This is my red themed artwork for Ghibli November! I immediately wanted to do a picture of the sea plane from Porco Rosso, it's one of my favourite films, and that little red plane holds a very special place in my heart.
Despite my enthusiasm, planes are really really hard to paint, at least for me. I had lots of fun with the lighting, and a lot of struggles with the plane. I think I need to get a model of it - because it's not only beautiful but would also make it easier to draw again. It's good enough for now, but I'd love to revisit it in the future with some improvements to show.
