Oh! This is the kinda scene which I wanted to try! But I was thinking of the flying castle! Into the clouds.
Ok, I shall start with the comments.
Firstly, I think that wind direction isn't really consistent. Looking at the little boy in the foreground (forgot his name), his hair is raised up, however, the rest are calm. As for Howl and Sophie, doesn't have much effect though. It's good that you've tried drawing Sophie's skirt move a bit, but judging at the high areas, there will certainly be fast moving winds and it would be rather violent. I believe even Calcifer is affected as well.
Secondly, there is a confusion of lighting. In my mind, the only light should come from Calcifer and the moon, which lives everywhere else in dark. If this is what you've intending, then there should be harsh shadows around, even the little boy and dog would be in some darkness and maybe some lighting from the moon and reflection, but they are only soft lightings. This is something which you might like to consider next time you do a night drawing. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
Lastly, I guess I won't need to talk about the body proportions, but maybe I'll touch on the focus of the picture. I think it's actually good to have the mountains not in focused and only the characters in details. However, I still think that it won't be enough. The left of the picture is heavier in terms of details, but there isn't a layer or depth to how we should focus on the picture. Everything seems to be in it's original size.
Basically a picture has got forground, middle and background.
In my opinion, I think that the dog and the little boy should be bigger in the foreground showing more of their expression. Where Howl and Sophie can be in the middle ground doing the same thing.
Like usual, the lighting does work for the focus too. It's like how our eyes catch things that are either extreme bright or extreme darkness.
And I just realised something. Howl is not leaning against anything. Is he using his magic? Because this would certainly require a lot of abdominal strength to sit there for long. Haha!
Overall, it's a warm and happy drawing, jus that the night is cold.
But keep it up! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Very cute! I love the way you drew everyone. And I'm glad the old witch isn't in there, she creeps me out, and she wouldn't fit the mood. I think Sophie's hair should be a bit longer, though. Just a little bit.
Markle is so cute with the dog, and I love his expression ^^
And that's the most adorable Howl I've ever seen.
The shooting stars fit the mood well, and I love how you drew them, but I can't really tell what the rock looking things are. Still, the overall position and perspective is really well done. Your coloring is exeptional, and I love Calcifer's glow. It's really hard to make a glow like that look just right, and you managed to do it very well. Great work! I love the peaceful/fun-loving feel that this picture has.

I love this! Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite movies! I only have one small qualm: At this point in the movie, Howl's hair is supposed to be black, not blonde. But otherwise, this is amazing!
