MULAN SCREENCAP STUDY ✸ Using Jelly Gouache 

**Our art style is really just an amalgamation of all our different interests being filtered through us. ** Gurrrl that's a word

The control you have over the edges without tape is so satisfying

She mostly always uses the same brush for everything when my cup of water has 1949274+ used brushes looking at me while I paint 👁👄👁

That “painterly” background style is very old-school Disney. If you want a great background study challenge go back a little further and look at what they were doing in the 60’s and 70’s... check out 101 Dalmatians and Aristocats in particular. Those backgrounds are absolutely phenomenal! That older school Disney artwork really is something to behold - and really captures a lot of what you were talking about with regards to fore, middle, and background.

Please please please paint Hercules!!!! I watched that movie twice a day everyday for like 2 yrs, 😂😂😂😂 I still have all the lines of dialogue memorized the movie is part of me.

"I don't want Frozen merch, I want Mulan and Hercules merch". --> same. I'm 35 btw

I agree so much with the character designs of older Disney movies! As an example of how they used to look different from each other, if you put the characters from Mulan, Hercules, and Hunchback of Notre Dame together, they would clash together. Like you said, Mulan is inspired by Chinese painting so the lines are very flowing and made of simple shapes. Hercules is the opposite, the designs are very angular in reference to Greek art, plus the design itself was done by a political cartoonist named Gerald Scarfe and so the characters are very exaggerated. Hunchback, in contrast, renders its characters with much more shading than in other movies which makes them look almost 3-dimensional. But if you put the characters from Tangled, Frozen, Moana, and Raya together they would look like they all came from the same movie. It’s a shame cause we know from plenty of video games that 3D can have a lot of different styles too but Disney is more focused on shit like “how realistic can we make the water?”

I just wanted to leave a slightly unrelated comment. But I'm about 10 weeks pregnant and have had hyperemesis (severe morning sickness) I can't watch TV or really anything that has a lot of movement. It makes me incredibly sick. But I found your channel and it's honestly been my safe haven for the last few months.. I'm not an artist of any kind but the beautiful artwork you create is mind blowing. Your channel has been the only real thing I've been able to watch with out getting sick. The bright colors have just been so cheery and been something I've really needed during these last few months. I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos have helped me more than you will ever know. ❤️

It's definitely before my time, but sleeping beauty has perhaps the best art I have ever seen. Seeing it as a kid really encouraged me to put as much effort and style into backgrounds as the characters

It's been a while since I've seen your channel. Congratulations hitting (now over) 100K! Yay!

I love how you talk about Disney’s 90s classics because that is exactly how I feel about them! This video made me smile for Mulan is one of my all time favorites! My holy Trinity is Mulan, Hercules and Tarzan!

That scene with Mulan and her father is my favourite! The song Refection is so good but when her father comforts her and tells her about flowers blooming late and they're under a magnolia tree, I just thought ahhh, these inner little subtle meanings since mulan is magnolia in chinese!!

Yey! 😍 I literally went to RU-vid every day to check if your new video had come out, haha :) I do love Mulan too, such a great animation film! And Mulan herself is very strong and inspiring woman.

Heartily agree on the different styles of Disney films being so prevalent during the 2D animation. I'm also very interested in the fact that you said Mulan and Hercules (two of my faves ;) ) because to me they both have an emphasis on swirl patterns, but used in strikingly different ways. As you said, they are reminiscent of the era they're set in. I'm hoping Disney try more experiments again, I loved the blend of 2D and 3D they did with Paperman. I'm finding that the 3D films are relying much more on colour palettes to differentiate rather than styles. Anyway, love this! You're making me want to watch Mulan again and do some screencap studies (which I've been meaning to do for ages but just never get around to doing).

Would you be open to a cell shading style video? Just sharing some of your tips and tricks? I love these gouache videos, thank you for putting so much time and effort into these 💓

You have a literal super power in witch you are able to talk so well about things that many people would say are hard to explain.❤️❤️

I love the screencap that you chose, my favourite scene from the movie!! I get chills every time. I really enjoyed watching your process using gouache. Beautiful work!

I literally needed this rn thank u queen 😭💕

Mulan and Emperors new Groove are my favorite Disney movies! I also really like the live action of Aladdin 🧞‍♂️ I always liked the original a lot but I think they modernized it in a great way.

Wow, this video makes me want to study scenes from series or manga

I love Mulan 😭 . Thank you for the amazing draw for her 💜.

I have always been obsessed with The Lion King 1 and 2! The style is so amazing and I adore animals, also grew up in Africa so I guess that helps too ;p

I grew up with disney princesses, i was (and i still am) a sucker for super romantic fairy tales. My favourite at the time was cinderella, now i can say that my favourite is sleeping beauty ; i just adore everything about it, from the story to the art style. I love that it’s set in the middle ages as well. And, in general, the fairy tale of sleeping beauty is my ultimate favourite.

yayyy, im so happy you posted!!! i Love your artwork and your work gives me sm inspiration ahh i love itt!!

