Finally colored it. It was actually fun to work on.
You'd think that I would find the castle the biggest pain, but that was actually the fun part. The biggest pain was the hillside, followed by the clouds. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the clouds, but I can't seem to make them look right even when looking up tutorials. There is just something I do with the brushing - I guess I don't really experiment enough, I like my good old comfort zone too much. I have to start getting out of it.
Starting in the small I guess....
Will try to do backgrounds on my pictures over the summer. Even if it's just a sketch. <3

Used one of Ghibli's pictures of the castle in the movie because it was more a practice piece in painting, which I myself think was a bit failing since I didn't get the texture on the rocks and clouds exactly the way I wanted. Then again, it was something I did for relaxing so I'm moving on to the next thing now.
