything is a very western form of storytelling.
- That's very true, Kevin!
I think about this a lot when it comes to storytelling.
- Are you patronizing me right now, Jackie?
- No, I'm not, I'm, this is being for reals.
'Cause I think a lot of people's criticisms
against anime movies is that there's no ending.
But it doesn't have to have an ending.
- Right, because life doesn't have an ending.
- Unless you die.
- You know, I love the feel of this tablet,
but this is really cool.
- Yeah, they're really nice.
- I don't know what they did to, like,
the glass on top, but it feels a lot more premium
than like other tablets I've drawn on.
And it's got like a texture to it
that feels like you're kinda drawing
on a more, like, natural surface like paper.
- I remember the first time I discovered
I could make a gradient on the background.
My life changed that day.
- He's gray, right?
- No, he's brown, right?
- Totoro is not, he's got to be gray.
- Is he like brownish gray?
(laughing)
Oh my God, what's happening?
I was like so confident-- - Now you're just--
- And now I don't know.
- Now you're just (bleep)in' with me.
(laughing) - No, I swear to God, Jason,
I wouldn't do that to you.
- I'm gonna hope that she has blue eyes.
- What?
- Okay, I think I got his color.
I think it's like a brown gray.
- Brown gray? - Yeah.
- I'm almost done, just give me like three more seconds.
Or like 30 more seconds.
- Three, two, one.
Did you just dab?
- Yeah.
- Who dabs anymore?
- I dab.
- I'm as done as I'll ever be.
I think if I did not put those arrows on his chest,
you wouldn't know it was Totoro.
- Really, that was it?
Is that all Totoro is, is some arrows on a chest?
- There's arrows on his chest and the umbrella.
- Okay, that's about all I can do.
- I think, again, like I always say,
I think I got the gist of them down,
but I definitely missed the mark.
- How you think you did?
- I think I did okay, you know,
I think it's cute.
I think for a quick sketch, it's pretty good.
- I thought I did terribly. - Oh.
- And I want to apologize
for all of you Ghibli fans out there.
- I don't know if you guys can see it,
but Kevin is tearing up right now.
He's really about to cry.
(fanfare)
- Ahh! - Oh!
- Oh my God!
Oh my God, okay, you were right, he's gray.
- I think you're right. - Yeah, it's like,
I think you're right.
Man, he's got a good grill.
Very good teeth.
- I mean, talking about teeth,
your teeth in here are very good.
- Yeah, I wanna see what our tail situation is
'cause you gave him like a rabbit tail.
- I did.
- I gave him like a raccoon tail.
- Raccoon thing, yeah.
- Wha, it's fine!
- Yours is great!
- Yours is fine!
What do you mean?!
I was expecting like the world's worst drawing
from the way you said it, like you drew like a scribble.
- What the heck?!
- That's what she looks like!
- This is incredible!
I wish she looked like this!
- No, you're very kind.
This is beautiful, you did a nice job.
She looks like this?
Gosh, she, I should've--
I would help if I'd watched the movie.
- Ohh!
- Oh yeah, okay, so yeah, that's, he's gray.
Yeah, he's gray.
- I think, and what I'm gonna say something,
you got, I mean, you put whiskers on him too.
I think your character exists in his world, though.
- Aww, thanks. - Yeah.
- Okay, but we both got, like, different parts of him right.
- Yeah.
- So, you got his tail, 'cause he's got like a stubby tail.
- [Jason] Yeah.
- Oh man. - Oh yeah,
that's just so wrong.
- See, accessories?
I couldn't, I remembered the rings,
I couldn't remember this jewel.
- You said bun on her head,
and she's got like a dumpling on her head.
A giant dumpling.
That's what that is.
- I think I got the eyeshadow a little close.
- You got that right, yeah.
I just drew a person.
- Nice!
Oh, you know what?
We both forgot her big orange bag.
- We sure did.
- Yeah.
- She, it's the delivery service, so,
what does she keep the things in?
- She's delivering stuff, and you know what?
Ours aren't delivering jack.
- Yep.
I think both of us drew her hair a little too long.
- I think so, I think it's much shorter than I remember.
I do remember her radio,
I just didn't have time to draw it in,
'cause she listens to that radio on her broom.
- That's right. - Yeah, yeah, on the way.
Back when Spotify didn't exist.
- Now that I've seen the character,
and every time, I do this every time,
every time I attempt to draw an anime type character,
it always ends up more in my style than the anime style,
so I've just gotta keep things in mind about anime.
For example, the shadows on the face.
- Oh yeah.
- There's tons of highlights, shadows,
anime characters are extremely detailed,
I always gotta remember that.
- You made a great character design,
be proud of yourself!
- Very kind of you.