I have a question why you dont color with a strong color when you color the first layer instead of coloring 2 layers?

Okay, your paintings inspired me to buy gouache and giving it a try, thank you. :’]

I *adore* Hercules, honestly. Would love to see some screen caps of that one! Also: 'Somebody call IX-I-I!' was such an underrated joke.

it helps me so much to use gouache, tysm

I love the old Disney and their merch for Sure! HERCULES IS UNDERRATED!!! I love that movie too

Wow, I love the vibrant colors, pretty.

YES I always specifically loved the art stylization in Mulan and Hercules too! I loved how they were able to reference historical art of those times with the disney aesthetic. Also, beautiful Mulan studies 😍

I liked this video even before watching it because I just knew it would be good from the jump!

One of my favorite movies ever. You're right, first scene is very dramatic and second one is so peaceful. And both of them turned out so beautiful. Thank you for sharing what you've learned. ❤️

Where do you find refills for those sets? I love this and I really find handy for travel BUT I CANT FIND REFILLS

My favorite Disney movies are The Little Mermaid, Hercules, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty And The Beast, Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, The Princess and the Frog, and Tangled.

Omg I totally agree with EVERYTHING you did about 90s Disney movies! Seriously I can't even get down with new Disney movies. LOVE the studies! May try it myself 😁

I want to watch Mulan now. It's one of my favorite Disney movies too. Love how they both turned out! For me, it's so helpful to watch from beginning to end with a painting to understand how layers are built. Thank you for sharing!

Wow fantastic painting 👍👍 Hello I am new friend🙏

Your work is just gorgeous, this video gave me such a wholesome feeling

I can't more agree with you at 17mn. THE SWIRLS ARE EVERYTHING. I don't know if you play League of Legends, but a character there, named Jinx, has a "firecracker" skin based on China fireworkd and it has the SWIRLS ! Maybe you could check it out !

Yayyy💖 i love screencap redraws 💖💖💖

I love these talk through videos that you do so much! especially with the jelly gouache, because I cannot figure it out but you inspire me to work though it! Also, I JUST watched heracules the other day and i completely agree that it was SO SO good.

Wow. I really like this video art. Thanks for sharing dear friend ❤❤❤❤

I was thinking about trying gouache when I stumbled across your video! What type of gouache would you suggest to beginners?

Hercules is SO underrated! I've probably seen it 12 times.

Hello imawonder. How are you? I love this gouache painting of mulan. I love that dinsney movie. I wanna get back into gouache painting. I bought the miya himi gouache and acrylic gouache. I,ve never painted whit acrylic gouache and i wanted to trye them. I painted whit oils and watercolours but i found out it was not my painting medium and oil paints are super expensive 😊

Incredible Mulan

I was born in the 2000s and I had some of the movies on dvd and vhs. I loved them. So naturally I dislike tbe live actions a lot. I abhor Mulan but Aladdin a close second just because how much I loved Jasmine then and even more so now. I think about her line "I am not a price to be won" a lot. They could have done a ton of they built off that AND improved on the racist parts but somehow they didn't fix the mistakes AND erased the decent base for a femninist character. Even the clothes look pretty cheap. They had so many cultures to reference from with gorgeous clothing, especially for high ranking women, AND YET

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 4:17 God loves and blesses you!✝✝✝ Turn away from these evil things and turn and seek Jesus Christ for hope, love, and peace! God loved us so much that he sent his one and only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins so that one day we can see God in heaven and go to heaven! Ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness for your sins and He will forgive you because He is a merciful God! Repent before it's too late!!!✝✝✝

I just wanted to say that thankfully RU-vid recommended me this video. Now I'm IN LOVE with your illustrations! I've subscribed and followed you on Instagram, you just got a new fan haha

You saying how you feel stuck with shading I exactly how I feel.

I'm thinking of getting himi gouaches, but it's too expensive in my country. So my question is, is it worth the hype? I was using acrylics and I really had a hard time using them, it's was impossible to blend it out. So I really want to give it a try to himi gouache, but not sure about the drying and blending. If anyone have used himis and any experience or ideas about this, plss reply to me. Thanks in advance.🥺💗

Well this is completely stunning 😍 my favourite film of all time ❤🐉

OH! Those Hercules plates were a promo from McDonalds!! It's extremely lame but I bought the whole set of them off ebay a couple years ago to replace the single Pegasus plate I had when I was little :) They're melamine so they're not microwave safe but you can put them in the dishwasher.

Hi, your colors are so beautiful, the picture is so beautiful, can I ask you what paint and pens you used, thank you very much

The second you mentioned Shang as a bi-con... instant subscribe from me. So happy to have found this channel ☺

My dumb ass couldn't understand a thing from this video 😭 Not until I played this video for the second time. This is a great video, new sub here!

I was about to give up on gouache When I found out this video. I didn't knew you should start thin to thick XD Okey now I got to do the very smooth opaque style I wanted to do Yey thank you so much!!!

