Nausicaa is one of my favorites too! I love Miyazaki in general, but Nausicaa especially (my 4-year-old loves to pretend just about everything is a wind-glider).
Your analysis is really good, and I definitely think there is a lot to be learned from copying. Thank you for the tutorial.

Thank you so much and you are welcome.
Aww… It must be cute to watch him/her playing. :3 (Why does English have gender specific pronouns…)
I discovered Miyazaki just a few years ago and I have been in love with the movies and the comics ever since. Nausicaa is my favorite of them too.

I hate that about English too; as it happens I have two girls.

My goodness, I REALLY wanted something that could help me out with backgrounds since I'm just awful with them! This is really helpful! Especially all the tips as to what I should analyze! I usually try to reference things and just guess - but I imagine analyzing would definitely work better!

Aha I haven't been working quite with backgrounds, but I have taken your suggestion in the tutorial for people! Once I'm less afraid of backgrounds, I'll give it a shot XD!