How do you decide which color to layer first since the reference photo only show a singular color? Do you just choose to layer each color with the lighter version of that color? For instance, if mushu is gold, you laid a watered-gown gold OR light gold before building it up to the actual gold color you want. I know that layering gives the result more depth but I’m curious on how you decide what to layer.

Im wondering if the pages kinda merge the colors across the opposite page as the sketchbook ages? If it does I'd feel so bad your work is beautiful!!

Omg every time someone sees my art and say “”omg that’s so good, how do you do that” I’d say “lots of practice.” After that they are visibly annoyed 🤣

I've never been to Disney either but I would also die inside if I saw that merch 😭

Hi! What brush are you using? I’ve been struggling to find one I like using with the gouache

Love this I wanna watch this but I can't rn. Thanks for making my day tho

I like this movies and the both scenes are very beautiful ! I like your gouache process ! Which scketchbook do you use ? I search a scketchbook who I can use watercolor.

You should do a studio gibli landscape or city scape with these jelly gouache paints I think it would look amazing , with ur art style

I like how you did screenshot repaints of the OLD Mulan movie, so pretty! You should do more like that, there's a lot of other movies with cool screenshots and you could always add your own charm too

definitely agree about how the 3d animation disney does now is lackluster in personal stylization between movies. i also remember eating toast off the hercules plates as well 😭

My favorite Disney film is Peter Pan. I also love Beauty and the Beast and Mulan.

OMG THIS IS SO COOL. YOU INSPIRED ME SO MUCH

WHY DOES YOUR GUACHES HAVE SPAR WHITE, WHY (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

My favorite Disney film of all time is Lion Ling. I think it would be cool if you did some art based off of that movie 😊

i apologize for the amount of questions i'm gonna ask but i'm new to jelly gouache. is it water in the bottle and is that the best way to reactivate it? + how do you get a good consistency without reactivating the layer under it? i have a hard time with this

Wow your paintings are unreal ❤️. Please would you be able to create a Disney series?

I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ve noticed I have a hard time sitting through full painting videos (my adhd brain usually doesn’t have the patience 😩) but I found your talk throughs to be super engaging and cozy! I find myself watching from start to finish!! 💖

Yayyy💖 i love screencap redraws 💖💖💖

First

So a couple weeks ago my friend shared her Disney plus account with me and we watched mulan together because I had only seen parts of it, and omg....like it was so iconic. I don't know how I went so long in my life without being exposed to that. I had no idea "Make a man out of you" was that much of a BOP like towards the end of the song I got actual chills. but I was sooooo mad with the way they treated her after they found out she was a girl (still kinda laughing at the scene where they're like "look...a WOMAN" *gasps everywhere*), like she literally just saved them from destruction and they were ready to kill her anyway??? that's so insane. Also, I actually screamed in the ending fight against Shan Yu when she did that trick with the fan. That is some top tier badass queen energy, I would've asked for her hand in marriage IMMEDIATELY. Ok I'm done fangirling. I think. This was so inspiring and cool to watch! I definitely want to try screen cap redraws and other studies, they're really helpful when I get burned out from original drawings. Thank you for this video! It always provides great company when drawing ^^

Loved this very helpful 👏 and lol hello fellow Canadian 😀😊

AHH YASS QUEENN Can you try digital art next?

Cool artwork) life inside this book))

Wow! What’s the study on the previous page?

I'd go back in time just to get those Pocahontas ice cream cups they were the best

Can you put all your videos into an Arabic language?

I want Hunchback of Notredame merch 😞

I love your art style! I just discovered your channel and your art and I'm obsessed!

Aiii que fofoo 😍😍😍 ficou lindooo 💜❤🌺

Great demo. Learned so much about belly goache

i thought that i'll get bored while watching but i didn't! i love it

I also have that protective nature over our childhood movies

Your vid sooth my anxiety ,☺️☺️

Snow White + The little mermaid + Mulan.

Is that 101 Dalmatians on the lower left?? Please say it is

Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow

I really reallly love the colors! I wish I have your color sense!!

Omg I had those Hercules plates - I think they were actually from McDonald's??? But the Megara plate was my LIFE

My very first TV crush happened when I heard, "Lets get down to business, to defeat, the Huns!". Cartoon crushes aren't too wierd, right?! Lol!!! Mulan was fantastic and probably my fav as well. Bambi was the first Disney movie I saw and I cried for days. Aladdin is another fav for sure! Bao is beautiful. The Book of life and Wreck it Ralph

Thank you for sharing tips on what are the do's and don'ts in gouache, I've been experimenting on this medium lately~ Also, What are your thoughts on Mulan 2??? Would you also draw a screencap from Mulan 2???

I live for *hello friends* and *hello jellibeans*

Ah I love these studies! Wish I had time to work with my gouache or even time for art, but work and school takes up all my free time! ~ Answer to your question about favorite Disney film, I have to say Tarzan (love the songs and motion) and Atlantis, don't know what about it makes it one of my favorite, but I love to have it play on the background while doing some other stuff. Other Disney movies that I enjoy watching is Emperor's new groove and Mulan. I grew up with dubbed Disney and Emperor's new groove has hilarious dubs.
